Abstract

Optimized extraction of antioxidants from Mucor circinelloides WJ11 (MCWJ11) biomass was studied. Storage, stability, composition and antioxidant properties in model food emulsion systems were also investigated. Both the extraction approach and solvent type were found to significantly (p<0.05) influence the recovery yield of antioxidants and their antioxidant capacity. The 90% aqueous binary solvent system with semi-polar solvents (i.e., acetone and ethanol) showed increased recovery levels of TPC, TFC and TCT, with the highest antioxidant bioactivity obtained using a pressurized liquid extraction. Ninety-day storage studies of microbial ethanolic extracts with accelerated storage/processing..
