    This study is the first application of a combined sonication and enzyme extraction technique as green technology to recover biological compounds from the peel of red-fleshed dragon fruit, utilizing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network-Genetic Algorithm (ANN-GA). The peel of dragon fruit had sonication pretreatment for 10–30 min (X<inf>1</inf>), followed by hydrolysis using 0.1 % Pectinex Ultra SP-L enzyme at temperatures ranging from 30 to 60 °C (X<inf>2</inf>) for a duration of 60–120 min (X<inf>3</inf>). The Box-Behnken design was employed to structure the experiment. The levels of polyphenol, betacyanin, and antioxidant activity in the extract were utilized to assess the efficacy of the extraction method. The research demonstrated a substantial enhancement in efficiency by the application of ultrasound pretreatment during the enzymatic hydrolysis of dragon fruit peel. The study identified the ideal parameters for the extraction process using the ANN-GA approach, which include an ultrasonic duration of 27.5 min, an enzyme incubation temperature of 47.1 °C, and an enzyme incubation duration of 135.1 min. Under these conditions, the extract exhibited a total phenolic content of 165.34 mg GAE/g peel weight, betacyanin content of 131.87 mg/100 g peel weight, and an antioxidant activity of 0.92 mg TE/100 g by using DPPH radical scavenging activity assay. The research demonstrated that dual treatment enhances the extraction process of chemicals from by-products, particularly dragon fruit peel. The study established a foundation for future research on the utilization and integration of effective extraction technologies to enhance the quality of extracts for use in the food sector.

    The current research aims to predict and optimize process conditions to produce germinated VD20 with a high rate of germination and antioxidant properties. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to build models with three factors [soaking time (ST: 4–6 h), germination time (GT: 18–22 h), and germination temperature (33–37 °C)] and three replications. The data set from the BBD experiment was used to create an artificial neural network (ANN) model that estimated the change in responses by variable factors. The ANN model was extremely accurate, with an overall correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9997 and showed the best fit with actual and predicted data. The germination conditions were further optimized using multi-objective RSM, which revealed that the optimal conditions were ST of 5.34 h, GT of 20.78 h, and germination temperature of 35.6 °C. The experimental validation revealed a high level of agreement between the results of the BBD models forecasted and the actual experimental values. The ANN-coupled BBD methodology is a promising hybrid method for modeling, forecasting, and optimizing the impact of process conditions on the quality of germinated grain. In addition, the raw and germinated VD20 rice were analyzed for their techno-functional properties, estimated glycemic index (eGI), and FTIR. Lower peak viscosity, values of breakdown and setback, and phytic acid were found after rice was germinated. The result revealed that high antioxidant content and activity, which were confirmed by the FTIR pattern, and low digestion behaviors (eGI = 64.23) were the attributes of the germinated product. Furthermore, the results of pasting, thermal, swelling power, and solubility showed the wide range of further application of this material, which should receive more consideration in future research.
