Valorization of Cork Using Subcritical Water.

ABSTRACT: Granulated cork was submitted to subcritical water extraction/hydrolysis in a semi-continuous reactor at temperatures in the range of 120-200 °C and with a constant pressure of 100 bar. The influence of temperature on the composition of the cork extracts obtained was assessed-namely, their content of carbohydrates and phenolics. The extraction yield increased with the temperature, and this was associated with the decrease in the dielectric constant of water and the increase in its ionic product. Extracts composed of up to 36% phenolics were obtained at temperatures of up to 120 °C, with an antioxidant activity only two times lower than that of pure gallic acid, but in low amounts. Assays at higher temperatures generated extracts richer in carbohydrates and with a phenolics content of ca. 20 wt.% in comparatively far higher amounts. Neither the amount of suberin nor its structure were affected by the subcritical water treatment.

Valorization of Yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) By-Product through Application of Subcritical Water Extraction.

Project description:In the present study, valorization of yarrow (Achillea millefolium) by-product from the filter tea industry was investigated through the application of subcritical water for the extraction of bioactive compounds. The influence of different process parameters (temperature 120-200 °C, extraction time 10-30 min, and HCl concentration in extraction solvent 0-1.5%) on extract quality in terms of content of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity was investigated. Optimal conditions of the extraction process (temperature 198 °C, extraction time 16.5 min, and without acidifer) were determined and, when applied, the most efficient exploitation of by-products is achieved, that is, attainment of extracts rich in total phenols and flavonoids and high antioxidant activity. In addition, by applying the high performance liquid chromatographic analysis, the content of chlorogenic acid was determined as well as the hydroxymethylfurfural content in obtained extracts. The results demonstrated that subcritical water can be successfully used for utilization of yarrow by-products for obtaining extracts rich in antioxidants.

Valorization of spent black tea by recovery of antioxidant polyphenolic compounds: Subcritical solvent extraction and microencapsulation.

Project description:Spent black tea (SBT), waste remaining after producing tea beverages, is potentially an underutilized source of antioxidant phenolic compounds. This study evaluated the integrated processes of subcritical solvent extraction of polyphenols from SBT followed by microencapsulation to improve the stability of obtained extract. Optimization of extraction conditions was carried out by response surface methodology for the best recovery of antioxidant phenolic compounds. Two variables [temperature (°C) and ethanol concentration (%)] were used to design the optimization model using central composite inscribed. Extraction temperature of 180°C and ethanol concentration of 71% were optimal for the highest yield of total polyphenols (126.89 mg gallic acid equiv./g SBT) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity (69.08 mg gallic acid equiv./g SBT). The extract was encapsulated using pectin, sodium caseinate, and a blend of these compounds (ratio 1:1) as wall materials by spray drying. The wall material significantly influenced (p < .05) encapsulation efficiency, particle size, morphology, thermal stability, crystallinity, and storage stability. The blend of wall materials produced an amorphous powder with the highest phenolic retention (94.28%) in the accelerated storage at 45°C for 40 days. The microcapsules prepared with sodium caseinate were smaller with lowest mean diameter and highest thermal stability than the other types of materials. Obtained microencapsulates have potential use in different food systems to enhance their antioxidant property.

Subcritical Water Hydrolysis of Peptides: Amino Acid Side-Chain Modifications.

Project description:Previously we have shown that subcritical water may be used as an alternative to enzymatic digestion in the proteolysis of proteins for bottom-up proteomics. Subcritical water hydrolysis of proteins was shown to result in protein sequence coverages greater than or equal to that obtained following digestion with trypsin; however, the percentage of peptide spectral matches for the samples treated with trypsin were consistently greater than for those treated with subcritical water. This observation suggests that in addition to cleavage of the peptide bond, subcritical water treatment results in other hydrolysis products, possibly due to modifications of amino acid side chains. Here, a model peptide comprising all common amino acid residues (VQSIKCADFLHYMENPTWGR) and two further model peptides (VCFQYMDRGDR and VQSIKADFLHYENPTWGR) were treated with subcritical water with the aim of probing any induced amino acid side-chain modifications. The hydrolysis products were analyzed by direct infusion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry, either collision-induced dissociation or electron transfer dissociation, and liquid chromatography collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry. The results show preferential oxidation of cysteine to sulfinic and sulfonic acid, and oxidation of methionine. In the absence of cysteine and methionine, oxidation of tryptophan was observed. In addition, water loss from aspartic acid and C-terminal amidation were observed in harsher subcritical water conditions. Graphical Abstract ?.

