Residues of olive fruit (ROF) after the extraction of oils are an increasing source of industrial waste, because olive oil is becoming more popular as a healthy food. It has been reported that olives have some polyphenols that have an antioxidation capability. On the other hand, excess oxidative stress disrupts epidermal barrier function. This study was conducted to determine whether ROF could be utilized as an antioxidant source to reduce industrial wastes and to identify possible active materials to maintain healthy skin. Olive fruits are categorized into two groups depending on the time of harvest, young fruit (YF) and mature fruit (MF). Thus, we examined the antioxidant potentials of extracts from YF and from MF to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) from biological and chemical aspects. HaCaT keratinocytes cultured with extracts of YF or MF had reduced levels of intracellular ROS in spite of the relatively low chemical capability against ROS scavenging. The biological effects of the YF extract were superior to those of the MF extract. The YF extract showed effective reductions of intracellular ROS and carbonylated proteins that were elevated by the stress-related hormone cortisol. In addition, the YF extract reinforced the intracellular antioxidation capability through the activation of Nrf2 signaling. Taken together, the YF extract was an effective source to reinforce the intracellular antioxidation capability. We conclude from these results that utilizing ROF would lead to the reduction of industrial wastes and would supply active materials to maintain healthy skin.
