Abstract
The application of a versatile technology for the sequential extraction of multiple valuable compounds offers a promising and efficient alternative for biorefinery exploitation of food by-products. This study investigated an additional step in the comprehensive valorisation of grape marc, the main winemaking by-product, which has undergone prior defatting and polyphenol extraction phases with pressurized fluids. Specifically, subcritical water (SCW) was employed for the extraction of polysaccharides, considering different temperatures (120 °C, 160 °C, and 200 °C) and the addition of various carboxylic acids (tartaric, citric, and malic acid) at concentrations of 0 %, 5 %, and 10 %. Temperature was the most significant factor on yield and polysaccharide content. Conversely, the type and concentration of carboxylic acid exhibited a comparatively lower impact. The highest yield (13 ± 1 %) and polysaccharide content (1300 ± 23 mg/100 g d.m.) were achieved with SCW at 120 °C and 10 % (w/v) of tartaric acid, which were 3 times higher than that of conventional method. However, temperature increase or carboxylic acid addition promoted the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, leading to a decrease in their molecular weight, and the formation of monomers and degradation products. SCW allowed a significant increase of the extraction of other valuable components, such as proteins and polyphenols.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
