This work presents a green, downstream process, from extraction to phytochemical characterization and bioactivity testing, to obtain and evaluate the functional properties of phenolic compounds from cowpea (Vigna unguiculata ...

Extracts rich in bioactive compounds added to edible films have allowed the development of active packaging that increases the shelf life of food. However, it is necessary to search for solvents that are nontoxic and not ...

Green metrics quantify the sustainability of chemical processes. Since their introduction many years ago, this topic has been an active area of research and discussion. However, the application of these tools as additional ...

A green tea aqueous extract was prepared and blended at different percentages (2, 4 and 8%) with a commercial fish-skin gelatin in order to provide gelatin films with antioxidant capacity. This green tea extract proved to ...

Ethanolic extracts of propolis are consumed for their health benefits even though direct consumption of alcoholic extracts is not always ideal. Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can potentially extract similar compounds ...

A growing interest in green bio-refining technology using ultrasound to extract high-added value compounds has been observed in the last decades. Therefore, it is of critical importance to consider the impact of the ...
