Choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents do not improve the ethanolic extraction of carotenoids from buriti fruit (Mauritia flexuosa L.)

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES) as an emerging technology for the valorisation of natural products and agro‐food residues: a review

“…Their use in hydrophobic compounds extraction is still limited and there are only few reports on them e.g ., carotenoid extraction. Particularly, a ChCl‐based NaDES used as cosolvent with ethanol (0.5–70%) did not enhance the yield extraction of carotenoids from pulp and peels of buriti fruit (Palacio Leite et al ., 2021). Eventually, a hydrophobic NaDES may contribute to the valorisation of this type of agro‐residues.…”

Using Eutectic Solvents for Extracting Astaxanthin from Dry Biomass of Xanthophyllomyces Dendrorhous Pre-Treated by Pulsed Electric Fields

“…In general, therapeutic ESs have hydrophobic character (hESs) so they present high affinity to nonpolar compounds and are good solvents in solid-liquid extractions [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Papers have been published on AST extraction with eutectic solvents but the combination of these solvents with PEF pretreatment to facilitate release has not been investigated [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Combining high intensity ultrasound and experimental design to improve carotenoid extraction efficiency from Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa)

“…Buriti is the fruit and popular name of an abundant palm tree ( Mauritia flexuosa ) native to the Brazilian Cerrado biome and is also an excellent natural source of carotenoids with a much higher content e.g. carrots, mangoes, tomatoes, among others [2] . In addition to food, buriti has been used for cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry as a source of β-carotene, one of the most potent natural antioxidants [3] .…”
