The olive oil industry produces large volumes of wastes, which are also potential sources bioactive compounds by developing healthy and/or functional foods. Extraction phenolic from the residues is mainly carried out with solvents. However, there currently a growing public awareness about use organic solvents in food processing, has pointed need for application clean technologies such as pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). Therefore, aim this research was to optimize compound pomace PLE,...
Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) is a clean and environmentally friendly alternative for the recovery of bioactive compounds from fruit by-products. Herein we focused on PLE pomegranate peel using combination pressurized water ethanol. The main aim was to determine optimal conditions, i.e., ethanol percentage process temperature, obtain extract (PPE) with maximum total phenolic content (TPC), punicalagin content, antimicrobial activity (AMA). experimental design conducted central...
The aim of this work is to develop different encapsulated propolis ingredients by spray-drying and evaluate their bioaccessibility using simulated in vitro digestion. To achieve these goals, first, microparticles a extract with inulin as the coating polymer were prepared under optimal conditions previously determined. Then, fraction was replaced other encapsulating agents, namely sodium alginate, pectin, chitosan, obtain controlled release properties gastrointestinal tract. analysis phenolic...
Phenolic compounds present in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) could be retained its byproducts during processing. Among them, hydroxytyrosol and derivatives deserve special attention due to their health benefits recognized by The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In the research, presence of these filter cake byproduct was studied combining pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) high-performance chromatography coupled time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-TOF-MS). applied optimum parameters...
