Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Phenolic Antioxidants from Potato Peels

Abstract

A response surface method was used to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction parameters such as extraction time (t) (min), solvent (methanol) concentration (S) (v/v) and microwave power level (MP) for extraction of antioxidants from potato peels. Max. total phenolics content of 3.94 mg g−1 dry weight (dw) was obtained at S of 67.33%, t of 15 min and a MP of 14.67%. For ascorbic acid (1.44 mg g−1 dw), caffeic acid (1.33 mg g−1 dw), ferulic acid (0.50 mg g−1 dw) max contents were obtained at S of 100%, t of 15 min, and MP of 10%, while the max chlorogenic acid content (1.35 mg g−1 dw) was obtained at S of 100%, t of 5 min, and MP of 10%. The radical scavenging activity of the extract was evaluated by using the DPPH assay and optimum antioxidant activity was obtained at S of 100%, t of 5 min, and MP of 10%.

Effect of Brazilian pepper ( Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) extracts on color and oxidative stability of sardine patties stored under refrigeration

“…The extraction of phenolic compounds of Brazilian pepper fruits through MAE was effective individually and at all levels of interaction, as reported by Singh et al (). The effects of the individual extraction factors (power, time, type of solvent, and solvent concentration) are shown in Figure .…”

Acid Liquefaction of Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas) Cultivars Peels – Pre-Screening of Antioxidant Activity/Total Phenolic and Sugar Contents

“…In fact, its skin contains up to ten times more antioxidants than in its pith ( Fig. 1) (Singh et al 2011;Wu et al 2012;Albishi et al 2013). The mixture of phenolic compounds identified in potatoes consists of free phenolic molecules and phenolic molecules that are esterified or bonded to other moieties.…”
