Apple is one of the most consumed fruits worldwide and has recognized nutritional properties. Besides being fresh, it raw material for several food products, whose production chain generates a considerable amount by-products that currently have an underestimated use. These are rich source chemical compounds with potential applications. Therefore, new ambitious platforms focused on reusing needed, targeting process achieves well-defined products mitigates waste generation. This review covers...
A PLE-SPE extraction process for the anthocyanins from Jabuticaba wastes was developed using an eutectic mixture, this acting simultaneously as solvent and stabilizing agent.
We propose an innovative approach to address the pressing need for efficient and transparent evaluation techniques assess extraction processes’ sustainability.
An innovative biorefinery approach was developed to obtain multiple high-value compounds from a marine bacterium. Bio-based solvents as sustainable alternatives develop more downstream processes.
The engineering of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) offers a way to turn windows into energy-generating units while maintaining transparency. Through UV/blue down-shifting materials the red/near-infrared (NIR) spectral region, the...
Propolis is highly diverse and has various health benefits for humans. However, standardizing propolis-based products use in the pharmaceutical food industries challenging. Efficient extraction processes are essential to maximize their biological potential. Ethanol commonly used as a solvent but several drawbacks, such residual flavor limitations some individuals. Water an alternative, it not effective ethanol. In this context, new strategies being explored find alternative ethanol improve...
Cholinergic signalling mediated by the activation of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors has been described in literature as a classic important pathway regulation inflammatory response. Recent research investigated role acetylcholine, physiological agonist these receptors, control energy homeostasis at central level. Studies have shown that mice do not express acetylcholine brain regions regulating present with excessive weight gain hyperphagia. However, it yet well-described which...
Propolis is a bee product with complex chemical composition formed by several species from different geographical origins. The propolis requires an accurate and reproducible characterization of samples to standardize the quality material sold consumers. This work developed ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography photodiode array detector method analyze phenolic compounds based on two key biomarkers, Artepillin C p-Coumaric acid. choice was made due complexity sample presence compounds....
The study is aimed at investigating if PUFA supplementation could prevent the effects of a short-term HFD on α7nAChR expression and severity sepsis. Swiss mice were used for in vivo experiments. For vitro experiments, we microglia cell line (BV-2) hepatoma (Hepa-1c1c7) derived from mice. animals either fed standard chow, (60%), or given with omega-3 fatty acid (2 g/kg 4 bw) 17 days, followed by HFD. Endotoxemia was induced an intraperitoneal (i.p.) lipopolysaccharide injection (LPS, 5 12...
A techno-economic analysis of a novel eutectic solvent-based platform useful to recover anthocyanins from grape pomace was performed. The study addressed the economic impact conventional drying methods and explored implications purification strategies separate extract solvent. This exemplified by employing solid-phase extraction (SPE) with C18-based adsorbent material. An alternative low-energy demanding approach using SiO2 particles also assessed for profitability as freeze-drying...
This study presents a zero-waste biorefinery for pomegranate waste, extracting anthocyanins and ellagic acid with green solvents converting leftovers to biochar.
