Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction and Magnetic Stirring Extraction of Bioactive Compounds From Industrial Potato Processing Waste: A Sustainable Green Process
摘要
This work explores the valorization of industrial potato waste, specifically peel and mash, for the extraction of bioactives. The extract can subsequently be utilized in food applications, promoting a sustainable approach to waste utilization.
PurposeThis study investigates the optimization and comparative efficiency of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and magnetic stirring extraction (MSE) for recovering bioactive compounds from industrial potato by-products in the form of potato peel (PP) and potato mash (PM).
MethodsUAE was performed by varying frequencies (20–40 kHz), extraction times (5–15 min), solid-to-liquid ratios (1:10–1:30), and ethanol concentrations (25–75%). MSE was conducted using temperatures (30–50 °C), durations (30–60 min), solid-to-liquid ratios (1:10–1:30), and ethanol concentrations of of (25–75%). Extracts were evaluated for total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Phytochemicals and structural characterization were performed using HPLC, FTIR, and FESEM.
ResultsUAE conditions (30 kHz, 15 min, 1:30 SLR, 25% ethanol) yielded the highest TPC (522.98 mg GAE/100 g), TFC (313.42 mg QE/100 g), DPPH (2.50 µmol TE/100 g), and FRAP (280.56 µmol TE/100 g) for PP. For PM, maximum values were observed at 20 kHz, 15 min, 1:30 SLR, and 50% ethanol, with corresponding value of 385.89 mg GAE/100 g, 276.56 mg QE/100 g, 1.69 µmol TE/100 g, and 279.90 µmol TE/100 g, respectively. In contrast, MSE under optimal conditions (50 °C, 60 min, 1:30 SLR, 25% ethanol) showed significantly lower values for both PP and PM extract samples.
ConclusionUAE exhibited superior extraction efficiency and cell wall disruption. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of major bioactive compounds. FTIR spectra indicated characteristic functional groups corresponding to hydroxyl and carbonyl bonds indicating strong antioxidant potential. FESEM imaging showed significant surface morphological changes in the waste material after extraction, supporting efficient bioactive compounds recovery. This confirms its potential as an efficient and sustainable approach for bioactive recovery from potato by-products for functional food applications.
