Subcritical Water and Conventional Extraction of Phenolic compounds from Onion Skin Waste: Implications in Diabetes Disease

Abstract

Although extracts obtained by CE resulted to be more active than the SW extract in terms of enzyme inhibition, the latter did not interfere with α-amylase activity, whose inhibition is associated with numerous side effects. SW extraction has been proven to be a useful technology to obtain extracts from OSW with antidiabetic properties because of its ability to inactivate enzymes involved in carbohydrates digestion.
