Onion by-products, a waste generated from fruit processing industry, is a potential source of phenolic compounds that are known for their anti-oxidative properties. The influence of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment on the bioactive compounds from onion by-products at different pulse voltage (PV); 2000, 4000, 6000Vand number of pulse (NP); 40, 50, 60 has been investigated. Response surface methodology, based on a Face-Centered Experimental Design (FCED) was used to determine optimal PEF treatment and optimize extraction yield, antioxidant strength, total phenolic compound (TPC),and quercetin content. The experimental data were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation and also profiled into the corresponding 3-D contour plots. Optimal extraction conditions were as follows:PV were 4102.97 V and and NP 51.43. Under these conditions, TPC, DPPH, FRAP,Quercetin and extraction yield were 48.912 ± 6 mg/kg, 50.366 ± 1 %, 465.414 ± 5 µmFe2/l, 31.761 ± 0.5 mg/100g and 88.107 ± 1% ; respectively and matching well with the predicted value. The results demonstrated that PEF could be a very effective method for continuous extraction of natural compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
