The aim of this study was to evaluate the extraction of bioactive compounds from <em>N. gaditana</em> using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO<sub>2</sub>, which was compared with a conventional solvent extraction. The effect of biomass pretreatment with freeze/thaw cycles followed by ultrasounds before SFE or conventional extraction was evaluated, showing differences in extraction yields. Although the lipid extract obtained by SFE was low (1.63% dry weight of biomass), the application of the pretreatment substantially increased the yield (8.51%). Scanning electron microscopy images showed that freeze/thaw cycles plus ultrasounds damaged the cell structure favoring the release of bioactive components outside the cell. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) was the most abundant fatty acid (FA) followed by cis-9 16:1 and 16:0 in all extracts. The highest EPA levels were achieved by SFE with pretreated biomass (37.58% of total FA). These extracts also showed the most nutritionally suitable FA profile. SFE application increased the total carotenoid and chlorophyll contents, reaching values of 21.18 and 60.23 mg/g extract, respectively. The combination of co-solvents with different polarity (ethyl acetate and ethanol) during SFE proved to be useful for a more complete extraction of the different components. Our findings support SFE as a sustainable alternative technique to produce molecules with recognized biological value from microalgae pretreated biomass.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":382,"journal":{"name":"LWT - Food Science and Technology","volume":"223 ","pages":"Article 117748"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143823937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nixtamalization time (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 min) on the evolution of the physicochemical, bioactive, and antioxidant properties of three species of cucurbits (<em>Cucurbita pepo</em>, <em>Cucurbita argyrosperma</em>, and <em>Cucurbita maxima</em>). After nixtamalization, cucurbits were dehydrated (60 °C, 24 h), ground, and sieved (500 μm). Subsequently, physicochemical properties were analyzed, and total bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity were determined through spectrophotometric techniques. Polyphenolic compounds (via HPLC) and calcium were quantified 6 min after nixtamalization. According to the results, nixtamalization increased pH (9–19 %) and moisture (1–2 %) and reduced hardness by up to 97 %. The color became darker and more intense, with a decrease in lightness (8–19 %) and hue angle (2–9 %) and an increase in chroma (13–23 %). Furthermore, chlorophyll (44–80 %), carotenoids (25–39 %), and antioxidant capacity (14–37 %) increased. Finally, phenolic acids (gallic, chlorogenic, and syringic) and flavonoids (epicatechin, catechin, and myricetin), and calcium levels were higher (65–93 %) in nixtamalized flours. In conclusion, nixtamalization can be used as a novel strategy for preserving cucurbits and increasing their chlorophyll and carotenoid contents. This approach could reduce post-harvest losses by allowing the use of waste products and the development of functional ingredients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":382,"journal":{"name":"LWT - Food Science and Technology","volume":"223 ","pages":"Article 117760"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
