Intensification of Biophenols Extraction Yield from Olive Pomace Using Innovative Green Technologies.

Olive pomace is the main by-product generated by the olive oil production process. Although toxic to the environment, olive pomace is an important source of natural antioxidants due to its high content of phenolic compounds. The aim of the current study is to maximize the extraction yields of the main phenolic compounds present in olive pomace using innovative green technologies.

Water as Green Solvent: Methods of Solubilisation and Extraction of Natural Products-Past, Present and Future Solutions.

Water is considered the greenest solvent. Nonetheless, the water solubility of natural products is still an incredibly challenging issue. Indeed, it is nearly impossible to solubilize or to extract many natural products properly using solely water due to their low solubility in this solvent.
