The aim of this study was to obtain an extract from boldo leaves (Peumus boldus) with antioxidant properties, studying its bioaccessibility and potential application in the development of orange biscuits. The extraction conditions were defined by performing a factorial design, working with two variable factors: extraction time and solvent concentration (96° ethanol and water). The total phenolic compounds (TPC) content was determined by Folin-Ciocalteau method, and the antioxidant capacity (AC) against ABTS•+ radicals. On the selected extract, phenolic compounds were identified by UHPLC. To evaluate its application as a functional ingredient, TPC and AC were determined to orange biscuits with different extract content. Furthermore, bioaccessibility was determined by applying the standardized static in vitro digestion method Infogest. Results showed that 1 hour extraction time, using water as solvent at 70 º C had the highest content of total phenolic compounds (218.83 ± 25.91 mg eq GAE / g of extract) and the best antioxidant potential being the AC of 720.56 ± 15.00 μMol eq TE / g of extract. Gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin and catechin were identified as the main phenolic compounds on this sample. Regarding the use of boldo extract in the development of a functional orange biscuits, a significant increase in the content of TPC and AC was observed compared to a control biscuit (without extract addition). The study of bioaccessibility evidenced a reduction of 87% in the content of phenolic compounds. Thereby, further studies in strategies of encapsulation of the extract are needed. In conclusion, boldo extract was found to be an ingredient with potential functionality for its use in food processing.
