Valorization of Soybean Residue (Okara) by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction: Compositional, Physicochemical, and Functional Properties of Oil and Defatted Powder.

In the context of food waste valorization, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the complete valorization of soybean residue (okara) through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCE). Okara oil (OKO) was separated from full-fat powder (FFP) using SCE with and without ethanol (EtOH) as a cosolvent. The kinetics of extraction, chemical composition, and physicochemical, functional, and health-promoting properties of OKO and defatted powder (DFP) were determined.

Improvement in the Sequential Extraction of Phycobiliproteins from Using Green Technologies.

(commercially known as ) is an excellent source of phycobiliproteins, especially C-phycocyanin. Phycobiliproteins are significant bioactive compounds with useful biological applications. The extraction process plays a significant role in downstream microalga production and utilisation.

Mutagenesis for Protein and C-Phycocyanin Improvement and Proteomics Approaches.

is known for its use as a food supplement, with reported therapeutic properties including antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. is also an excellent source of proteins and C-phycocyanin. The latter is a light-harvesting pigment-protein complex in cyanobacteria, located on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane and comprising 40 to 60% of the total soluble protein in cells.

Simple, selective, and rapid quantification of 1-deoxynojirimycin in mulberry leaf products by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection.

1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) occurs in mulberry and other plants and is a highly potent glycosidase inhibitor reported to suppress blood glucose levels, thus preventing diabetes. Derivatization is required for quantification of DNJ upon use of spectral detection methods. Because of this difficulty, the DNJ contents of mulberry-based food products are rarely stated, even if DNJ is their active component.
