Phenol profiling and nutraceutical potential of Lycium spp. Leaf extracts obtained with ultrasound and microwave assisted techniques
2019
In recent years, agricultural and industrial residues have attracted a lot of interest in the recovery of phytochemicals used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. In this paper, a study on the recovery of phenol compounds from Lycium spp. leaves is presented. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) have been used with alcoholic and hydroalcoholic solvents. Methanolic UAE was the most successful technique for extracting phenols from Lycium leaves, and we used on leaves from L. barbarum and L. chinense cultivated in Italy. The extracts were then characterized as regards to the antioxidant properties by in vitro assays and the phenol profil…
Impact of ultrasound extraction parameters on the antioxidant properties of Moringa oleifera leaves
2020
Recently, much interest has been focused on Moringa oleifera L., a highly versatile and sustainable plant. In addition to its nutritional properties, numerous bioactive compounds have been identified in M. oleifera leaves, for which healthy properties have been reported. In the present research, the impact of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the recovery of the bioactive compounds from leaves was investigated. Firstly, an experimental design approach has been used to highlight the influence of some extraction parameters (solvent, solvent/dry leaves ratio, temperature, time) on phenol compound recovery and antioxidant activity. Solvent composition was the most influential factor
Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Fresh Apple Pomace by Different Non-Conventional Techniques
2021
Red Delicious apple pomace was produced at laboratory scale with a domestic blender and different non-conventional extraction techniques were performed to isolate phenolic compounds, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), ultraturrax extraction (UTE), accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and pulsed electric field (PEF) extraction pre-treatment. Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined by Folin–Ciocalteu assay. Phloridzin, the main phenolic compound in apples, was determined by chromatographic analysis Q-TOF-LC/MS. The results obtained with these techniques were compared in order to identify the most efficient method to recover polyphenols. The highest value of TPC (1062.92 ± 59.80…
Estudio de perfilación de metabolitos secundarios de extractos vegetales obtenidos mediante técnicas y estrategias no convencionales para el desarrol…
2022
En esta tesis doctoral se desarrolló en el entorno de la economía verde y el reciclaje de residuos alimentarios estudiando diferentes técnicas de extracción no convencionales. En primer lugar, se aislaron polifenoles de matrices complejas producto del desperdicio de alimentos, como son las hojas de Moringa oleifera, mediante extracción asistida por ultrasonidos (UAE). El enfoque de diseño experimental permitió optimizar las mejores condiciones de extracción (MeOH:H2O 50:50, v/v, proporcion 1:60 Sólido/Líquido (S/L), 60°C, 60 min) para obtener un contenido fenólico total (TPC) de 13,4 mg expresados como equivalentes de ácido gálico (GAE)/g de materia seca. Por lo tanto, la caracterización y …
