Olive leaf is considered as a rich source in photochemical compounds such as oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, verbascoside, luteolinO-7-glucoside, apigenin-O-7-glucoside, gallic acid, rutein and ligstroside [1]. These compounds have pharmacologic and health-promoting properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiarrhythmic, antiallergic, analgesic, antimicrobial and anticancer. Phytochemical components are too sensitive to the surrounding conditions like light, temperature, and humidity. These parameters must be taken into consideration in packaging and storage operations of pharmaceuticals [2,3]. In the current study, we investigated the effect of light on the concentration of the total /individual phenolic contents and antioxidant activities for olive leaves ethanolic extracts. The decreasing in the concentration of phenolic contents in extracts of natural products was indicated by the decreasing in the ability to inhibit the activity of free radicals of DPPH solution. The examined appropriate parameters of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) method were applied to prepare ethanolic extracts.
