| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to optimize the extraction of bioactive compounds (antioxidant and antimicrobial) from orange pomace, a byproduct of orange juice production. A Face-Centered CCD design was employed to maximize extraction yield, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity using subcritical water. Extraction temperature (120, 140, and 160°C) and time (20, 30, and 40 minutes) were selected as key variables. The optimal conditions, determined through modeling, were 142.87°C and 39.97 minutes. Under these conditions, the extraction yield reached 13.94%, total phenolic content (TPC) was 454.80 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per 100 g, and free radical scavenging activity (DPPH) was 51.78%. Verification experiments confirmed these results. Additionally, the extracted compounds exhibited strong antimicrobial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 10% and 5% against Penicillium citrinum and Aspergillus niger, respectively, compared to 1% for fluconazole. This study highlights the efficiency of subcritical water extraction in recovering bioactive compounds from agricultural byproducts, emphasizing its potential as a sustainable and effective method for producing valuable bioactive materials. | ||
