This study was conducted to examine the anti-hair loss mechanism of the supercritical fluid extraction-residues extract of by the regulation of cytokine production and hormone function in human dermal follicle papilla cells (HDFPCs). To investigate the modulatory effects on HO-induced cytokines, we measured transforming growth factor-beta and insulin-like growth factor 1 secreted from HDFPCs. To investigate the regulatory effects of supercritical extraction-residues extract of on dihydrotestosterone hormone production, cells were co-incubated with high concentrations of testosterone. The supercritical extraction-residues extract of significantly inhibited the secretion of transforming growth factor-beta but rescued insulin-like growth factor 1 in a dose-dependent manner. The supercritical extraction-residues extract of markedly reduced dihydrotestosterone production. These results suggest that the supercritical fluid extract residues of and their functional molecules are candidates for preventing human hair loss.

Almond shell (AS) represents about 33% of the almond fruit, being a cellulose-rich by-product. The use of greener methods for separating cellulose would contribute to better exploitation of this biomass. Subcritical water extraction (SWE) at 160 and 180 °C has been used as a previous treatment to purify cellulose of AS, followed by a bleaching step with hydrogen peroxide (8%) at pH 12.

A continuous chemical-free green approach was investigated for the comprehensive reutilization of all components in herbal extraction residues (HERs), taking Glycyrrhiza uralensis residue (GUR) as an example. The GUR structural changes induced by mechanical extrusion which improve the specific surface area and enzyme accessibility of GUR. With 3 % pretreated GUR loading of high-tolerance Penicillium oxalicum G2.

High-intensity ultrasonication is an emerging technology for plant protein isolation and modification. In this study, the potential of temperature-controlled ultrasonication to enhance the recovery of functional proteins from potato trimmings was assessed. Different ultrasound energy levels [2000-40,000 J/g fresh weight (FW)] were applied during protein extraction at pH 9.
