The analysis of micelles microfiltration focused on the influence of multi-step processes on permeate flow and time steps, allowing exploration of pore blocking models. The cake filtration mechanism was identified as predominant for global filtration. The study achieved a 97 % micelles rejection rate in ten steps with a 3.0 μm pore membrane at 1 bar. Protein retention was also studied, showing a final retention rate of 60 %, with 40 % of proteins in the final permeate. This multi-step filtration process acts as microfiltration for micelles and ultrafiltration for proteins, improving tacrolimus purity. However, the tacrolimus yield was reduced by 9 %, attributed to increased tacrolimus adsorption on the gel/cake layer surface rather than steric factors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142315347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper emphasizes the importance of selecting an optimal extraction method to fully harness the bioactive potential of these phenolic compounds. In this work, we provide a comprehensive overview of conventional and advanced extraction techniques that are used to extract phenolic compounds from macadamia by-products, with a particular focus on the methods applied to macadamia green husk. Among the various techniques, it appears that ultrasound-assisted extraction, especially when combined with aqueous organic solvents, is more efficient than other methods for this purpose. This review also addresses the challenges in phenolic compound recovery, primarily due to the lack of a standardized extraction process. This often results in the extensive use of extraction solvents to achieve an extract that is rich in phenolic compounds. Overall, this research offers a valuable understanding of the most effective methods for the extraction and recovery of phenolic compounds from macadamia by-products and discusses the potential for scaling up these extraction processes.

Besides, it was shown that an increased pectin yield can be achieved with an increased ultrasound intensity, provided that the pH is sufficiently low. The optimal UAE conditions resulted in a pectin yield of 57.2 %, while the control extraction, which used the same extraction conditions without the application of ultrasound waves, only resulted in a pectin yield of 37.4 %, showing a significant increase with ultrasonication. Due to the temperature-control during the ultrasonication process, this increased yield can be attributed to the ultrasound waves as such, and not to the accompanying temperature increase.
