Microwave-Assisted Glycerol-Based Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Defatted Hass Avocado Cake: Process Optimization, Chemical Characterization, and Sustainability Assessment
Avocado processing generates substantial agro-industrial residues with potential as sources of bioactive compounds. This study investigated defatted cake obtained from continuous-press oil extraction of Hass avocado pulp and peel as a feedstock for bioactive recovery. Microwave-assisted extraction using glycerol as a...
