Abstract Conversion of biomass (particularly waste of agricultural and food products) into high-added value compounds has been an attractive research field recently. Therefore, developing an alternative downstream process to recover the relevant biologically active components is of great significance. In this study, waste of sour cherry has been used as a source of phenolic compounds rich in anthocyanins. As an advanced alternative technology, automatic solvent extraction has been used to recover phenolics from sour cherry peels. The process factors (immersion time, washing time, solid mass and solvent concentration) of this novel method were optimized by face-centered composite design of response surface method. Chromatographic analysis (HPLC) was also used to measure the major anthocyanin (cyanidin-3-glucoside) of the samples. The process was optimized in order to maximize the dependent factors such as total phenolic and anthocyanin content extractions measured spectrophotometrically. Maximum predicted TPC and TA yields on optimized conditions were 119.63 mg GAE/g FM and 24.31 mg cyanidin-3glucoside/g FM, respectively (23.79 min immersion time, 52.21 min washing time, 0.47 g solid mass, 80% solvent concentration). A stability assay under different conditions (light, dark, ambient condition, refrigerator and deep freezer) has been also performed in order to monitor the stability of bioactivity profile (total phenolic and anthocyanin contents and cyanidin-3glucoside level). All of the independent parameters (immersion time, washing time, solid mass and solvent concentration) were significant at the level of p > 0.05. The solvent concentration was identified to be the most significant parameter on the yields obtained by automatic solvent extraction. Keywords Automatic solvent extraction . Sour cherry peels .

1 Introduction Growing search for cost-effective, regenerable and copious polyphenol sources is attracting worldwide attention. Unfortunately, the food manufacturing sectors play a major part in the augmentation of food by-products with a high nutritional content [1]. The mentioned wastes can bring several

problems to environment, human health and economy. Food by-product accumulation can be taken advantage of numerous rewarding purposes in addition to minimizing this wastes with a disincentive protection [2]. Utilization of food by-products in a raft of applications that are included in our daily life is
