DOIAbstract
The extraction of bioactive compounds from malted quinoa flour using different water/ethanol mixtures under subcritical conditions was performed, and two mathematical models to describe the extraction kinetics were compared. The variables evaluated were extraction temperature, solvent mass flow rate and solvent composition, and the best conditions were selected using a screening design. The extract with the highest antioxidant activity with 95% inhibition of DPPH, 2084 mg GAE/100 g flour of total phenol content (TPC), and 2029 mg QCE/100 g flour of total flavonoid content (TFC) was obtained at 200 °C, 2.5 g/min and 25% ethanol. For these conditions, the two-site kinetic model had a better fit. When comparing these results with conventional ...
