This study successfully extracted pectin and phenolic compounds from almond hulls by optimizing acidic extraction factors, and further utilized the solid residues for the production of pullulan and single-cell protein. The obtained pectin was found to be rich in galacturonic acid and exhibited strong antioxidant activity.
This research aimed to valorize almond hulls based on a zero-waste strategy towards sustainable agricultural developments for the recovery and production of valuable compounds. For this purpose, the potential to produce four products, including pectin (AHP), phenolic compounds (AHPC), pullulan (PUL), and single-cell protein (SCP), was examined. The acidic extraction factors were optimized using a Box-Behnken design for the simultaneous extraction of AHP and AHPC, and the obtained results showed that the maximum AHP (26.32% w/w) and AHPC (6.97% w/w) yields were achieved at 90 ?degrees C, pH of 1.4, 58.65 min, and liquid-solid ratio (LSR) of 20.13 v/w as the optimum point. In the next step, the solid residues that remained from the AHP and AHPC extraction process (PESR) were treated with cellulase enzyme and ultrasound and were used for simultaneous microbial production of PUL (34.29-24.56 g/L) and biomass containing SCP (19.31-13.44% w/w). Furthermore, the obtained results showed that AHP was low methylated (26.40%), rich in galacturonic acid (67.88%), and high in molecular weight (595.299 kDa). Also, the investigations of structural properties of AHP and PUL confirmed the presence of chemical structures of these polysaccharides in the formed supernatants. In addition, the AHPC showed considerable antioxidant activity compared with ascorbic acid (ASC) and BHA.
