Reutilization of Mango Byproducts: Study of the Effect of Extraction Solvent and Temperature on Their Antioxidant Properties

Abstract

There are many antioxidant compounds in mango peel and seed, and they could be used as a natural and very inexpensive alternative to synthetic food additives. However, the conditions in which the antioxidants are extracted must be optimized. This work proves that conditions such as extraction solvent or temperature have a crucial impact on obtaining extracts rich in antioxidants from mango biowastes.

Evaluation of antioxidant efficacy of different fractions of Tagetes erecta L. Flowers

“…Significant differences of extractive yield among different solvents might be attributed to the varied polarity of the solvents used as well as the availability of different extractable phytoconstituents present in T. erecta flowers. Under the same time and temperature conditions, the solvent used and the chemical property of sample are the two most important factors (Dorta et al, 2012). The choice of solvent has a great influence on the extraction yield but it does not imply that the solvent which had maximum yield will show maximum activity under investigation (Anwar et al, 2013 23 ) during phenol oxidation.…”

Extraction yield, antioxidant activity andphenolics from grape, mango and peanut agro-industrial by-products

“…For this reason, studies on alternative natural antioxidants have been the subject of several studies. Recent studies have been conducted on the potential recovery of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in agroindustrial by-products of kinnow mandarin, litchi, peanut, grape and banana (BABBAR et al, 2011;MELO et al, 2015;OLDONI et al, 2016), guava (MELO et al, 2011) and mango (DORTA et al, 2012). By-products of the fruits-processing industry consist of non-used parts of raw materials, such as bark and seed of fruits, and it has been shown that they generally contain high amounts of phenolic compounds (MELO et al, 2011).…”

Study of an Extraction Process as the Pretreatment Step for Sugar Production from Acid Hydrolysis

“…The SE process was designed primarily for lipid extraction; and, has found application in the extraction of valuable bioactive compounds from various natural sources [5]. The use of SE remains prevalent in industry despite needing a long process time and large amounts of solvent [4].…”
