Sustainable Extraction Protocols for the Recovery of Bioactive Compounds from By-Products of Pomegranate Fruit Processing

This study investigates sustainable extraction protocols for the recovery of bioactive com- pounds from by-products of various pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars, including Acco, Hicaz, Jolly Red, Parfianka, Valenciana, and Wonderful, generated during the industrial processing of the fruits. Advanced extraction technologies, including ultrasounds, microwaves, and hydro- dynamic cavitation, have been compared to conventional extraction procedures and utilized to enhance extraction...
