Accelerated solvent extraction of spent lemon peels after limoncello production: chemometric optimization and characterization of the obtained extracts
Giulia Basile, Lucia De Luca, Antonio Russo, Martina Calabrese, Sabato Ambrosio, Stefano Conti, Raffaele Sacchi, Raffaele RomanoSpent lemon peels retain valuable compounds after limoncello production. Citric acid-assisted accelerated solvent extraction recovers a pectin-rich fraction and antioxidant phenolics, supporting by-product valorization.
