The Polyphenols Research Group had a prominent participation in the Olive Oil World Congress, held in Lisbon in July 2026, one of the leading international events dedicated to research, innovation, and sustainability in the olive oil sector.
Dr. Rosa M. Lamuela-Ravent贸s took part in the scientific session “Olive Oil and Health”, where she delivered the presentation “Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods Based on EVOO: Capsules, Polyphenol Extracts and Clinical Applications”. During her presentation, she highlighted the latest scientific evidence regarding the potential of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) polyphenols for the development of nutraceuticals and functional foods, as well as their possible clinical applications in health promotion and disease prevention.
The session brought together renowned international experts, including Dr. Ram贸n Estruch from IDIBAPS and INSA-UB; Prof. Miguel 脕ngel Mart铆nez-Gonz谩lez from the University of Navarra; researchers from CIBEROBN; and Dr. Ikram Khemiri from the University of Tunis El Manar, fostering a valuable exchange of knowledge on the effects of extra virgin olive oil and its bioactive compounds on human health.
The participation of the Polyphenols Research Group in this international forum reinforces its commitment to excellence in research on dietary polyphenols and its contribution to advancing scientific knowledge in the fields of nutrition, the Mediterranean diet, and health.
We thank the congress organizer, Ricardo Miguel谩帽ez, and the Spanish Olive Oil Interprofessional Organization for the opportunity to share our findings and strengthen collaborations with researchers from around the world.
