  • Patent number: 11912957
    Abstract: A process for making olive oil having a high polyphenol content and, in particular a high hydroxytyrosol content, comprises the conventional steps of transforming (II) olives (1) into an oily must (5); of resolving (V) the later into an oily juice (7), from which a base olive oil (8) is obtained, and into an aqueous juice (6) containing most of the polyphenols; and of separating (VII) the vegetation water (9) from the aqueous juice (6). Moreover, according to the invention, steps are provided of removing water (XV) from the vegetation water (9), preferably by evaporation, so as to obtain a polyphenol-enriched concentrate (11); and of mixing (XIX) the concentrate (11) with the base olive oil (8), so as to transfer said polyphenols from the former to the latter and to obtain a final polyphenol-enriched oil (12), along with an exhausted concentrate (11?).

  • Publication number: 20190130485
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and disseminating an interest rate swap volatility index based on an underlying interest rate swaption, and for creating and trading derivative investment products based on the interest rate swap volatility index, are disclosed. In one aspect, an interest rate swap volatility index based on an underlying interest rate swaption is calculated. The interest rate swap volatility index may be accessed by a processor of a trading platform and a standardized, exchange traded derivative may be created based on the calculated interest rate swap volatility index. Information associated with the interest rate swap volatility index derivative may then be transmitted for display.

  • Publication number: 20170287073
    Abstract: A computer system for handling missing or infrequent data used for calculating an index is described. The computer system uses the data approximation scheme for calculating a credit volatility index. The computer system includes a memory configured to store at least one program and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, in which the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to receive data regarding options and, when data for a complete input data set is missing after a predetermined period, retrieve or generate estimated data points needed to calculate the index. The data points may be for credit default swap index derivatives using data regarding options on credit default swap index derivatives. The processor may generate a credit volatility index and transmit data regarding the credit volatility index.
