Extraction of Polyphenolic and Volatile Compounds from Cistus creticus Using Deep Eutectic Solvents and Pulsed Electric Fields

To date, many studies have been published, aiming to extract bioactive compounds from plants. Lately, research focuses on maximizing the extraction yield, using environmentally friendly techniques and solvents. In this study, of polyphenolic Cistus creticus is discussed. Extraction has carried out with water ethanol, employing most common approach. further enhance usage four deep eutectic solvents (DESs) also examined. an effort pulsed electric fields employed. According results, it was evident that use DESs made glycerol: choline chloride (2:1) increased yield by 75%, compared water. Moreover, enhanced approach, up 70%. When were combined, 14%, only. Finally, analyzed for its content in volatile compounds, found new could be extracted DESs.