Amino Acid Profiles and Biopotentiality of Hydrolysates Obtained from Comb Penshell (Atrina pectinata) Viscera Using Subcritical Water Hydrolysis.

Project description:The recovery of amino acids and other important bioactive compounds from the comb penshell (Atrina pectinata) using subcritical water hydrolysis was performed. A wide range of extraction temperatures from 140 to 290 °C was used to evaluate the release of proteins and amino acids. The amount of crude protein was the highest (36.14 ± 1.39 mg bovine serum albumin/g) at 200 °C, whereas a further increase in temperature showed the degradation of the crude protein content. The highest amount of amino acids (74.80 mg/g) was at 230 °C, indicating that the temperature range of 170-230 °C is suitable for the extraction of protein-rich compounds using subcritical water hydrolysis. Molecular weights of the peptides obtained from comb penshell viscera decreased with the increasing temperature. SDS-PAGE revealed that the molecular weight of peptides present in the hydrolysates above the 200 °C extraction temperature was ≤ 1000 Da. Radical scavenging activities were analyzed to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates. A. pectinata hydrolysates also showed a particularly good antihypertensive activity, proving that this raw material can be an effective source of amino acids and marine bioactive peptides.

Organic Acid-Catalyzed Subcritical Water Hydrolysis of Immature Citrus unshiu Pomace.

Project description:Immature Citrus unshiu pomace (ICUP) was hydrolyzed under organic acid-catalyzed, subcritical water (SW) conditions to produce flavonoid monoglucosides (hesperetin-7-O-glycoside and prunin) and aglycons (hesperetin and naringenin) with high biological activities. The results of single-factor experiments showed that with 8 h of hydrolysis and an increasing citric acid concentration, the yield of flavonoid monoglucosides (hesperetin-7-O-glycoside and prunin) increased from 0 to 7% citric acid. Afterward, the hesperetin-7-O-glycoside yield remained constant (from 7 to 19% citric acid) while the pruning yield decreased with 19% of citric acid, whereas the aglycon yield increased continuously. In response surface methodology analysis, a citric acid concentration and hydrolysis duration of 13.34% and 7.94 h were predicted to produce the highest monoglucoside yield of 15.41 mg/g, while 18.48% citric acid and a 9.65 h hydrolysis duration produced the highest aglycon yield of 10.00 mg/g. The inhibitory activities of the SW hydrolysates against pancreatic lipase (PL) and xanthine oxidase (XO) were greatly affected by citric acid concentration and hydrolysis duration, respectively. PL and α-glucosidase inhibition rates of 88.2% and 62.7%, respectively, were achieved with 18.48% citric acid and an 8 h hydrolysis duration, compared to 72.8% for XO with 16% citric acid and 12 h of hydrolysis. This study confirms the potential of citric acid-catalyzed SW hydrolysis of ICUP for producing flavonoid monoglucosides and aglycons with enhanced enzyme inhibitory activities.

Subcritical Water Extraction of Valuable Metals from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The leaching of valuable metals (Co, Li, and Mn) from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) was studied using subcritical water extraction (SWE). Two types of leaching agents, hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ascorbic acid, were used, and the effects of acid concentration and temperature were investigated. Leaching efficiency of metals increased with increasing acid concentration and temperature. Ascorbic acid performed better than HCl, which was attributed to ascorbic acid's dual functions as an acidic leaching agent and a reducing agent that facilitates leaching reactions, while HCl mainly provides acidity. The chemical analysis of leaching residue by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that Co(III) oxide could be totally leached out in ascorbic acid but not in HCl. More than 95% of Co, Li, and Mn were leached out from spent LIBs' cathode powder by SWE using 0.2 M of ascorbic acid within 30 min at 100 °C, initial pressure of 10 bar, and solid-to-liquid ratio of 10 g/L. The application of SWE with a mild concentration of ascorbic acid at 100 °C could be an alternative process for the recovery of valuable metal in spent LIBs. The process has the advantages of rapid reaction rate and energy efficiency that may benefit development of a circular economy.

