Bioactive Compounds Extraction

Bioactive Compounds Extraction

Ultrasound technology is highly effective in enhancing the extraction of bioactive compounds. It uses high-frequency sound waves to rupture cell walls, facilitating the release of compounds with greater efficiency, less time, and reduced use of harsh solvents.

Our group has significant experience in developing sustainable biorefineries. Our research focuses on valuing agricultural and food waste for the extraction and separation of high-value ingredients.

Extractable Compounds

Phenolic compounds, vitamins, flavonoids, carotenoids, lipids, pigments, among others.

Tested Products

Microalgae

High-yield oil extraction.

Fruit Waste

Extraction of phenolics from cashew apple bagasse, coconut husk, and various fruits.

Pigments & Carotenoids

Obtaining natural pigments from acerola, tamarind, and mango.

Propolis

Optimized extraction of high-purity flavonoids.

Collaborations

Our laboratory is available for academic and industrial collaborations for sustainable extraction projects and ingredient development.
