Abstract
⺠Novel phase diagrams of aqueous two-phase systems composed of alcohol and salt were determined. ⺠The selective recovery of valuable chemical products (vanillin and ascorbic acid) from food samples was achieved. ⺠Vanillin is recovered in an alcohol-rich phase whereas l-ascorbic acid is recovered in a salt-rich phase. ⺠Based on the proposed method it is possible to improve the significance of food wastes by extracting added-value compounds.
