Carotenoids are a group of pigments that play significant role in human health due to their antioxidant properties. This emphasises the importance extraction using sustainable solvents as alternatives hazardous solvents. study aimed select and optimise most promising deep eutectic solvent (DES) for carotenoid from orange peels by considering parameters such efficiency, stability, physicochemical COSMOtherm software was used screen 68 hydrophobic hydrophilic DES. The experimental results...
Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) may be considered ‘designer solvents’ due to their numerous structural variations and the possibility of tailoring physicochemical properties. Prior industrial application, characterization NADES is essential, including determination properties, cytotoxicity, antioxidative activity. The most important properties eight prepared (choline chloride:malic acid, proline:malic choline chloride:proline:malic betaine:malic malic acid:glucose,...
Consumer interest in natural products with advantageous biological impacts on their health has increased recent years. Therefore, academic and industrial communities have concentrated research developing sustainable techniques for extracting bioactive compounds from resources. In the present study, extracts rich orange peel were obtained using novel hydrophilic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Bioactive such as carotenoids polyphenols, stability, antioxidant capacity, permeability,...
Abstract During the last decade, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional organic solvents, from both environmental and technological perspectives. The number of structural combinations encompassed by DESs is tremendous; thus, it possible design an optimal DES for each specific enzymatic reaction system. In (bio)catalytic processes, can serve solvent/co‐solvent, extractive reagent product, pretreatment solvent biomass. To date, hydrolases are most...
The aim of this work was to develop a simple and easy-to-apply model predict the pH values deep eutectic solvents (DESs) over wide range that can be used in daily work. For purpose, 38 different DESs were measured (ranging from 0.36 9.31) mathematically interpreted. To mathematical models, first numerically described using σ profiles generated with COSMOtherm software. After DESs’ description, following models used: (i) multiple linear regression (MLR), (ii) piecewise (PLR), (iii) artificial...
In the past few years, research efforts have focused on plant exploitation for deriving some valuable compounds. Extraction has been usually performed using petrochemical and volatile organic solvents, but nowadays, increased recognition of environmental pollution prompted utilization green solvents as alternatives. Therefore, aim present study was to exploit deep eutectic (DES) (choline chloride: citric acid choline glucose) extracting phenolic antioxidants from grapes. Investigation...
The aim of this work is to develop an industrially suitable process for the sustainable waste disposal in wine production. proposed involves development environmentally friendly method isolation biologically active compounds from Graševina grape pomace according green extraction principles, order obtain a ready-to-use extract. In process, deep eutectic solvents (DES) were used as solvents. Aiming save time selecting optimal DES that would provide most efficient polyphenols extraction,...
Tracking osmolyte patterns in biological contexts can help design novel multicomponent deep eutectic systems, which mimic the nuanced microenvironment of biomacromolecules operating within these contexts.
RSM and ANN were evaluated for prediction of physical chemical properties industrial hemp extracts prepared using MAE. The effects liquid to solid ratio, ethanol content, extraction time, temperature, microwave power analyzed. had better performance both properties. Optimal conditions based on L/S = 30 mL/g, v/v 25%, t 25 min, T 45°C P 600 W. Under those conditions, dynamic the process was analyzed six kinetic models showed that rate reached constant value after approximately 15 min.
This research paper presents an advanced exploration into the utilization of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) combined with natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) to achieve higher concentrations polyphenols from Graševina grape pomace. Focusing on optimizing parameters maximize yield polyphenols, this study evaluates their potential industrial applications, particularly within food and cosmetics sectors. The effectiveness betaine/glucose (BGlc) NADESs in producing stable, ready-to-use...
DES choline chloride:urea effectively stabilises NAD coenzyme up to 50 days at room temperature. Consequently, this solvent could be used minimise degradation during storage, assays, and enzyme-catalysed oxidoreductive reactions.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to develop artificial neural network (ANNs) models for prediction physical (total dissolved solids, extraction yield) and chemical polyphenolic content, antioxidant activity) properties industrial hemp extracts, prepared by two different methods (solid‐liquid microwave‐assisted extraction) based on combined UV‐VIS‐NIR spectra. Spectral data were gathered 46 samples per method. Results PCA analysis ensured efficient separation the amount ethanol...
