    The influence of drying temperature (60 °C, 70 °C, 80 °C) and fluid-bed drying time (90 min, 135 min, 180 min) on the extraction yield of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of extracts were investigated. The content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from wet grape pomace (WGP) were 73.83 mgGAE gdb–1, 42.24 mgCE gdb–1, 30.53 mg gdb–1, and 0.35 ginhDPPH gdb–1 for total phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoids (TF), total extractible proanthocyanidins (TPA), and antioxidant activity (AA), respectively. The applied drying conditions caused the reduction of content of all phenolic compounds down to 13.2 %, 43.1 %, 15.3 % and 21.0 % for TPC, TPA, TF and AA, respectively. The most abundant individual phenolic compound in grape pomace extracts was catechin (5.14 – 8.52 mg gdb–1). The highest content of observed compounds was retained when applying drying temperature below 70 °C for 90 minutes

    Nel presente lavoro \ue8 stata confermata la capacit\ue0 di A. platensis di crescere in presenza di intenso stress ossidativo indotto da UV e TiO2. L\u2019induzione di stress ossidativo, oltre a modificare la composizione fenolica, induce il cianobatterio a rilasciare polifenoli nelterreno di crescita.Le prove di coagulazione delle proteine ed estrazione con acetato di etile dell\u2019estratto portano ad un campione contenente una frazione fenolica pi\uf9 concentrata

    Optimization of lipase production by solid-state fermentation of olive pomace: from flask to laboratory-scale packed-bed bioreactor

    Get PDF
    Lipases are versatile catalysts with many applications and can be produced by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using agro-industrial wastes. The aim of this work was to maximize the production of Aspergillus ibericus lipase under SSF of olive pomace (OP) and wheat bran (WB), evaluating the effect on lipase production of C/N ratio, lipids, phenols, content of sugars of substrates and nitrogen source addition. Moreover, the implementation of the SSF process in a packed-bed bioreactor and the improvement of lipase extraction conditions were assessed. Low C/N ratios and high content of lipids led to maximum lipase production. Optimum SSF conditions were achieved with a C/N mass ratio of 25.2 and 10.2% (w/w) lipids in substrate, by the mixture of OP:WB (1:1) and supplemented with 1.33% (w/w) (NH4)2SO4. Studies in a packed-bed bioreactor showed that the lower aeration rates tested prevented substrate dehydration, improving lipase production. In this work, the important role of Triton X-100 on lipase extraction from the fermented solid substrate has been shown. A final lipase activity of 223 ± 5 U g1 (dry basis) was obtained after 7 days of fermentation.Felisbela Oliveira acknowledges the ïŹnancial support from Fundação para a CiĂȘncia e Tecnologia (FCT) of Portugal through grant SFRH/BD/87953/2012.

    Valorisation of olive oil solid waste using high pressure-high temperature reactor

    Response surface methodology was used to optimise the combined effects of malaxation time (t) and aqueous citric acid solution (CA) added at the beginning of the malaxation step on total polyphenols (TP) and o-diphenols (OD) content and the antiradical power (ARP) of the olive oil extracted from the Italian olive fruits of Coratina cultivar. Different tests were performed according to a 32 full factorial design, varying t from 30 to 90 min and the CA from 5 to 15 ml/kgpaste. Overall optimal conditions identified by a numerical optimisation for the three responses were found to be at t = 30 min and CA = 13.79 ml/kgpaste under which the model predicted TP = 604.52 lgCAE/goil, OD = 80.44 lgCAE/goil and ARP = 28.73 lgDPPH/llextract. There were also linear correlations between TP (R2 = 0.8176) and OD (R2 = 0.8633) values of olive oil and waste water. The results of this study demonstrate that considerably short malaxation time and relatively small amounts of citric acid were required to enhance the quality of olive oil. The outcome of our study will therefore be of great value for the commercial production of olive oil with high level of polyphenols and o-diphenols
