Polyphenols in the Waste Water Produced during the Hydrodistillation of ‘Narcea Roses’ Cultivated in the Cibea River Valley (Northern Spain)

The ‘Narcea rose’ is a recently described yet ancient rose cultivar of interest to the perfume industry. Given its excellent adaptation conditions place where it was rediscovered, possibilities horticultural/industrial production have been under examination for some time. hydrodistillation process produces red-to-brownish mixture water and petals that could contain compounds be used in other industrial procedures. Their recovery further utilization would reduce disposal costs improve sustainability relevant industries. This work reports quantification, by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC–MS) quadrupole time flight Q-TOF analyses, polyphenol content waste water. found high concentrations quercetin, gallic acid ellagic acid, as well smaller kaempferol derivatives, all which can influence plant, human animal health.
