Black chokeberry ( L.) pomace (BCP), a major by-product of juice production, is an underutilized source of polyphenols and anthocyanins with strong antioxidant properties. This study aimed to optimize and compare three green extraction techniques-pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE)-for recovering total polyphenols (TP) and total monomeric anthocyanins (TMA) from BCP, with reflux extraction as a benchmark.

This research focuses on recycling banana peel waste by optimizing advanced extraction techniques, specifically microwave-assisted (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), for the isolation of phenolic compounds. A choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) with glycerol in a 1:3 ratio with a water content of 30% (/) was compared to 30% ethanol.
