Olive oil wastewater samples were tested for their composition in simple phenolic compounds as a function of the extraction system (two- and three-phase centrifugation systems). The results revealed that the three-phase system had a stronger antioxidant activity and a higher total phenolic content than the two-phase system. The relationship between antioxidant values and total phenolic content is also discussed.
