Abstract

Tobacco waste is a solid waste highly diverse in granulation and point of separation in the manufacturing process. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of eutectic solvents in the extraction of bioactive compounds from tobacco waste. Influence of extraction parameters on the properties of the obtained extracts (total phenol, antioxidant activity, chlorogenic acid, and rutin) has been determined. Using response surface methodology, optimal parameters were defined (30 min, 70 °C, 29.99 % water). The meaning of the proposed research is reflected in the maximum utilization of the tobacco by-product in order to obtain extracts that can be implemented in other products and processes.
