Abstract

Key features of the deep eutectic solvent-microwave assisted simultaneous extraction of polyphenols and delignification pretreatment of chestnut shell waste are presented.

Highlights

  • Microwave (MW) assisted chemical processes are nowadays a mature and well-established research field

  • The partial least squares regression (PLS) analysis of the solid residues obtained after extraction in water for 30 min at 65 °C (23.1 ± 0.9% hemicellulose, 38.5 ± 1.9% cellulose, 19.3 ± 0.8% lignin) or Choline Chloride (ChCl)–oxalic acid (23.8 ± 1.1%, hemicellulose, 39.0 ± 1.9% cellulose, 19.2 ± 1.1% lignin) highlighted that these solvents are less efficient for the delignification of biomasses, given that these values are very close to those determined in raw chestnut shell waste (CSW)

  • The yield of polyphenols isolated from CSW by the MWDA extraction process was substantially improved using a ChCl– oxalic acid dihydrate deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in comparison to other acid-based ChCl DESs
