Fruit pomace remaining after juice extraction is still a source of bioactive compounds. Especially rich in these compounds is the pomace from blackcurrant fruit and from fruits of little-known horticultural plants, like: rowan, rosehip and elderberry. The addition of fruit pomace to bakery and confectionery products, especially to those made of white flour, may significantly enrich their compos...

Platelet activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory mediator, is implicated in several proinflammatory/inflammatory diseases such as glomerulonephritis, glomerulosclerosis, atherosclerosis, cancer, allergy, and diabetes. PAF can be produced by several renal cells under appropriate stimuli and it is thought to be implicated in renal diseases. The aim of this study is the characterization of ...

Evaluation of the sustainability of biomass pyrolysis requires a thorough assessment of the product yields and energy densities. With this purpose, a laboratory scale fixed bed reactor (FBR) was adapted from the standard Gray-King (GK) assay test on coal to conduct fixed bed pyrolysis experiments on agricultural and agro-industrial by-products. The present study provides results on the pyrolysi...

BACKGROUND Alperujo is the paste generated from the two-phase extraction system of olive oil. This wet pomace must be stored for several months and, during this period, the formation of 4-ethyphenol provokes a strong off-odour. The aim of this work was to identify the microorganisms able to produce this volatile phenol. RESULTS Yeast and bacterial strains were isolated from stored alperujo an...

The interest in polysaccharides has increased considerably in recent years, as they are candidates for many commercial applications in different industrial sectors like food, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals. Because of their costly production processes, industrial microbial polysaccharides like xanthan, dextran, curdlan, gellan, and pullulan constitute only a minor fraction of the current polyme...

The protective effect of olive mill pomace (OMP) loaded ethylcellulose microparticles as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants against the oxidation oils was assessed. OMP extract obtained by optimized two-step solid-liquid extraction; encapsulation performed double emulsion solvent evaporation technique considering a theoretical loading content in phenolic compounds 5% (w/w). changes peroxi...

The olive pomace is produced as a result of oil production. Studies, about products obtained from agricultural wastes, have increased within the scope zero waste studies. In present study, activated carbon was synthesized using taken processing plant operating with three-phase process. characterization performed Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR)...

In this study, we assessed the transformation of raw olive pomace into carbon-rich material using mill wastewater (OMWW) as liquid medium for hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process. The findings were compared accordingly with use distilled water (DW), which is conventional practice. OMWW a matrix enhanced hydrochar yield, but volatile matter, fixed carbon content, and O/C H/C ratios followed ...
