For this, fucoidans were extracted from Fucus vesiculosus (F.v.), F. serratus (F.s.), F. evanescens (F.e.), Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus (D.f.), Laminaria digitata (L.d.), and Saccharina latissima (S.l.) and compared…
A comparison of harvesting and drying methodologies on fatty acids composition of the green microalga Scenedesmus obliquus
Harvesting and drying processes are still obstacles in the microalgae production chain. In this study, a combination of different harvesting and drying methods for Scenedesmus obliquus was proposed. S. obliquus was cultivated in a pond raceway for 15 days until reaching stationary phase. The culture was separated by different harvesting methods (centrifugation and flocculation) and drying methods (freezing, freeze-drying and oven drying), each combination in triplicate. Flocculation…
Energy efficient dewatering of far offshore grown green macroalgae Ulva sp. biomass with pulsed electric fields and mechanical press
Offshore macroalgae biomass production is a promising, yet challenging, pathway to provide feedstock for biorefineries. In this work, a device and a process for dewatering offshore grown biomass of the green macroalgae Ulva sp. using high-voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) was developed. Ulva sp. was cultivated attached to fish cages 15 km offshore. Increasing the applied voltage from 250 V to 500 V and invested PEF energy from 9.3 ± 0.4 J g-1 FW to 54.6 ± 0.2Jg-1 FW increased the extracted…
Bioactivity, biocompatibility and phytochemical assessment of lilac sage, Salvia verticillata L. (Lamiaceae) – A plant rich in rosmarinic acid
The plants from genus Salvia, as one of the largest genus in Lamiaceae family, are frequently in use for various purposes, as foods, in cosmetic industry, or in traditional and official medicine. Salvia verticillata L. (liliac sage) is one of sidelined sage species with potential bioactivity, reported in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to acquire a phytochemical profile of the methanol extract obtained from S. verticillata aerial parts and to evaluate its antioxidant, antimicr…
Integral valorization of fruit waste from wine and cider industries
Agro-industrial waste disposal is becoming a key issue as a consequence of the increasing number of by-products generated. Within this context, this work proposes an integral, effective and sustainable use of biowaste from regional food industries as a drive towards cleaner production. Apple and grape waste from cider and wine industries was valorized by extracting bioactive compounds and pyrolyzing/gasifying the residual solid to obtain value-added chemical products, such as biochar…
Optimization of glucose yield from potato and sweet lime peel waste through different pre-treatment techniques along with enzyme assisted hydrolysis towards liquid biofuel
In this work, potato and sweet lime peels otherwise considered as waste were used as substrates for producing glucose. Different pre-treatment processes were carried out and the best conditions yielding higher amount of glucose concentration were further hydrolysed by enzyme. The pre-treated extract at 80 min in case of dilute acid hydrolysis with autoclaving conditions gave higher glucose concentration amongst all the pre-treatment processes for both the peels and hence considered for…
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of an anti-diabetic polysaccharide extracted from Gynostemma pentaphyllum herb.
This work aimed to determine the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of an anti-diabetic polysaccharide (GPP) extracted from Gynostemma pentaphyllum herb on diabetic mice. In vitro antioxidant assays showed that the DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion, and ABTS radical scavenging activities of GPP increased in a dose-dependent manner. Animal experiments demonstrated that GPP could efficiently reduce the body weight and fasting blood sugar of diabetic mice and decrease the…
Valorization of Euterpe edulis Mart. agroindustrial residues (pomace and seeds) as sources of unconventional starch and bioactive compounds.
Juçara fruit pomace is one of the most abundant byproducts of the pulp-making process, generally discarded despite their attractive nutritional content. In this sense, this study aimed to investigate the potential of juçara fruit pomace as an alternative source of starch and natural dyes. Starch extracted from juçara seed (JS) was characterized in approximate composition, crystallinity, thermal profile, morphology, and equilibrium moisture data. Total phenolic content, anthocyanins content…
Chemical Characterization and Antioxidant Properties of Ethanolic Extract and Its Fractions from Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Leaves.
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaf is a natural source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity and potential utility as an antioxidant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the polyphenol composition and antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts and their various solvent-partitioned fractions (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and aqueous fraction) from sweet potato leaves and petioles. Seven caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) derivatives and four flavonoids were detected in sweet…
Chemical composition, antioxidant capacity, toxicity and antibacterial activity of the essential oils from Acantholippia deserticola (Phil.) Moldenke (Rica rica) and Artemisia copa Phil. (Copa copa) extracted by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation
Acantholippia deserticola (Rica rica; RR) and Artemisia copa (Copa copa; CC) are herbs native to the Chilean highlands and have historically been used for medicinal purposes by the Atacameños people. The essential oils were analized by GC/MS, the principal compounds found in RR essential oil (RR_EO) were β-thujone (45%), β-linalool (16%), and eucalyptol (9%) and were butyric acid (38%), γ-terpinene (16%), and cis-2-menthenol (12%) in CC essential oil (CC_EO). The total polyphenol content…
Enhanced production of sulforaphane by exogenous glucoraphanin hydrolysis catalyzed by myrosinase extracted from Chinese flowering cabbage (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis)
Sulforaphane formation via endogenous route is known to be less effective. Exogenous hydrolysis of the sulforaphane precursor is therefore of interest. Here, myrosinase activity was first determined to identify a suitable source of the enzyme from selected Brassica vegetables. Extracted enzyme was then evaluated for its thermal stability to establish a condition for extraction. Chinese flowering cabbage was selected as the source of myrosinase; suitable extraction condition was at 40 °C for…
Influence of supercritical carbon dioxide treatment on the physicochemical properties of cellulose extracted from cassava pulp waste
This study aims at investigating the influence of supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) treatment on the physicochemical properties of cassava–based cellulose. The ScCO2 treatment was performed in a high-pressure vessel by exposing the cellulose to ScCO2 without a co-solvent at variable pressure (P) ranging from 8 MPa to 20 MPa for 60 min. The system temperature (T) was set to 40 °C, 60 °C and 80 °C. Subsequently, a field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the average…
Phytochemical and antioxidant studies of Cleome heratensis (Capparaceae) plant extracts
Background: In this research, different active phytochemical constituents present in Cleome heratensis (C. heratensis) from Capparaceae family were investigated. Moreover, the fatty acids present in the seed and aerial parts of the plant were identified by gas chromatography (GC) after esterification of the oil. Antioxidant activity of the aerial parts and seed of C. heratensis methanolic extract over 2,2′-diphenylpicryl-1-hydrazyl (DPPH) was investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis)…
Supercritical CO2 extraction and solvent-free rapid alternative bioepoxy production from spent hens

In this study, lipids were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at 50-70°C, 30-50MPa, and constant CO2 flow rate of 1L/min. The maximum yield of total lipid 37 ±0.4 % (w/w) with 91.4% recovery was obtained at 50MPa/70°C. Fatty acid compositional analysis was performed using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Helium ion microscopy (HIM)…
