presents the proposed integrated process for OMW utilization along with the main mass balances. As it can be seen, 850 kg of OMW derived from about 1000 kg of olives can lead to about 110 kg of dry olive powder, or 500 kg of olive paste spread and 90 kg of encapsulated polyphenols. The OMW powder can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as in the preparation of pharmaceutical products; i.e. cholesterol lowering agents and anti-cancer medicine; food products or food additives; cosmetic products, such as creams, balms, shampoos, hair conditioners. The only remaining ‘‘waste stream’’ is clean water that can be reutilized in the olive mill plant; thus the proposed scheme ends up with ‘‘zero’’ waste.
