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
High-yield oil extraction.
Extraction of phenolics from cashew apple bagasse, coconut husk, and various fruits.
Obtaining natural pigments from acerola, tamarind, and mango.
Optimized extraction of high-purity flavonoids.
