High hydrostatic pressure and ultrasound extractions of antioxidant compounds, sulforaphane and fatty acids from Chilean papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) seeds: Effects of extraction conditions and methods
Abstract
This study addressed the use of papaya seeds (Vasconcellea pubescens) as a source of bioactive compounds by using different types of assisted extractions such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHPE), ultrasound (UAE) and conventional (CE) extractions. The results showed that HHPE was more effective than UAE and CE in extracting bioactive compounds and had a shorter extraction time. A high correlation between the antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content indicated that phenolic compounds could be the main source of antioxidant activity in this seed. Fatty acids were identified and quantified; oleic (n-9) and linoleic (n-6) acids were the major acids in papaya seeds. Thus, HHPE and UAE provided effective methods for bio-compound extraction from Chilean papaya seeds and could have potential benefits for the cosmetic, food or pharmaceutical industries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
