Optimized Extraction of Polyphenols from Kiwifruit Peels and Their Biological Activities.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Kiwifruit is a globally valued fruit. Its industrial processing produces a substantial amount of waste, particularly peels, which present an appealing potential source of bioactive compounds. This study focuses on optimizing the extraction of phenolics from kiwi peels using a water bath (WB) and infrared irradiation (IR) and assessing their biological activities. (2) Methods: Optimal conditions for polyphenol extraction from kiwifruit peels, in terms of temperature and time, were determined using Response Surface Methodology. Total phenolic content (TPC) was measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and antioxidant activity was assessed utilizing the DPPH method. Antibacterial activities against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, an
