During the last years, olive industry wastes are considered as a potential source of extracts with antioxidant properties rich in polyphenols. The recovery of these added-value compounds can be interesting both for their beneficial properties and from an environmental point of view and several studies have been performed for the optimization...

Olive pomace is one of the most interesting wastes containing bioactive compounds; the extraction of polyphenols can represent an innovative solution for the reduction of the environmental hazard of this solid and the simultaneous recovery of high-added value compounds. In this study, Supercritical Assisted Atomization (SAA) was employed for...

The valorisation and management of agri-food waste are currently hot investigation topics which probe the recovery of valuable compounds, such as polyphenols. In this study, high-pressure/high-temperature extraction (HPTE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) have been used to study the recovery of phenolic compounds from grape marc and...

In this work the effect of the addition of aqueous phenolic extracts, from olive and grape pomace, to fermentation media of the skim milk was investigated with the aim to produce a novel functional product. Additionally, Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was assessed as a rapid and alternative method to traditional identification methods for the...

Polysaccharide-based nanostructured polymeric microcapsules were fabricated by the electrostatic layerby-layer self-assembly technique and used to encapsulate mixtures of four different polyphenols in order to achieve their controlled release. The real-time fabrication of the dextran/chitosan multilayer was monitored by quartz crystal...

The influence of extraction temperature (90-180C), solvent concentration (36-90% ethanol) and time (30-90min) on extractability of phenolic compounds from barley grains and on antiradical power of extracts was examined. RSM was used to design and optimize the processing parameters. Experimental results of total phenolic contents, total...

Phenolic compounds found in Arthrospira platensis has been considered as a source of antioxidant with several therapeutic properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of growth conditions on chemical composition and added value compounds production from A. platensis. To such a purpose, the cyanobacterium has been grown in...

Corn silage refers to stalks, leaves and cobs of maize plants that remain in fields after the corn harvest. Commonly it is used as a cattle feed, but recently it has been more often used together with cattle manure in biofuel production in anaerobic co-digestion. In this work high-pressure and temperature extraction of phenolic compounds from...

Apigenin is an antioxidant that has shown a preventive activity against different cancer and cardiovascular disorders. In this study, we encapsulate apigenin with liposome to tackle the issue of its poor bioavailability and low stability. Apigenin loaded liposomes are fabricated with food-grade rapeseed lecithin in an aqueous medium in absence...
