Olive or Olea europaea is originated from Mediterranean and cultivated in different regions of the world.
Each part of the plant has its own unique botanical description and gives a lot of benefits, either for
biological or common uses. In this research, the pharmacological properties of O. europaea were studied
via literature reviews. In the laboratory, the extraction of secondary metabolites from the dried leaves of O.
europaea was followed by the chromatographic investigation. The biological uses of O. europaea and
detection of the phenolics from olive leaves are highlighted. Specifically, oleuropein is the targeted
