Abstract
In this study, natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), comprising choline chloride (ChCl) as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) with hydrogen bond donor (HBD) including glucose (Glu), fructose (Fru), xylose (Xyl), xylitol (Xyli), and glycerol (Gly), were formulated and characterized for simultaneous extraction of phenolic compounds (polar) and carotenoids (non-polar) from fresh oil palm leaves (OPL). pH, density, polarity, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and rheological analyses were conducted, with relation to the extraction efficiency achieved via homogenizer-assisted heating and stirring extraction approach. Among the NADES formulations tested, ChCl:Xyl (1:1) displayed the highest total phenolic content (TPC) at 20.23825 mg/g OPL, due to its optimal polarity at 49.4654 kcal and a viscosity of 23288 mPa.s. The highest total carotenoid content (TCC) was observed in ChCl:Xyli (1:1) at 325.94 µg/g OPL, with a lower polarity at 50.0280 kcal . Despite having similar viscosity and polarity, ChCl:Fru (1:2) with a pH of 5.82 outperformed ChCl:Glu (1:1) with a pH of 6.72 due to enhanced phenolic compound solubility and stability. This study shed light on the potential of NADES, particularly in overcoming the challenge of high moisture content in OPL and other fresh biomasses, which often acted as a barrier during phytonutrients extraction.
期刊介绍:
Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
