🌱 Recovery of Natural Antioxidants from Onion Solid Waste

-

 World Top Scientists Awards



Onion solid waste, often discarded during food processing, is actually a hidden reservoir of powerful natural antioxidants 🧪🌿. Rich in flavonoids such as quercetin and phenolic compounds, this agro-industrial byproduct offers a sustainable opportunity to recover value-added bioactives. Harnessing these compounds not only reduces food waste ♻️ but also supports the development of clean-label and functional foods 🍞🥗.

⚙️ Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE): A Green Technology

Pressurized Liquid Extraction is an advanced and eco-friendly technique 🌍⚡ used to efficiently recover antioxidants from onion waste.
Key Features of PLE:

  • Uses high pressure and controlled temperature 🔥

  • Enhances solvent penetration and extraction yield 💧

  • Reduces extraction time and solvent consumption ⏱️

Compared to conventional extraction, PLE preserves the bioactivity of antioxidants while ensuring higher purity and efficiency 🌟.

🧬 Characterization of Recovered Antioxidants

The extracted compounds are analyzed for:

  • Total phenolic content 📊

  • Antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS assays) 🧫

  • Stability and bioactivity 🧠

These evaluations confirm the strong radical-scavenging potential of onion-derived antioxidants, making them ideal for food applications 🍽️.

🛡️ Encapsulation: Protecting Bioactive Power

Natural antioxidants are sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen ☀️🔥. Encapsulation technology acts as a protective shield 🧩✨.
Benefits of Encapsulation:

  • Improves stability and shelf life 📦

  • Masks undesirable flavors 👅

  • Enables controlled release in food systems ⏳

Common encapsulation materials include biopolymers and natural carriers, ensuring food safety and compatibility 🥛🌾.

🍪 Application in Food Systems

Encapsulated onion antioxidants can be incorporated into various food products such as bakery items, dairy products, beverages, and functional foods 🧁🥤.
Advantages in Foods:

  • Delays lipid oxidation 🧈

  • Enhances nutritional value 💪

  • Replaces synthetic antioxidants 🚫🧪

This integration supports healthier food formulations and meets consumer demand for natural ingredients 🌿❤️.

🌍 Sustainability and Future Perspectives

Utilizing onion solid waste promotes circular economy principles 🔄🌎 by transforming waste into high-value functional ingredients. Future research may focus on scaling up PLE processes, optimizing encapsulation methods, and exploring new food matrices 🚀📈.

✨ Conclusion

The recovery of natural antioxidants from onion solid waste through pressurized liquid extraction, followed by encapsulation and food application, represents an innovative, sustainable, and health-oriented approach 🌱🍽️. This strategy bridges waste management and functional food development, paving the way for a greener and healthier future 🌍💚.

Image
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to make history by launching an American communications satellite. This is the first time an American company is using an Indian rocket for such a large and advanced satellite. The mission is expected to occur in February or March 2025. India cultural tours Background of the Mission Historically, ISRO has focused on launching small satellites from American manufacturers. The upcoming launch will be the first instance of a massive communications satellite being deployed by a US company from Indian soil. This initiative reflects the growing partnership between India and the United States in the field of space technology. The Role of AST SpaceMobile AST SpaceMobile, a Texas-based company, is expected to be the manufacturer of the satellite. The company has developed technology that allows users to make voice calls using standard smartphones. Unlike other satellite communication providers, AST SpaceMobile does not require users to purcha...

Kaveri Engine Ready for Inflight Testing

-
Image
India’s Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) has made advancements with the Kaveri engine, which is now ready for inflight testing, marking a very important moment in India’s pursuit of self-reliance in aerospace technology, particularly for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background of the Kaveri Engine The Kaveri engine development began in the late 1980s to power the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft. Initial designs faced technical challenges, leading to a shift in focus towards a modified “dry” version suitable for UAVs. Technical Specifications The dry version of the Kaveri engine generates thrust between 49-51 kN. This thrust level is adequate for UAVs, such as the Ghatak stealth drone. Future enhancements aim to incorporate an afterburner, potentially increasing thrust to 73-75 kN for more demanding applications. Extensive testing has been conducted, including trials in both Russia and India. The engine has successfully passed critical ground and high-altitude tests, demonstrat...

Recent assessments reveal alarming statistics regarding freshwater biodiversity. A study conducted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) indicates that nearly 25 per cent of the 23,496 species examined are threatened with extinction. This analysis marks the urgent need for conservation efforts in critical habitats. Extinction Statistics The study identified 4,294 species at high risk of extinction, which equates to approximately 18.3 per cent of the total assessed. The majority of these species are found in biodiversity hotspots such as Lake Victoria, Lake Titicaca, Sri Lanka’s wet zone, and India’s Western Ghats. These areas are home to unique species that exist nowhere else on the planet. India food delivery Historical Context of Extinctions Since the year 1500, there have been 89 confirmed extinctions, with an additional 178 suspected. The United States, Mexico, and the Philippines have reported the highest numbers of extinctions among freshwater species. Nota...
