Recovery of bioactive phenolic compounds from papaya seeds agroindustrial residue using subcritical water extraction

The novelty of this study was the use of a subcritical water unit to recover phenolic compounds from papaya seeds, a relevant agroindustrial waste. The effect of temperature conditions on subcritical water extraction (SWE) was compared to Soxhlet extraction (SOX) in terms of total yield, phenolic content (TPC), Maillard reaction products (MRPs), and antioxidant activity, detected by DPPH and β-carotene bleaching methods. TPC and MRPs values were...
