Abstract: Method for the production of cannabinoid acid esters of general formula I or II or III or IV, wherein R1 consists of a straight or branched alkyl group, alkenyl group or alkynyl group having from 1 to 5 carbons, during the simultaneous extraction of cannabinoid acids derived from the plant Cannabis sp., preferably Cannabis sativa. The invention also refers to esters of cannabinoid acids with general formula I or II or III or IV obtained by this particular method, and pharmaceutical compositions containing said esters of cannabinoid acids for use in medical treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing at least one composition, said method comprising the following steps: (a) preparing a paste from flesh of fermented Kalamon olives; (b) subjecting said paste to a separation process yielding oil, a semisolid fraction, and an aqueous phase, said separation process preferably being centrifugation; and (c) performing one, two or three of the following: (i) harvesting said oil, thereby obtaining a first composition; (ii) drying said semisolid fraction, thereby obtaining a second composition; and (iii) harvesting said aqueous phase, thereby obtaining a third composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the method for obtaining in pure form or as a mixture of the bioactive diol forms of the main secoiridoid phenols present in olive oil and certain isomeric forms or derivatives thereof. Specifically, it relates to the production process of S-(E)-oleocanthadiol, S-(E)-oleaceinediol, 5S-(E)-oleomissionadiol, 5S-(E)-oleokoronadiol, oleuropeinediol and ligstrodiol and their corresponding polyethylene glycol hemiacetals through extraction of specifically selected olive oil with polyethylene glycol and then treated with water. It also relates to the pharmaceutical preparations containing the above substances in various combinations and the therapeutic properties of these preparations for the treatment of cancer, degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, inflammatory diseases and the prevention of creation of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for obtaining in pure form or in a mixture the oleacein and oleomissional substances from olive fruits and leaves and certain derivatives thereof, the bioactive diol forms, by selective extraction of specially selected leaves or fruits with water or organic solvents. It also relates to pharmaceutical preparations containing the above substances in various combinations and the therapeutic properties of these preparations for the treatment of cancer, degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, inflammatory diseases and the prevention of creation of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi.

Abstract: A method for debittering olives is described. The method includes contacting olive flesh with a granular polymeric resin under conditions sufficient to remove one or more bittering compounds from the olive flesh, thereby debittering olives.
