Eggplant Byproduct Phenolic Compounds with Extraction Optimization and Cytotoxicity Data

Eggplant processing generates large amounts of unexploited by-products rich in bioactive compounds. This dataset provides a comprehensive characterization of phenolic compounds, particularly chlorogenic acids, from eggplant pulp, peel, calyx, and leaves. It includes results from optimized non-conventional extraction techniques, antioxidant capacity assays, cytotoxicity assessments in Caco-2 cells, and polyphenol stability monitoring over four weeks.

Use Cases

• Optimizing extraction processes for chlorogenic acids based on the comparison of microwave- and ultrasound-assisted techniques.
• Evaluating the antioxidant potential of agricultural by-products based on spectrophotometric assay results.
• Assessing the safety of plant extracts for food applications based on cytotoxicity data from Caco-2 cells.
• Studying the stability of phenolic compounds over time based on four-week monitoring data of 5-CQA and its isomers.

Strengths

• Characterization covers multiple eggplant parts: pulp, peel, calyx, and leaves.
• Extraction techniques were optimized using a Design of Experiments approach.
• Polyphenol profiles were determined by HPLC-PDA and tentatively identified by UHPLC-HRMS/MS.
• Includes functional and safety assessments via antioxidant capacity and cytotoxicity tests.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
