Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Raspberry Press Cake

adical-scavenging activity of raspberry press cake extracts. Furthermore, very strongcorrelation (r = 0.97) was found between total phenolics content and total ellagic acidcontent of the investigated extracts.Conclusions. Extracts yields and the yields of phenolic compounds were affectedby the type of extraction solvent and extraction temperature. In this study,aqueous ethanol at 50 °C was recognised as the best solvent-temperature system fora high extract yield and high phenolic compounds yield. As expressed per one grambasis of dry extract pre extraction with hot water yielded the higher purity extractregarding the total penolics content, total ellagic acid content and radical scavengingactivity. The high content of antioxidant phenolics found in the extracts suggests thatraspberry press cake may be an economically interesting phytochemical source forthe nutraceutical and functional food market.However more research is required to establish bioavailability and real beneficialeffects of natural antioxidants from raspberry press cake in vivo.Gauta 2010 06 09Parengta spausdinti 2010 06 12References1.
