VALORIZATION OF EGYPTIAN FOOD BYPRODUCTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE NUTRACEUTICALS
This study was aimed to maximize the benefits of the use of by-products (oil cake) of olive fruits and black seeds after extraction of their fixed oils, rather than their use as animals feed or landfilling or composting. The cake of both seeds was assessed by HPLC for their main bioactive marker compounds (thymoquinone for black seed and oleuropein for olive fruit), to choose the best method for e...
