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.

Combination of ohmic heating and subcritical water to recover amino acids from poultry slaughterhouse waste at a pilot-scale: new valorization technique.

Project description:Considering the global need for waste valorization and enhancing resource efficiency, this study investigated the possibility of recovering amino acids from underutilized chicken heads and legs as poultry by-products. In this sense, a new combined technique was developed based on ohmic heating (OH) and subcritical water (SCW), i.e., OHSCW. Besides, the effects of OH at different electric field strengths (5.71, 7.14, and 8.57 V/cm) and times (15, 30, and 45 min) were compared with the control treatment (SCW equipped with conventional heating, without OH) at a temperature of 140 °C. The results showed that the come-up time using OHSCW, at electric field strengths of 7.14 and 8.57 V/cm, was less than the control method by 17 and 75%, respectively. The lowest specific energy consumption was 403.68 kJ/kg which was 59.22% less than the control method. The highest energy efficiency was 93.88% at the electric field strength of 8.57 V/cm which was superior to that of the control treatment, i.e., 47.13%. The amounts of total amino acids recovered by OHSCW, at an electric field strength of 8.57 V/cm, were higher than the control method by 70.48%. OHSCW at an electric field strength of 5.71 V/cm yielded the maximum recovery efficiency of amino acids (79.40%) while recovery efficiency in control treatment was 15.48%. Besides, the results of Amino acid Analyzer (AAA) showed that the recovered amino acids include asparagine, serine, glutamine, glycine, threonine, histidine, cysteine, alanine, aspartic, tryptophan, arginine, tyrosine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, and phenylalanine.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13197-022-05556-4.

Exploring Bioactive Compounds in Brown Seaweeds Using Subcritical Water: A Comprehensive Analysis.

Project description:In this study, we characterized the bioactive properties of three important brown seaweed species, Sargassum thunbergii, Undaria pinnatifida, and Saccharina japonica, by subcritical water extraction (SWE), as these species are well known for their beneficial health effects. Their physiochemical properties, including potential antioxidant, antihypertensive, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and the antibacterial activity of the hydroysates were also analyzed. The highest total phlorotannin, total sugar content, and reducing sugar content in the S. thunbergii hydrolysates were 38.82 ± 0.17 mg PGE/g, 116.66 ± 0.19 mg glucose/g dry sample, and 53.27 ± 1.57 mg glucose/g dry sample, respectively. The highest ABTS+ and DPPH antioxidant activities were obtained in the S. japonica hydrolysates (124.77 ± 2.47 and 46.35 ± 0.01 mg Trolox equivalent/g, respectively) and the highest FRAP activity was obtained in the S. thunbergii hydrolysates (34.47 ± 0.49 mg Trolox equivalent/g seaweed). In addition, the seaweed extracts showed antihypertensive (≤59.77 ± 0.14%) and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (≤68.05 ± 1.15%), as well as activity against foodborne pathogens. The present findings provide evidence of the biological activity of brown seaweed extracts for potential application in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors.

Enhanced extraction of bioactive compounds from propolis (Apis mellifera L.) using subcritical water.

Project description:The bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities of propolis extracts were investigated using subcritical water extraction (SWE). SWE was performed by varying temperature (110-200 °C) and time (10-30 min). SWE using only water as solvent successfully to extracted bioactive compounds from propolis using high-purity glass thimbles. The concentrations of galangin (16.37 ± 0.61 mg/g), and chrysin (7.66 ± 0.64 mg/g) were maximal at 200 °C for 20 min, and 170 °C for 20 min, respectively. The antioxidative properties from propolis increased with the increasing extraction temperature and extraction time on SWE. The maximum yields of the total phenolics (226.37 ± 4.37 mg/g), flavonoids (70.28 ± 1.33 mg/g), and antioxidant activities (88.73 ± 0.58%, 98.86 ± 0.69%, and 858.89 ± 11.48 mg/g) were obtained at 200 °C for 20 min. Compared with using ethanol extraction (at 25 °C for 24 h, total phenolics = 176.28 ± 0.35, flavonoids = 56.41 ± 0.65, antioxidant activities = 72.74 ± 0.41%, 95.18 ± 0.11%, 619.51 ± 8.17 mg/g), all yields of SWE extracts obtained at 200 °C for 20 min were higher. SWE is suitable for a much faster and more efficient method extracting bioactive compounds from propolis compared to traditional extraction method.

Valorization of avocado seeds with antioxidant capacity using pressurized hot water extraction.

Project description:The pulp of avocado (Persea Americana) is widely consumed as the primary food source, while the seed is often discarded as food waste. Increased consumption of avocado would inevitably results in production of waste by-products such as avocado seeds, hence the ability to extract phytochemicals from such waste, and upcycling to potential nutraceutical products is of great interest. The overall aim of this study is to explore avocado seeds as potential functional food through the combined use of a green extraction method, chemical standardization and pattern recognition tools, and biological characterization assays. Specifically, this study utilized an organic solvent-free extraction method, pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) to extract phytochemicals from avocado seeds and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) was used to identify the phytochemicals present in the avocado seeds. Our results demonstrated that avocado seed extracts have antioxidant activity and inhibited oxidative stress-induced metabolomics changes in endothelial cells, suggesting that avocado seed extracts have vasoprotective actions.

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.

Immunostimulatory effects of a subcritical water extract of Ganoderma.

Project description:Ganoderma, a medicinal mushroom with various physiological activities, has been extensively investigated regarding its effectiveness. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of a subcritical water extract of Ganoderma (SWEG) on the immune system. The use of subcritical water with a higher temperature and pressure than hot water allows efficient elution of components from natural products. As an evaluation of the effectiveness of SWEG, a cell proliferation and a cell differentiation test were carried out using A-6 cells, a model of hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, an oral administration test in mice was conducted to examine the effects of SWEG on the number and function of immune cells. As a result, SWEG was revealed to promote both self-renewal and differentiation into immune cells such as T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in experiments with A-6 cells. These results were not obtained in experiments using hot water extract of Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma sinense. The oral administration test in mice demonstrated that SWEG increased hematopoietic precursor cells, immature B cells, and NK cells in the bone marrow, and T cells in the thymus. In addition, SWEG enhanced the immune functions in the spleen by promoting granzyme B expression and NK cell activity. SWEG was demonstrated to be a food material that acts on HSCs and regulates immunity in vivo.

Solubility and Decomposition of Organic Compounds in Subcritical Water.

Project description:In this article, studies on organic solubility and stability in subcritical water reported during the past 25 years have been reviewed. Data on the solubility and decomposition of organic compounds in subcritical water, a green solvent, are needed in environmental remediation, chemistry, chemical engineering, medicine, polymer, food, agriculture, and many other fields. For solubility studies, the experimental systems used to measure solubility, mathematical equations derived and applied for the modeling of the experimentally determined solubility data, and the correlation between the predicated and experimental data have been summarized and discussed. This paper also reviewed organic decomposition under subcritical water conditions. In general, the solubility of organics is significantly enhanced with increasing water temperature. Likewise, the percentage of organic decomposition also increases with higher temperature.

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 ᅟ.
