Large segments of the Brazilian population still suffer from malnutrition and diet-related illnesses. In contrast, many native fruits have biodiversity are underexploited sources bioactive compounds unknown to consumers. The phytochemical composition nine underexplored was determined. Carotenoids anthocyanins were identified quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-PDA-MS/MS), phenolic iridoids flow injection...

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...

In this work, a process for the extraction and purification of carotenoids from fruit Bactris gasipaes was developed. Ethanolic aqueous solutions ionic liquids (ILs) surfactants were evaluated on these pigments. Thus, we developed an optimized sustainable downstream mediated by best solvent with further isolation recyclability IL used. The characterized not only in terms efficiency but also regarding its environmental impact. solvents as well high (maximum yield = 88.7 ± 0.9...

Sustainable extraction processes based on alternative solvents to recover bioactive compounds of different raw materials have been highlighted as excellent alternatives supply the needs society towards a bioeconomy strategy. Little is known about safety and biological effect extracted by these processes. In this work, carotenoids from Bactris gasipaes wastes obtained an IL-based process were investigated in terms safety, anti-inflammatory and, antioxidant activity high-fat-diet animal model...

There is a strong industrial interest in the development of greener and more sustainable processes based on use renewable resources, biorefinery marine such as macroalgae, stands major opportunity toward that end. In this work, Saccharina latissima (Linnaeus), brown macroalga, was used source pigments to develop an integrated platform able promote extraction separation chlorophyll fucoxanthin one single step. The process studied, its operational conditions were optimized with yields 4.93 ±...
