Ultrasound-assisted extraction of polyphenols from native plants in the Mexican desert

Optimization and Kinetic Studies of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction on Polyphenols from Satsuma Mandarin (Citrus Unshiu Marc.) Leaves

The present article includes the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) of Citrus unsiu Marc. leaves rich in polyphenols. The best possible combinations of solvent, pH of the media, solvent/solid ratio, extraction time, extraction temperature and particle size were obtained for the maximum extraction of Total Phenolic Compounds (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Compounds (TFC) by us...

Effect of Ethanol Concentration in Ultrasound Assisted Extraction of Glycyrrhizic Acid from Licorice Root

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of capsaicinoids from peppers.

The development of a rapid, reproducible and simple method of extraction of the majority capsaicinoids (nordihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin) present in hot peppers by the employment of ultrasound-assisted extraction is reported. The study has covered four possible solvents for the extraction (acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol and water), the op...

Microwave-assisted extraction of polyphenols from Camellia oleifera fruit hull.

The abundant fruit hulls of tea-oil tree (Camellia oleifera) are still underutilized and wastefully discaded to pollute the environment. In order to solve this problem and better utilize the fruit hulls of C. oleifera, a microwave-assisted extraction system was used to extract their polyphenols using water as the extraction solvent. A central composite design (CCD) was used to monitor the effec...

Optimisation of ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from Flomidoschema parviflora

Background & Aim: Restrictions on the use of synthetic antioxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are being imposed because of their carcinogecity . Experimental: In this investigation, optimization of phenolic extraction process from methanolic (80%) extract (v/v) of  Flomideschema parviflorum through response surface methodology by Fulin Ci...
