Sustainable Valorization of Coffee Silverskin Waste: Pressurized Liquid Extraction of Bioactive Compounds.

Coffee silverskin, a by-product of the coffee roasting industry, offers significant potential for valorization due to its bioactive compound content. This study optimized the Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) process for recovering phenolic compounds and caffeine from coffee silverskin. A factorial design identified the temperature and ethanol concentration as the key parameters influencing extraction yield, antioxidant capacity (TEAC), total phenolic content (TPC) and caffeine and phenolic acid contents.
