Subcritical Water and Pressurised Ethanol Extractions for Maximum Recovery of Antioxidants from Orange Peel Herbal Dust with Evaluation of Its Pharmacological Potential Using In Silico and In Vitro Analysis.

ABSTRACT: This research explored the potential of pressurised liquid extraction techniques for valorising herbal orange peel dust (OPD) waste from the filter tea industry. A series of experiments were conducted, varying the temperature (120-220 °C) and solvent (water and 50% (v/v) ethanol), while pressure and time were kept constant. Afterward, the obtained extracts were analysed by LC-ESI-MS/MS for determining the chemical composition. The highest concentrations of the most dominant compounds, the antioxidants hesperidin (662.82 ± 22.11 mg/L) and naringin (62.37 ± 2.05 mg/L), were found at specific temperatures using subcritical water extraction. In silico studies indicated that these compounds could interact with sirtuin-1 and growth factor beta receptors, suggesting potential anti-a
