Supercritical CO Fluid Extraction and Microencapsulation of Oil from Anchovy () By-Products.

Research Background: Fish by-products are discarded as waste, which has a significant impact on the environment. They have no economic value, but there are many opportunities to turn them into high value products. Due to significant quantities generated internationally and the continuous expansion of the market for ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids as nutraceuticals, innovative technological approaches are needed to transform this waste into marketable products with added value, while limiting the risk of environmental pollution.

CO supercritical extraction and microencapsulation of oleoresins from rosehip fruits for getting powders with multiple applications.

The supercritical fluids extraction (SFE) was used to extract the oleoresins from rosehip, followed by an in-depth phytochemical analysis and the development of two design-customized powders for different food and pharmaceutical applications. The SFE experiments allowed obtaining an oleoresins extraction yield of 11.85%.

Whey Proteins Isolate-Based Biopolymeric Combinations to Microencapsulate Supercritical Fluid Extracted Oleoresins from Sea Buckthorn Pomace.

In this study, high-value, carotenoid-rich oleoresin obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO) extraction was used to develop five variants of microencapsulated delivery system, based on whey proteins isolate (WPI), in combination with inulin (I), pectin (P) or lactose (L). The WPI:I and WPI:L variants were also obtained by conjugation via Maillard reaction. The microencapsulation of the SFE-CO sea buckthorn pomace oleoresin was performed by emulsion, complex coacervation and freeze-drying, which allowed for the obtaining of five powders, with different phytochemicals profile.

CO Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Oleoresins from Sea Buckthorn Pomace: Evidence of Advanced Bioactive Profile and Selected Functionality.

The processing of sea buckthorn generates a significant amount of pomace, seeds and skin considered valuable sources of health-promoting macromolecules, such as carotenoids, pectin, flavonoids, phytosterols, polyunsaturated fatty acids and tocopherols. In this study, the bioactives from sea buckthorn pomace (SBP) were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO), at different temperatures and pressures, allowing for obtaining four fractions according to separators (S40 and S45). The highest carotenoid content of 396.

Supercritical CO Extraction and Microencapsulation of Lycopene-Enriched Oleoresins from Tomato Peels: Evidence on Antiproliferative and Cytocompatibility Activities.

Tomato peels are used as a valuable material to extract lycopene-rich oleoresins by supercritical CO extraction. The extraction involves continuous circling of CO to the extractor after removing the solute in the separators, S40 and S45, where the solvent power of the CO is reduced by reducing pressure down to 20 MPa in S40 and 5 MPa in S45, respectively, leading to two extracts. Lycopene is found to be the major compound, representing 93% and 76% of the total carotenoids in S40 and S45 extracts, respectively.

Bovine β-lactoglobulin peptides as novel carriers for flavonoids extracted with supercritical fluids from yellow onion skins.

Our study describes in detail the binding mechanism between the main flavonoids that were extracted from onion skins by supercritical CO and peptides from whey proteins, from the perspective of obtaining multifunctional ingredients, with health-promoting benefits. The supercritical CO extract had 202.31 ± 11.

Fostering Lavender as a Source for Valuable Bioactives for Food and Pharmaceutical Applications through Extraction and Microencapsulation.

Lavender flowers were used in this study as a source of phytochemicals as naturally occurring antioxidants. Two different extraction techniques were applied, such as ultrasound-assisted (UAE) and supercritical fluids (SCE) methods. The comparative evaluation of the phytochemicals profile evidenced a higher content of chlorophyll and of 5.

Microencapsulation of Red Grape Juice by Freeze Drying and Application in Jelly Formulation.

The aim of this work is to obtain new food products enriched with bioactive compounds from concentrated grape juice microencapsulated by freeze drying using a whey protein isolate-chitosan system. The obtained powder showed an encapsulation efficiency of (86.1±4.

Cross-Linked Microencapsulation of CO Supercritical Extracted Oleoresins from Sea Buckthorn: Evidence of Targeted Functionality and Stability.

Oleoresin supercritical extracts from sea buckthorn were microencapsulated in whey proteins isolate and casein, in two states: native (N) and cross-linked mediated by transglutaminase (TG). The encapsulation efficiency showed values higher than 92% for total carotenoids and lycopene. Phytochemicals content was 352.

Transglutaminase mediated microencapsulation of sea buckthorn supercritical CO extract in whey protein isolate and valorization in highly value added food products.

Sea buckthorn carotenoids extracted using CO supercritical fluids method were encapsulated within whey proteins isolate by transglutaminase (TG) mediated crosslinking reaction, coacervation and freeze drying. The encapsulation efficiency was 36.23 ± 1.
