Enhanced “Greener” and Sustainable Ultrasonic Extraction of Bioactive Components from Waste Wild Apple (Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.) Fruit Dust: The Impact of Pretreatment with Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents
This research demonstrates enhanced extraction of bioactive components using ultrasonic techniques and NADES, suggesting its viability for eco-friendly production.
Key Points
The study found that using aqueous propylene glycol with Reline NADES improved extraction efficiency.
High total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) values were achieved through this method.
Ultrasonic extraction using green solvents not only enhances yields but also reduces environmental impact.
Analysis showed the extracts contained valuable bioactive compounds suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.
