Table 1.

Box–Behnken design with sonotrode parameters and values for dependent variables obtained (oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and total compounds) quantified by HPLC–MS ‘Koroneiki’ in olive leaves. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation in mg g−1 dry matter of olive leaves. Different letters in the same column indicate significantly different values (p < 0.05).
