In this paper we proposed to research the biochemical mechanisms of the biocompounds with indolic structure, by investigating their biochemical effects on one very important physico-chemical parameter of the cell membrane, namely the (trans)membrane potential. The aim of the study was the assessment of the membrane depolarizationrepolarization processes induced by some bio-indoles, namely melat...

Cocoa bean shell (CBS), a by-product of the chocolate industry, was employed as substrate for sustainable recovery bioactive compounds using ohmic heating (OH). Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity treated CBS were optimized by experimental design. Maximum extraction (23 mg GAE/g CBS) obtained at 67 °C, 50 min 44% ethanol (v/v). The extracts under central point conditions 284.5 μM Fe...

Three green algae, collected from the Romanian Black Sea coast, are studied: Ulva lactuca, Enteromorpha intestinalis, and Cladophora vagabunda, which were six different coastal areas. This paper aims to identify bioactive compounds of these algae their beneficial properties, in order use them as potential nutraceuticals using analytical methods. Pharmacognostic, microbiological, physico-chemica...

Eggplants contain a multitude of biocompounds with nutritional and/or biological activities. The objective this work was to study the nutritional, chemical and bioactive value red eggplant from Rotonda, Italy. Ohmic heating (OH) compared conventional heating, as different solvents were used (water, ethanol 30, 50, 90% methanol) for extraction. Extracts evaluated their total phenolic compounds, ...

Biomass is a crucial energy resource used for the generation of electricity and transportation fuels. Microalgae exhibit a high content of biocomponents which makes them a potential feedstock for the generation of ecofriendly biofuels. Biofuels derived from microalgae are suitable carbon-neutral replacements for petroleum. Fermentation is the major process for metabolic conversion of microalgal...

Electric field-based technologies for extraction processes have been gaining importance due to sustainability concerns. This work aims assess the potential of ohmic heating as an efficient and feasible tool different biocompounds from Gracilaria vermiculophylla its effect on extracts' composition. Different ratios water/ethanol (0 75% ethanol, v/v) were used target families biocompounds. The he...
