Lipidomics-Guided Ultrasound-Assisted Ethanol Extraction of Avocado Pulp and Evaluation of Bioactive Properties.

ABSTRACT: Avocados are a valuable source of lipids with potential applications in food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products, all requiring food-grade and environmentally friendly extraction methods. Though often enjoyed fresh, avocado pulp is also processed for oil. However, conventional extraction techniques can compromise pulp lipid composition, triggering the need for alternative methods that preserve pulp lipid integrity and meet industrial sustainability standards. Ultrasound probe-assisted extraction using ethanol, a green solvent, could be a sustainable alternative to extract lipids from avocado pulp. In the present study, lipid profiles from Hass Portuguese avocado pulp were characterized using C18 reversed-phase HPLC-MS/MS, and their biological activities were evaluated. Folch-like extract
