This work studied an advanced valorization of CBW through a sequential process. In a first step, awide range of phenolic compounds were analyzed in CBWs, identifying the most interesting ones for commercialpurposes. Furthermore, the phenolic fraction was separated by green techniques and the supernatant studied todetect and quantify remained by-products, highlighting low molecular weight polyphenols together with significantconcentrations of carbohydrates made up of glucose, galactose and arabinose among others. Inconclusion, we propose a methodology that offers a quick and efficient way to analyze the most important byproductsin CBWs and a design of a recovery and purification process by eco-friendly and efficient techniques.
