Various different agri-food biomasses might be turned into renewable sources for producing biodegradable and edible plastics, potentially attractive for food, agricultural and cosmeceutical sectors. In this regard, different seeds utilized for edible and non-edible oil extraction give rise to high amounts of organic by-products, known as seed oil cakes (SOCs), potentially able to become protein-rich resources useful for the manufacturing of biodegradable films. This study reports the potential of SOC derived from Argania spinosa (argan), a well-known plant containing valuable non-refined oil suitable for food or cosmetic use, to be a promising valuable source for production of a protein-based matrix of biomaterials to be used in the pharmaco-cosmetic sector. Thus, glycerol-plasticized films were prepared by casting and drying using different amounts of argan seed protein concentrate, in the presence of increasing glycerol concentrations, and characterized for their morphological, mechanical, barrier, and hydrophilicity properties. In addition, their antioxidant activity and effects on cell viability and wound healing were investigated. The hydrophobic nature of the argan protein-based films, and their satisfying physicochemical and biological properties, suggest a biorefinery approach for the recycling of argan SOC as valuable raw material for manufacturing new products to be used in the cosmeceutical and food industries.

High-viscosity liquid media with specified properties are the products of complex processing of oilseeds and by-products of the fat-and-oil enterprises, so they should have the widest possible range of specialized characteristics. High-viscosity liquid media are becoming more convenient and no less effective alternative to solid media. To improve their characteristics, natural components can be introduced into their composition in the form of by-products of the fat and oil industry, and vegetable and essential oils. To create a competitive product, a modified technology was developed at the stage of adding additives for complex processing of oilseeds and by-products of the fat and oil enterprises. The main additives were analyzed and natural components were selected from by-products of the oil and fat industry, vegetable and essential oils, in particular, tea tree oil and aloe vera gel, which exhibit good anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antifungal, antiviral and wound healing properties. The selected components are introduced into high-viscosity liquid media in a solubilized form, often in combination with other components. The formulation for an experimental sample of high-viscosity liquid media has been developed, which includes sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide DEA, sodium chloride, glyceryl, acrylate copolymer, methyl chloroisothiazolinone/methyl isothiazolinone, citric acid, disodium EDTA, tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, triclocarban, perfume, and water. In the experiment, a step-by-step introduction of the components was proposed for the production of samples of high-viscosity liquid media, the duration of each operation was 15 min, the rotation speed of a mixer was 45 rpm, and the temperature of the components at each production stage attained 210C.

Quality Control and Authentication of Argan Oils: Application of Advanced Analytical Techniques

In addition to the nutritional and therapeutic benefits, Argan oil is praised for its unique bio-ecological and botanic interest. It has been used for centuries to treat cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and skin infections, as well as for its anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties. Argan oil is widely commercialized as a result of these characteristics. However, falsifiers deliberately blend Argan oil with cheaper vegetable oils to make economic profits. This reduces the quality and might result in health issues for consumers. Analytical techniques that are rapid, precise, and accurate are employed to monitor its quality, safety, and authenticity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of studies on the quality assessment of Moroccan Argan oil using both untargeted and targeted approaches. To extract relevant information on quality and adulteration, the analytical data are coupled with chemometric techniques.
