Red grape pomace (RGP) and onion solid wastes (OSW) were used as raw material to produce flavonoid-enriched extracts, using ultrasound-assisted solid-liquid extraction. The extraction medium used was composed of water and glycerol and under the conditions used the extraction of flavonoids from both materials was shown to obey first-order kinetics. Maximum diffusivities (D e ) values were 4.01ˆ10´1 1 and 2.35ˆ10´1 1 m 2¨s´1 , for RGP and OSW extraction, respectively, while the corresponding activation energies (E a ) were 14.00 and 15.23 kJ¨mol´1.
