The extracted olive pomace (EOP), which is an agro-industrial residue from the olive pomace extracting industries, is generated yearly in big amounts, mainly in the Mediterranean countries. EOP was subjected to an ultrasound assisted extraction with ethanol-water mixtures. The effect of main parameters, such as ethanol concentration (30\u201370% v\/v), ultrasound amplitude (20\u201380%), and extraction time (5\u201315 min), on the extraction of antioxidant compounds was evaluated according to a Box\u2013Behnken experimental design. The antioxidant capacity of the resulting extracts was determined by measuring their content in total phenolic compounds (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC), as well as their antioxidant activity by DPPH, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and ABTS assays. Considering the simultaneous maximization of these five responses, the optimal conditions were found to be 43.2% ethanol concentration, 70% amplitude, and 15 min. The ultrasound assisted extraction of EOP under these optimized conditions yielded an extract with a phenolic and flavonoid content (per gram of EOP) of 57.5 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) and 126.9 mg rutin equivalent (RE), respectively. Likewise, the values for DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assay (per gram of EOP) of 56.7, 139.1, and 64.9 mg Trolox equivalent, respectively were determined in the optimized extract.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/en12142679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,12]],"date-time":"2019-07-12T11:49:38Z","timestamp":1562932178000},"page":"2679","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction as a First Step in a Biorefinery Strategy for Valorisation of Extracted Olive Pomace"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3512-7971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Carlos","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Pati\u00f1o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, Universidad de Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1856-001X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irene","family":"G\u00f3mez-Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, Universidad de Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4152-8034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inmaculada","family":"Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, Universidad de Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Gull\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"given":"Encarnaci\u00f3n","family":"Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, Universidad de Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}]},{"given":"Mladen","family":"Brn\u010di\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Process Engineering, Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb, Pierottijeva 6, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1719-6049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eulogio","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, Universidad de Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Medina-Torres, N., Ayora-Talavera, T., Espinosa-Andrews, H., S\u00e1nchez-Contreras, A., and Pacheco, N.
