Chlorogenic acids are the key components of the phenolic fraction in green coffee seeds, accounting for up to 14% of the dry matter. The manufacturing of decaffeinated coffee demands efficient caffeine extraction from seeds and spent without solvent history effect for safety considerations. This has prompted researchers to investigate eco-friendly and cost-effective extraction technologies. Current extraction processes are not environmentally sustainable and have harmful consequences on humans. To date, developing a single standard method for effective extraction of certain complex compounds from coffee seeds remained a challenging procedure. The current review aims to give updated technical information regarding coffee plant green extraction methods, their advantages and disadvantages, and factors affecting efficacies for the recovery of bioactive compounds in coffee seeds and coffee spent. A comparative review of the uses of innovative green extraction techniques for coffee bioactive substances is introduced to present alternatives to conventional extraction methods. The most interesting finding was that the maximum total extractions of catechin (50.6 g/100 g) and caffeine (46.2 g/100 g) were achieved with enzymes in pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), and PLE-assisted with enzymes exhibited an enhancement in total phenolics and overall antioxidant compared to 50% hydro-ethanolic solutions. In addition, it has been claimed that the ultrasonic extraction can cut extraction time by 37% and temperature by 13%. These green extraction techniques represent favorable approaches to the exploitation of coffee chemicals as bioactives to explore their wide-reaching applications at an industrial level and for their valorization.","PeriodicalId":21744,"journal":{"name":"Separation & Purification Reviews","volume":"10 1","pages":"24 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84240515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The success of the treatment process lies on the improved properties of membranes, notably water permeation, solute rejection, and antifouling capabilities. Over the past decade, hyperbranched macromolecules that comprise star polymers and dendrimers have gained increasing attention in membrane research as synthesis materials and modifying agents. These macromolecules which are composed of branched structure, high-density terminal functional groups, and large intramolecular free volume could offer an opportunity to design a new generation membrane with desirable characteristics. This review looks into the recent advances in the polymeric membrane synthesis and its modification using branched macromolecules. Highlights are given to the factors contributing to the changes in membrane properties (structural, morphological, and chemical functional groups) and performance after branched macromolecules are used as main membrane forming material or modifying agent. The review also discusses outlook and future works that can be further explored on utilizing branched macromolecules in membrane application. Challenges in promoting and commercializing branched macromolecules-based membranes are also discussed.

Additives of various types that may significantly increase the efficiency of mercury phytoextraction are critically evaluated. Thiosulfates and other sulfur-containing compounds, aminopolycarboxylic acids, low-molecular-weight organic acids and enzymes are considered in detail. The important role of selective chemical inductors, primarily thiosulfates, is demonstrated. It is shown that synthetic aminopolycarboxylic acids have the potential for increasing bioavailability of mercury in soils and its translocation to above-ground organs of plants-phytoextractors.
