description The synthesis and characterization of copper chlorophyllin (Cu-Chl) presents great potential for industrial applications, especially as a natural food colorant. This study evaluated the extraction of chlorophyll from leaves and the synthesis of Cu-Chl, achieving a yield of 12.33% from spinach leaves. The solubility of Cu-Chl was enhanced through encapsulation, a crucial process for its efficient use in the food industry. The synthesis of Cu-Chl was confirmed by color changes, while the encapsulated Cu-Chl was characterized using UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy. FT-IR analysis showed significant interactions between Cu-Chl and the encapsulation materials, confirming the effectiveness of the process. Encapsulation with maltodextrin and whey protein isolate significantly improved the solubility and stability of Cu-Chl, which are critical factors for its practical application. Attempts were made to isolate chlorophylls using column chromatography, providing information about the behavior of pigments in different polarity systems. Although complete isolation was not initially achieved, a subsequent method successfully isolated chlorophylls a and b, confirmed by TLC and UV-Vis. The encapsulated chlorophyll a showed improved solubility, and its FT-IR analysis revealed interactions with the encapsulation materials. This study suggests that the synthesis of Cu-Chl and the encapsulation of chlorophyll could transform agricultural waste rich in chlorophylls into high-value products, reducing the environmental impacts of practices such as open burning. Encapsulation is an effective strategy for improving the solubility of Cu-Chl and chlorophylls, paving the way for broader industrial applications. It is recommended to optimize extraction and synthesis processes and scale up production to maximize the industrial and environmental benefits of this technology.

Este estudio evaluó la extracción de clorofila de hojas y la síntesis de Cu-Chl, logrando un rendimiento del 12.33% en la síntesis a partir de hojas de espinaca. La solubilidad de Cu-Chl se mejoró mediante encapsulación, un proceso crucial para su uso eficiente en la industria alimentaria. La síntesis de Cu-Chl se confirmó mediante cambios en el color, mientras que la caracterización de la Cu-Chl encapsulada se realizó mediante espectroscopía UV-Vis y FT-IR. El análisis FT-IR mostró interacciones significativas entre Cu-Chl y los materiales de encapsulación, confirmando la efectividad del proceso. La encapsulación con maltodextrina y aislado de proteína de suero mejoró significativamente la solubilidad y estabilidad de Cu-Chl, factores críticos para su aplicación práctica. Se realizaron intentos para aislar las clorofilas mediante cromatografía en columna, proporcionando información sobre el comportamiento de los pigmentos en diferentes sistemas de polaridad. Aunque no se logró un aislamiento completo inicialmente, un método posterior permitió aislar clorofilas a y b, confirmadas por TLC y UV-Vis. La clorofila a encapsulada demostró una solubilidad mejorada y su análisis por FT-IR reveló interacciones con los materiales de encapsulación. Este estudio sugiere que la síntesis de Cu-Chl y la encapsulación de clorofila podrían transformar desechos agrícolas ricos en clorofilas en productos de alto valor, reduciendo los impactos ambientales de prácticas como la quema abierta. La encapsulación es una estrategia efectiva para mejorar la solubilidad de Cu-Chl y las clorofilas, lo que abre el camino para aplicaciones industriales más amplias. Se recomienda optimizar los procesos de extracción y síntesis, así como escalar la producción para maximizar los beneficios industriales y medioambientales de esta tecnología.Químico/aUniversidad de Investigación de Tecnología Experimental YachayOrdoñez Vivanco, Paola ElizabethDe Lima Eljuri, Lola María2024-12-16T17:17:01Z2024-12-16T17:17:01Z2024-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesishttp://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/handle/123456789/878enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositorio Universidad Yachay Techinstname:Universidad Yachay Techinstacron:Yachay2024-12-16T20:37:40Zoai:repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec:123456789/878Institucionalhttps://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.yachaytech.edu.ec/https://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/oaiEcuador...opendoar:102842024-12-16T20:37:40falseInstitucionalhttps://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.yachaytech.edu.ec/https://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador...opendoar:102842024-12-16T20:37:40Repositorio Universidad Yachay Tech - Universidad Yachay Techfalse
