Pr Meireles will present different methods of Polyphenols Extraction at the workshop "Utilization of By-products of Food Processing" during the 9th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications

During the Workshop at the Malta Polyphenols World Congress 2015 held on June 3-5, Pr Meireles will present Extraction of Polyphenols From Food By-Products Using Green Solvents: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide, Pressurized Ethanol, Ethanol And Water.

"In this talk, a discussion of extraction of polyphenols from food by-products will,be presented. The presentation will be focused on obtaining polyphenols using supercritical fluid extraction using water (SFEW)1 and ethanol (SFE-EtOH)2 as cosolvents, the use of pressurized ethanol extraction and the use of lowpressure ethanol extraction. The use of polyphenols using supercritical fluid extraction with ethanol as cosolvent will be focused in the use of residue of jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) and grape bagasse from the Peruvian Pisco industry.
