Chardonnay and Tinta Cao grape pomaces were generated by the winemaking process. The pomaces were extracted with 50% acetone and tested for antioxidant capacities using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, 50 EC , and ABTS •+ scavenging capacity tests. Cytotoxicity and antiproliferative activities against Caco-2 and HT-29 human colon cancer cell lines were also analyzed. The qua...

In this study, the designed dual stage membrane bioreactor (MBR) system was conceptualized for the treatment of cyanide and heavy metals in electroplating wastewater. The design consisted of a primary treatment stage to reduce the impact of fluctuations and the secondary treatment stage to remove the residual cyanide and heavy metal contaminants in the wastewater under alkaline pH conditions. T...

Several studies have shown that UV-C (ultraviolet C) irradiation promotes the bioactive compounds and antioxidants of fresh fruits and vegetables. The aim of this study was to apply UV irradiation in dried lemon pomace powder for enhancing its phenolic content and antioxidant properties, thus more bioactive compounds should be available for extraction and utilization. Lemon pomace dried powder ...

The enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic biomass such as apple pomace is a complex process influenced by a number of hydrolysis conditions. Predicting optimal conditions, including enzyme and substrate concentration, temperature and pH can improve conversion efficiency. In this study, the production of sugar monomers from apple pomace using commercial enzyme preparations, Celluclast 1.5L, V...

The agriculture sector produces significant amounts of organic residues and the choice management strategy these flows affects environmental sustainability sector. scientific literature is rich with innovative processes for production bio-based products (BBP) from residues, aimed at implementation circular economy principles. Based on data, present paper performed a life cycle assessment assess...

background: the correct usage of  wastes in animal nutrition causes  decrease in environmental pollution. apple pomace as an energetic matter and source of digestible fibers for ruminants is a proper alternative for forage. objectives: the aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of diets containing dried apple pomace on digestibility, rumination, microbial fermentation and blood gl...

This study evaluates the potential mechanism of action and bioactivity of black tea and black tea pomace for type 2 diabetes prevention via inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes. Black tea leaves were extracted in hot water and black tea pomace was extracted in 70% acetone. The phenolic content of the water extract (WBT) and pomace acetone extracts (AOBT) were 5.77 and 8.9 mg/mL, respe...

Plant powders with antimicrobial properties can be used in food manufacturing and must comply the demands of consumers regarding microbiological safety, nutritional value, sensory foods. The present study aimed to assess microbial growth inhibitory ability different plant powders, including by-products horticultural primary processing (e.g., pomace) raw cooked minced pork. total counts aerobic ...
