Upcycling potato peel waste – Data of the pre-screening of the acid-catalyzed liquefaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, the data acquired regarding the preliminary and exploratory experiments conducted with potato peel as a biomass source for the direct thermochemical liquefaction is disclosed. The procedure was carried out in a 2-ethylhexanol/DEG solvent mixture at 160 °C in the presence of p-Toluenesulfonic acid. The adopted procedure afforded a bio-oil in high yield (up to 93%) after only 30 min. For longer reaction times, higher amounts of solid residues were obtained leading, consequently, to lower yields.

Aim of present study was production, purification and characterization of invertase by Aspergillus niger (isolated from soil) using fruit peel waste as a substrate. Screening of various fungi grown on potato dextrose-agar (PDA) was done using liquid medium of 50% sucrose-Cazpek. After incubation at 28 ̊C for 10 days, the invertase activity was determined in the culture filtrate using Fehling’s s...

This study reports the optimised conditions (temperature, ethanol concentration and processing-time) for antioxidant extraction from potato peel (Agria variety) waste. At short extraction times (34 min), optimal yields of phenolic (TP) and flavonoid (Fv) compounds were reached at 89.9°C and ethanol concentrations of 71.2% and 38.6%, respectively. The main phenolic compounds identified in the ex...
