Summary: This study investigated the efficiency of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) in recovering minerals, pigments, and antioxidant compounds from spirulina microalgae. SFE was found to improve the extraction of phycocyanin, chlorophyll a, carotenoids, and certain fatty acids. Phenolic profiles were identified, and SFE extract showed improved cell viability. SFE provides a sustainable method for extracting high-added-value compounds, but the presence of potential contaminants like lead needs to be controlled.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the use of natural compounds, such as honeybee pollen (HBP), as fish health promoters in aquaculture. This study investigated the effects of HBP and its extract on immune response and quality parameters in farmed gilthead seabream. The results showed that a diet containing HBP extract at a certain level improved fish health parameters without impacting fillets quality, suggesting its potential as an immunostimulant for gilthead seabream.

Summary: The nutritional values of seeds from five cultivars of Elaeagnus mollis Diels were evaluated, and fatty acid profiles in samara oil extracted from these seeds were identified using GC-MS. Soxhlet extraction yielded a higher oil yield, while SF-CO2 extraction resulted in higher unsaturated fatty acid content. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids was 9:1, with linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid being the most abundant fatty acids identified.

Summary: This review discusses the benefits of the phenolic fraction recovered from peanut skin, with a focus on proanthocyanin/procyanidin compounds, and explores methods to improve their activity, bioavailability, and protection, such as encapsulation. Different applications for proanthocyanidins in the food and pharmaceutical industries are also explored. High-pressure green extraction methods, combined with micro/nanoencapsulation using wall material derived from peanut industrial processing, may represent a promising biorefinery strategy to enhance the bioavailability of underutilized peanut skins.

Summary: In this study, four polythiourethane films with different types of polyols and isocyanates were synthesized, characterized, and foamed. The results showed that the type of isocyanate greatly influenced the crystallinity and stiffness of the polymers, while the type of polyol modified the FT-IR spectra and the decomposition curve of the material with temperature. Furthermore, the choice of isocyanate also affected the properties of the foams obtained from the polymeric material.

Summary: This study experimentally assessed the hydrodynamic characteristics of supercritical-pressure R134a in a horizontal circular tube. It was found that the hydrodynamic characteristic curve of R134a under supercritical pressure does not have a negative-slope region but a transition region. The transition region becomes more evident with increasing heat flux, while it weakens with increasing pressure and inlet temperature. Moreover, the onset of the transition region shifts in the direction of high mass flow rate with increasing heat flux.

Summary: This research aimed to valorize brewery spent grain (BSG) using subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) modified by six different natural deep eutectic solvents (DES) and determining their bipotentialities. The findings showed that BSG hydrolysates obtained through DES-induced SWH contained high levels of sugars, proteins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and essential amino acids. The hydrolysates also demonstrated antimicrobial activities, and the presence of bioactive compounds was confirmed through FT-IR analysis. This comprehensive profiling of bioactive compounds from BSG using DES-mediated SWH can contribute to the efficient valorization of BSG for industrial purposes.
