A review of sustainable and intensified techniques for extraction of food and natural products
International audience; This review presents innovative extraction techniques and their role in promoting sustainable ingredients forthe food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These techniques (such as microwave, ultrasound, pulseelectricfield, instant controlled pressure drop, sub- and super-criticalfluid processing, extrusion, mechano-chemistry, high pressure, and ohmic, UV and IR heating) use or produce less solvent, energy, and hazards.This review will provide the necessary theoretical background and some details about green extractiontechniques, their mechanisms, some applications, and environmental impacts. We will pay special attentionto the strategies and present them as succ…
Phenolic and Antioxidant Analysis of Olive Leaves Extracts (Olea europaea L.) Obtained by High Voltage Electrical Discharges (HVED)
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate high voltage electrical discharges (HVED) as a green technology, in order to establish the effectiveness of phenolic extraction from olive leaves against conventional extraction (CE). HVED parameters included different green solvents (water, ethanol), treatment times (3 and 9 min), gases (nitrogen, argon), and voltages (15, 20, 25 kV). Methods: Phenolic compounds were characterized by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS), while antioxidant potency (total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity) were monitored spectrophotometrically. Data for Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) spectroscopy, colorimetry…
