In alignment with initiatives aimed at transforming food waste into high-value resources, this study investigates a sustainable methodology to enhance the solubility of valuable bioactive compounds from raspberry pomace and enable their micellization using biocompatible polymers and deep eutectic solvents in a membrane micromixer system. Solid–liquid extraction was conducted employing 20% aqueous solutions of the targeted biocompatible solvents, followed by spectrophotometric quantification of total phenolics and anthocyanins. All tested biocompatible solvents extracted bioactives from freeze-dried raspberry pomace and enhanced their solubility relative to water, indicating their strong solubilization capacity. Activity coefficient modeling at infinite dilution further corroborated the affinity of the targeted solvents, affirming their appropriateness for solubilization and micellization processes. These findings establish a foundation for the integration of biocompatible solvents into membrane micromixing techniques to produce bioactive-loaded micelles with prospective applications in functional foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. The research underscores raspberry pomace waste as a promising raw material within circular bioeconomy strategies and highlights the significance of green extraction technologies in fostering sustainable transformation of food systems.
