Description: 

Researchers have shown that the useful life of olive oil improves with the contribution of extracts of marine microalgae rich in carotenoids, molecules with antioxidant capacity. These bioactive elements increase the protection of the oil against the rancidity or deterioration that the fatty acids suffer when they come into contact with the air.
