Characterization of pseudo-residues of annatto (Bixa orellana L.) and turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) focusing on industrial applications
The goal of this work was to evaluate the characteristics of the pseudo-residues generated from turmeric and annatto after the extraction processes supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) + pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and SFE + low-pressure solvent extraction (LPSE), respectively. The purpose is to demonstrate the potentialities of these coproducts as a source of alternative carbohydrates for industrial application or as new products precursors.