Extraction of Polysaccharide from <i>Dendrobium nobile</i> Lindl. by Subcritical Water Extraction.

Project description:Subcritical water extraction (SWE) uses hot compressed water as an effective solvent for both polar and nonpolar compounds and has been developed as an environmentally benign extraction technology for natural materials. Polysaccharides as one of the main ingredients in Dendrobium plants showed obvious biological activity. Thus, SWE of polysaccharides obtained from Dendrobium nobile Lindl. was investigated in this work. The response surface methodology (RSM) was combined with a Box-Behnken design to evaluate the influence that the three independent variables had on the response. The optimal extraction conditions (determined via RSM) were 129.83 °C extraction temperature, 16.71 min extraction time, and 1.12 MPa extraction pressure. The maximum predicted polysaccharide yield was 20.67%, which corresponded well with the experiential extraction (21.88%). The polysaccharides obtained from either the stirring extraction, refluxing extraction, ultrasound extraction, or SWE methods were compared, and the extraction processes were modeled. The molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, and antioxidative activities of the polysaccharides were analyzed.

A Simple Way for the Preparation of Natural Antioxidant Quercetin from Rutin by Subcritical Water.

Project description:Quercetin (QR) is a natural strong antioxidant of the plant origins. It is used for treating conditions of heart and blood vessels including "hardening of arteries" (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol, heart disease, circulation problems, preventing cancer, for treating chronic infections of the prostate, etc.The aim of this work was to development and study of an acid-free technique for the preparation of QR from rutin (RT) that requires no use of acids and toxic organic solvents.For the first time, the subcritical water that serves as a reactant and a solvent were used to obtain QR in good yields starting from RT. High-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry was used to determine the quantitative and qualitative compositions of the obtained products.For the first time, a new acid-free technique was used for the synthesis of natural antioxidant QR from an RT by subcritical water. That way requires no use of acids and/or toxic organic solvents. It has been shown that variation of only one parameter of the process (temperature of subcritical water) allows alteration to the composition of the hydrolysis products. The new method developed for the production of QR in subcritical water is environmentally friendly and faster than conventional hydrolysis methods that use acidic or enzymatic hydrolysis. The proposed technique has a potential for the future development of inexpensive and environmentally friendly technologies for the production of new pharmaceutical plant-based substances.

Rhytidome- and cork- type barks of holm oak, cork oak and their hybrids highlight processes leading to cork formation

Project description:The periderm is basic for land plants due to its protective role during radial growth, which is achieved by the polymers deposited in the cell walls. Despite the research on the topic has unravelled the role of several enzymes and transcription factors, many questions remain open, especially those regarding cell development. Here we use the outer bark of cork oak (cork), holm oak (rhytidome), and their natural hybrids’ to further understand the mechanisms underlying periderm development. Cork is an outstanding model as it consists of a thick and very homogeneous periderm produced by a permanent mother-cell layer (phellogen). Conversely, holm oak contains a more heterogeneous bark including several thin periderms mixed with phloem, also known as a rhytidome. The inclusion of hybrid samples showing rhytidome-type and cork-type barks is valuable to approach cork development, allowing an accurate identification of candidate genes and processes. The present study underscores that biotic stress and cell death signalling are enhanced in rhytidome-type barks while lipid metabolism and cell cycle are enriched in cork-type barks. Based on the DEGs most expressed related to development, we highlight that cell division, cell expansion, and cell differentiation could account for the differences found between cork and rhytidome-type barks.
