The aim of this study is to evaluate hardy kiwi (Actinidia arguta L.) leaves, a crop waste, as a source of bioactive compounds with potential application in different industries, such as food industry. For this study, a new, green and sustainable extraction technique was employed: Multi-Frequency Multimode Modulated Technology. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC, respectively) as well as the antioxidant activity (through DPPH and FRAP assays) and the scavenging capacity against reactive species (O2·-, H2O2, NO·, ROO·, HOCl and ONOO·) were evaluated. The cell viability effects were assessed on keratinocytes and fibroblasts and the phytochemical profile was stablished by HPLC-DAD-EIS-MS.The extract displayed a high antioxidant activity (IC50 = 270.17 ± 69.94 μg/mL through scavenging activity on DPPH radicals and 3219.55 ± 34.29 μmol Fe2+/g dm in the FRAP assay). The TPC was higher than the one reported for fruit. On the contrary, the TFC is lower. Concerning the scavenging capacity against reactive species, the extract was more effective against O2·- and H2O2. Regarding the cell viability assays, the extract did not affect the cell viability on HaCaT and HFF cells, in concentrations below 500 μg/mL and 125 μg/mL, respectively. The HPLC-DAD-EIS-MS-based phytochemical profile reported the presence of chlorogenic acid and glycosylated quercetin as well as kaempferol derivatives.Overall, the present results suggest that A. arguta leaves are a promising by-product when extracted by this innovative technology, being a valuable source of bioactive compounds for different industries, particularly food industry.
