Olive leaves are consumed as an extract or a whole herbal powder with several potential therapeutic benefits attributed to polyphenols, tocopherol’s isomers, and flavonoids, among others. This study assessed the variance in functional features presented by olive from three different Portuguese cultivars—Cobrançosa, Madural, Verdeal—randomly mix-cultivated geographical area of Vale de Salgueiros. Inorganic analysis determined their mineral profiles while organic measured total phenolic flavonoid content, scanned tocopherol fatty acid composition. The extracts’ biological activity was tested determining antimicrobial antioxidant power well ability inhibit acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, MAO-A/B, angiotensin-I-converting enzyme. inorganic showed them be inexpensive source able address deficiencies. All cultivars appear have for use possible antioxidants future alternative antibiotics against some multidrug-resistant microorganisms, caution regarding arsenic content Verdeal cultivar. Madural’s displayed properties considered natural multitarget treatment Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s diseases, depression, cardiometabolic dual blood pressure modulation. work indicates that randomly cultivating significantly modifies leaves’ composition keeping multifaceted value.
