Phenolic compounds were extracted from peach peels with ultrasound-assisted extraction after enzymatic pretreatment involving two enzymes, cellulase and pectinase, under varying conditions. The optimal extraction yield (2.376 mg GAE/g dry peach peel) was obtained after pretreatment for 150 min, with a water to peels ratio of 4 mL/g, an enzyme concentration of 3 %, and a cellulase-pectinase enzyme with a composition of 50 % cellulase and 50 % pectinase. This yield was higher than the maximum efficiency obtained through ultrasound-assisted extraction without enzymatic pretreatment (1.580 mg GAE/g dry peach peel). In addition, a technique for peach seeds valorization was developed by employing ultrasound-assisted extraction in order to extract seed oil. The highest efficiency (0.197 g oil/g dry seeds or 90 % oil recovery) was obtained at a temperature of 42.5 °C, a solvent-to-powder ratio of 16 mL/g, and an amplitude level of 45 % after 35 min. This efficiency was consistent with the yields obtained by other conventional extraction methods at much longer extraction times (4–18 h).

While previous research demonstrated the advantages of dual coaxial mixers for pseudoplastic fluids, limited attention has been given to aerating yield-pseudoplastic fluids with higher aspect ratios. This study bridges that gap by investigating both local and global gas hold-up under various conditions, utilizing electrical resistance tomography and computational fluid dynamics. Key findings showed that increasing the anchor speed from stationary to 30 rpm significantly enhanced aeration efficiency (gas hold-up per specific power consumption), with improvements of 78 % in UP-CO mode and 25 % in UP-COUNTER mode at <em>N<sub>c</sub></em> = 350 rpm and <em>Q<sub>g</sub></em> = 20 L/min. These results underscore enhanced gas dispersion under specific operating conditions, driving overall process intensification. To ensure accurate prediction of gas hold-up, both dimensional and dimensionless empirical correlations, along with an artificial neural networks (ANNs) model, were developed.
