Cover Story: The aim of this research project was to recover polyphenols from olive oil mill wastewaters with potential application as nutraceutical and cosmeceutical ingredients. Olive mill wastewaters were treated by membrane processes (ultra-nanofiltration) to obtain purified water and polyphenols. The latter were assessed from a scratch assay in vitro, with time lapse microscopy, and demonstrated their ability to prompt reparation on human dermal cells to evaluate their bioactivity.
