Sažetak
Mandarin peel contains significant amounts of bioactive and high-value components, among which phenolic acids and flavonoids are the most persistent groups of plant phenolics exhibiting health-related properties including antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory. Subcritical water extraction (SWE) technique is considered as an promising green alternative to conventional extraction methods, being also efficient for extraction of variety types of bioactive compounds from plant material. The efficiency of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) extraction for obtaining high-quality essential oil from citrus peel is well-known, however the utilization of generated remain free of non-polar components is not commonly studied for obtaining extracts rich in phenolic compounds. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of using mandarin peel of the Citrus unshiu variety using subcritical water extraction (SWE) technique, and to evaluate phytochemicals, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the prepared extracts. After SC-CO2 extraction, the exhausted citrus waste was subjected to SWE in a wide temperature range (130 – 220 °C) using solvent- solid ratio (10 – 30 mL/g) in periods from 5 to 15 min. Identification and quantification of individual bioflavonoids, of which hesperidin (0.16 – 15.07 mg/g of plant) was determined as the most abundant flavanon in mandarin peel, and also other polyphenolic compounds as possible products of thermal degradation, was performed using high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). At higher temperatures the presence of 5-HMF and chlorogenic acid was detected. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content in extracts were determined using spectrophotometric methods. Process optimization was performed by response surface methodology (RSM) using Design Expert® software.
