In this study we developed a new extract, by the use of conventional solid-solvent extraction and a food-grade hydroalcoholic solvent, rich in phenolic and triterpenoid components from almon hull to be employed as functional ingredient in food, pharma and cosmetic sectors. Two autochthonous Sicilian cultivars (‘Pizzuta’ and ‘Romana’) and an Apulian modern cultivar (‘Tuono’) have been tested for the production of the extract. Results showed that the two Sicilian varieties, and in particular the ‘Romana’ one, present the best characteristics to obtain extracts rich in triterpenoids and hydroxycinnamic acids, useful for the production of nutraceutical supplements. About triterpenoids, the performance of the hydroalcoholic extraction process allowed to never go below 46% of recovery for ‘Pizzuta’ samples, with significantly higher percentages of recovery for ‘Tuono’ and ‘Romana’ extracts (62.61% and 73.13%, respectively) while hydroxycinnamic acids were recovered at higher recovery rate (84%, 89% and 88% for ‘Pizzuta’, ‘Romana’ and ‘Tuono’ extracts, respectively). Invitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities exerted by the extracts showed promising results with P. aeruginosa being the most affected strain, inhibited up to the 1/8 dilution with ‘Romana’ extract. All the three tested extracts exerted an antimicrobial action up to 1/4 dilutions but ‘Romana’ and ‘Pizzuta’ extracts always showed the greatest efficacy. |
