| Abstract [eng] |
This study investigates the valorization of rye and wheat bran and blackcurrant pomace using multistep processes for biorefining the biomass into high value food-grade functional ingredients. Supercritical fluid extraction, pressurized liquid extraction and enzyme-assisted extractions were applied to isolate these substances. The most important variables have been optimized in order to achieve the highest efficiency of the applied process. Different antioxidant activity assays were applied to determine the best fractions for the value-added ingredient production. |
