The objective of this research was to optimize the natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) extraction process from sour cherry kernels ( L.). For polyphenol isolation, conventional solid-liquid extraction was employed using different concentrations of ethanol (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 96%), as well as the innovative NADES extraction technique.

This study aims to compare the suitability of three extraction techniques (cold pressing, Soxhlet and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)) to isolate oil from cherry seeds. Oils were examined in terms of extraction yield, fatty acids profile, tocopherols yield and antioxidant activity. Additionally, influence of SFE parameters was evaluated using one-factor-at-a-time design with pressure (200−350 bar), temperature (40−70 °C), flow rate (0.

This study was primarily focused on the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of cherry seed oil and the optimization of the process using sequential extraction kinetics modeling and artificial neural networks (ANN). The SFE study was organized according to Box-Behnken design of experiment, with additional runs. Pressure, temperature and flow rate were chosen as independent variables.

The aim of this study was to valorize the oil recovery from red and white grape seeds ( L.) that remains as by-product after the winemaking process. Oils were extracted by modern techniques, ultrasound assisted (UAE), microwave assisted (MAE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and compared to the Soxhlet extraction (SE).

The purpose of this study was to estimate the electrochemical behavior and biocompatibility of ultrafine-grained (UFG) commercially pure titanium (CPTi) and Ti-13Nb-13Zr (TNZ) alloy obtained by high-pressure torsion process. Electrochemical behavior of materials in artificial saliva at 37°C was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the obtained results indicated that UFG TNZ alloy showed corrosion current density (j  = 53 ± 5 nA cm ) which was 2 times lower compared to coarse-grained (CG) TNZ alloy (j  = 110 ± 12 nA cm ) and higher corrosion resistance, while UFG CPTi and CPTi showed approximately the same corrosion rate (mean j ∼ 38-40 nA cm ). Static immersion test in artificial saliva, performed in this study, showed that the released ion concentrations from UFG materials were more than 10 times lower than the permitted concentration (the highest released Ti ion concentration from UFG CPTi and UFG TNZ alloy was 1.
