Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction and Encapsulation of Antioxidants from Orange Peels in Alginate-Chitosan Microparticles.

The recovery of bioactive compounds from waste and modification of their properties by encapsulation are the main challenges today. In this study, the ultrasound-assisted extraction of antioxidants from orange peels was optimized using a central composite design. Ethanol (50%, /) was the solvent of choice for their extraction.

Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Black Locust () Flowers and Comparison with Conventional Methods.

The aim of this study was to optimize the ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from black locust () flowers using central composite design. The ethanol concentration (33-67%), extraction temperature (33-67 °C), and extraction time (17-33 min) were analyzed as the factors that impact the total phenolic content. The liquid-to-solid ratio of 10 cm g was the same during extractions.

Temperature dependence of delayed fluorescence induction curve transients.

The temperature dependence of delayed millisecond fluorescence (DF) induction curve transients was investigated. The transients were obtained by keeping intact maize leaf segments in the dark for 30 to 300 s before illumination. The temperature dependence of DF induction revealed abrupt changes in activation energy of the recombination process.
