Berry phenolics are considered as phytochemicals, which might mitigate development of degenerative diseases, including cancer. Many studies demonstrated their antiproliferative effects in various cancer cell lines while the studies with real foods are rather scarce. We report antiproliferative properties of unique extracts, which were obtained from the defatted by supercritical CO cranberry (CrE) and black chokeberry (ChoE) pomace using pressurized ethanol, and global antioxidant response of meat products enriched with berry polyphenolics during in vitro digestion.

Mosquito-borne dengue virus (DENV) and zika virus (ZIKV) infections constitute a global health emergency. Antivirals directly targeting the virus infectious cycle are still needed to prevent dengue hemorrhagic fever and congenital zika syndrome. In the present study, we demonstrated that Cranberry Pomace (CP) extract, a polyphenol-rich agrifood byproduct recovered following cranberry juice extraction, blocks DENV and ZIKV infection in human Huh7.

The article presents the optimization of supercritical CO extraction (SFE-CO) parameters using response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) in order to produce single variety hop (cv. ) extracts with high yield and strong in vitro antioxidant properties. Optimized SFE-CO (37 MPa, 43 °C, 80 min) yielded 26.

Due to the lack of innovative valorization strategies, berry pomaces are a poorly utilized as a cheap source of valuable nutrients and phytochemicals. An effective biorefining scheme was developed to recover functional components from lingonberry pomace by consecutive supercritical CO (SFE-CO), pressurized liquid (PLE) and enzyme assisted (EAE) extractions. SFE-CO at optimized parameters yielded 11.

In this study supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO) and pressurized liquid (PLE) extractions were optimized for the recovery of valuable fractions from blackberry pomace. Consecutively applied SFE-CO and PLE at optimized parameters yielded 9.9, 26.
