Recovery of Protein from Industrial Hemp Waste (, L.) Using High-Pressure Processing and Ultrasound Technologies.

Hemp seeds are currently used mainly for oil extraction, generating waste that could be potentially exploited further as a source of proteins and other bioactives. This study aims to valorise hemp waste (, L.) from previous oil extraction as a source of protein by analysing the effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) pre-treatments (0-600 MPa; 4-8 min) combined with conventional or ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) methods on protein recovery/purity, amino acid composition, and protein structure.

Mechanistic and synergistic aspects of ultrasonics and hydrodynamic cavitation for food processing.

Compared with traditional methods, cavitation-based processing technology has received extensive attention for its low energy consumption and high processing efficiency. The cavitation phenomenon releases high energy due to the generation and collapse of bubbles, which improves the efficiency of various food processing. This review details the cavitation mechanism of ultrasonic cavitation (UC) and hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), factors affecting cavitation, the application of cavitation technology in food processing, and the application of cavitation technology in the extraction of various natural ingredients.

LC-ESI-QTOF/MS Characterization of Phenolic Compounds from Medicinal Plants (Hops and Juniper Berries) and Their Antioxidant Activity.

Hops ( L.) and juniper berries ( L.) are two important medicinal plants widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries due to their strong antioxidant capacity, which is attributed to the presence of polyphenols.
