Reduction of food waste provides important environmental and economic benefits. Valorization by-products into edible materials is one the most interesting strategies in this field. However, wastes can contain chemical contaminants or potential pathogens that may endanger consumers' health. Therefore, assuring quality safety these utmost importance to take advantage valorization strategy. In review, evaluation valorized intended for human animal consumption has been revised critically...
In this work, a review about the applicability of eutectic solvents, mainly deep solvents (DES) and natural (NADES), for extraction bioactive compounds from products has been carried out. These alternative have shown not only to high yields but also be environmentally friendly, exhibiting very low or almost no toxicity, compared conventional organic solvents. The last trends main methods that most widely used in studies using these emerging reviewed, as well varied sources which they used,...

Abstract Coenzyme Q (Q) is a key lipid electron transporter, but several aspects of its biosynthesis and redox homeostasis remain undefined. Various flavoproteins reduce ubiquinone (oxidized form Q) to ubiquinol (QH 2 ); however, in eukaryotes, only oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex III (CIII) oxidizes QH Q. The mechanism action CIII still debated. Herein, we show that the reductase electron-transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) essential for activity skeletal muscle. We...
Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) are eco-friendly solvents with considerable potential for extracting bioactive compounds. In this study, we aimed to extract phenolic compounds from Hass avocado residues (epicarp and seed) using NADES in combination ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) pressurized liquid (PLE) as advanced processes. Ten eutectic mixtures, consisting of choline chloride (ChCl) or betaine hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA), well fructose (Fru), glucose, lactic acid (Lac),...
Tetraselmis chuii is an EFSA-approved novel food and dietary supplement with increasing use in nutraceutical production worldwide. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of bioactive compounds extracted from T. using green biobased solvents (ethyl acetate, AcOEt, cyclopentyl methyl ether, CPME) under pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) conditions supercritical fluid (SFE). Response surface optimization was used to effect temperature solvent composition on properties PLE...
<italic>Citrus sinensis</italic> (orange) by-products represent one of the most abundant citric residues from orange juice industrial production, and are a promising source health-promoting compounds like terpenes.
Plants and agri-food by-products represent a wide renewable source of bioactive compounds with neuroprotective properties. In this research, various green extraction techniques were employed to recover molecules from Kalanchoe daigremontiana (kalanchoe), epicarp Cyphomandra betacea (tamarillo), cooperage woods Robinia pseudoacacia (acacia) Nothofagus pumilio (lenga), as well reference extract (positive control) Rosmarinus officinalis L . (rosemary). The capacity these plant extracts was...
Abstract Thermal processing is the most important and popular domestic cooking method. More than 30 heterocyclic aromatic amines have been identified in cooked meat using various methods. This review highlights preventive potential mechanism of dietary polyphenols on formation amines. Tea, coffee, fruits, vegetable, spice extracts rich exerted significant inhibition against Some polyphenols, such as naringenin epigallocatechin 3‐O‐gallate, can actively participate into food chemistry...
Ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds and carotenoids were extracted from acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) by-products using gas-expanded liquids (GXLs) based on carbon dioxide expanded ethanol at 40 °C 7 MPa. The generated in the processing of acerola: bagasse (seed peel) non-pomace (from juice clarification step), studied separately. overall extraction yields obtained 3.8 12.9 g/100 g for non-pomace, respectively. acid was not detected extract, while 158.2 mg/gextract found 193.7 mg/g...

The neuroprotective potential of 32 natural extracts obtained from olive oil by-products was investigated. online coupling supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and dynamic adsorption/desorption allowed the selective enrichment leaves in different terpenoids’ families. Seven commercial adsorbents based on silica gel, zeolite, aluminum oxide, sea sand were used with SFE at three times to evaluate their selectivity towards terpene Collected fractions analyzed by gas chromatography coupled...
Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) conditions were optimized to improve the recovery of orange (Citrus sinensis) by-products terpenoids. The neuroprotective potential PLE extracts tested against a set in-vitro assay (antioxidant (ABTS), reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS)) as well enzymatic tests (acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and lipoxygenase (LOX)). Gas chromatography coupled high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-q-TOF-MS) analysis revealed higher...
