RESUMEN
In this work, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) for the recovery of phenolic antioxidants from papaya agroindustrial waste (seeds) was explored, making use of neat supercritical CO2 and CO2 added with ethanol (CO2-EtOH). A full factorial design played on in order to evaluate the effect of CO2 extraction parameters (temperature between 40 and 60 °C, and pressure between 10 and 30 MPa) on yield and total phenols content (TPC), then ethanol was applied as a co-solvent and its effect on the recovery of phenolics was analyzed. The SFE was compared to the conventional extraction using ethanol. The antioxidant activity of all extracts was evaluated, and the phenolic composition in selected extracts was assessed by HPLC-ESI-MS. The highest extraction yields (21.02-26.46%) and TPC (15.34-34.23 mgGAE/g) were found in extracts obtained with CO2-EtOH and ethanol. Good and selective phenolic recovery was obtained by using CO2-EtOH, (44.81% of TPC recovered). The CO2-EtOH extracts showed high radical scavenging activity and higher antioxidant effect against lipid oxidation. Some phenolic acids and flavonoids were observed in the extracts with better antioxidants properties. The results showed that SFE is a suitable green technology for the phenolic recovery from papaya agroindustrial waste, and also an alternative for its valorization.
RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to explore the potential of the agroindustrial waste from two Colombian mango cultivars as sources of bioactive phenolic compounds. Phenolic extracts from mango waste (peels, seed coats, and seed kernels) of 'sugar mango' and 'Tommy Atkins' cultivars were obtained. The bioactive properties of the phenolic extracts were accessed by measuring their free radical scavenging activity and antioxidant effects against lipid oxidation in food products; moreover, their antiproliferative effects against some cell lines of human cancer were explored. It is observed that the agroindustrial waste studied provides promising sources of bioactive phenolics. 'Sugar mango' waste provided extracts with the highest antioxidant effect in food products and antiproliferative activity; these extracts reduced lipid oxidation and cell growth by more than 57% and 75%, respectively. The seed kernel from 'sugar mango' supplied the extract with the best bioactive qualities; in addition, some recognized bioactive phenolics (such as mangiferin and several galloyl glucosides) were observed in this extract and related with its properties. The results obtained suggest that 'sugar mango' waste may be considered a source of bioactive phenolics, with promising uses in food and pharmaceutical products. Thus, a suitable alternative for the use and valorization of agroindustrial waste from Colombian mango cultivars is presented.
RESUMEN
Resumen Se obtuvieron fracciones a partir del epicarpio de tomate de árbol (Solanum betaceum Sendtn) y se evaluó su efecto protector contra la oxidación lipídica en carne de res cocida (CRC). Un extracto obtenido a través de extracción supercrítica fue fraccionado empleando, a su vez, extracción en fase sólida; dichas fracciones fueron adicionadas a CRC (concentración 200 mg/kg). El efecto protector fue determinado a través de la comparación de algunos productos de oxidación y el antioxidante sintético terbutilhidroxiquinona (TBHQ, concentración 200 mg/kg). Cuatro fracciones fueron obtenidas, la fracción de mayor polaridad mostró una alta eficiencia para inhibir la oxidación lipídica en CRC, reduciendo la formación de hidroperóxidosHPL y TBARS en 100 y 98,5%, respectivamente; esta mostró una eficiencia superior a la observada para el TBHQ. Esta fracción más activa fue sometida a análisis HPLC-DAD y se identificaron algunos compuestos fenólicos: tres catequinas (epigalocatequina, epicatequina y galato de epigalocatequina) y un ácido fenólico (rosmarínico). Los resultados obtenidos permitieron evidenciar que el epicarpio de tomate de árbol es fuente de antioxidantes con efecto protector sobre CRC, alternativa de aprovechamiento y valorización para dicho residuo agroindustrial.
Abstract Fractions from tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Sendtn) epicarp were obtained and their effect against lipid oxidation in cooked beef meat (CBM) was evaluated. An extract obtained by supercritical fluids extraction was fractionated using solid phase extraction and these fractions were added to CBM (at 300 mg/kg). The protector effect against lipid oxidation was determined by measuring some lipid oxidation products and comparison against the synthetic antioxidant tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ at 300 mg/ kg). Four fractions were obtained, the most polar fraction showed high efficiency to reduce the lipid oxidation on CBM, this fraction reduced the LHP and TBARS formation at 100.0 and 98.5%, respectively. This fraction showed an ability to retard lipid oxidation in CRC higher than TBHQ. The fraction with the highest protector effect was analyzed for its phenolic composition by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode-Array Detection (HPLC-DAD). Three catechin (epigallocatechin, epicatechin and epigallocatechin gallate) and a phenolic acid (rosmarinic acid) were identified. The results revealed that the tree tomato epicarp is a source of antioxidants with protective effect on CBM, an alternative for the use and valorization of this agroindustrial waste.

Um extrato obtido através da extração supercrítica foi fracionado utilizando extração em fase sólida e as frações obtidas foram adicionadas á CBC (concentração 300 mg/kg). O efeito protetor contra a oxidação dos lipídios foi determinado medindo alguns produtos de oxidação e comparando com a terbutil-hidroquinona (TBHQ, concentração 300 mg/kg). Quatro frações foram obtidas, destas, a fração de maior polaridade mostrou a maior eficiência para inibir a oxidação dos lipídios da CBC, reduzindo a formação de HPL e TBARS em 100 e 98,5%, respectivamente; mostrou uma eficiência maior da observada para TBHQ.

RESUMEN
In the present study we report the characterization of benzylglucosinolate (BG) isolated from papaya (Carica papaya L.) seeds. A methanolic extract was fractionated and further purified by solid phase extraction (SPE). It was analyzed by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1) H and (13) C-NMR) as well, and the target compound BG was identified by these two techniques. The effect of BG on lipid oxidation in edible vegetable oil (EO) was shown by observing some lipid oxidation products (linoleic acid hydroperoxides, LHP; hexanal, HEX; nonanal, NON; thiobarbituric acid reactives species, TBARS). BG reduced lipid oxidation production in EO by over 80%, as compared to a control sample and in this way has proved to be a useful antioxidant, even more effective than some antioxidants used by food industry.
