Abstract

Abstract: Pomegranate peels are important source of polyphenols with remarkable interest in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. An improved extraction of total polyphenolic com-pounds (TPC) from pomegranate peels by Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) was achieved. A Box Hunter & Hunter (BHH) followed by Central Composite Design (CCD) were performed to assess the effect of the process variables on TPC release. The statistic designs indicate that the best TPC extraction (234.85 mg GAE/gdm) by means of SSF occurs, at 42°C, 50 % moisture, pH 5.0, mineral solution (g/L): NaNO3 (3.83), KH2PO4 (1.52), MgSO4 (4.66) and KCl (1.52) at 36 h. At the best fer-mentation conditions, TPC (248.78±1.24 mgGAE/gdm) increased 5.96-fold than values previously reported and antioxidant activity [AA] increased 5.81-fold than the value obtained before the SSF optimization. High-valued citric acid, α and β punicalin, α and β punicalagin, punigluconin, gal-loyl-HHDP hexoside and ellagic acid molecules were identified. The increased extraction of TPC by SSF provides a suitable alternative for pomegranate peels valorization through the re-covery of molecules with high added value with potential use in food, pharmacy and cosmetic industries; a diversification in the use of food agroindustry by-products is obtained as approach to the circular economy model through biotechnological processes.
