In this work, a fast and efficient microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was developed to extract main bioactive alkaloids from lotus plumue. To optimize MAE conditions, three main factors were selected using univariate approach experiments, and then central composite design (CCD). The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: methanol concentration of 65%, microwave power of 200 W, a...

Marine algae are becoming an interesting source of biologically active compounds with a promising application as nutraceuticals, functional food ingredients, and therapeutic agents. The effect drying (freeze-drying, oven-drying, shade-drying) extraction methods (shaking at room temperature, shaking in incubator 60 °C, ultrasound-assisted (UAE), microwave-assisted (MAE)) on the total phenolics c...

Abstract The demand for proteins is constantly increasing and green extraction methodologies are needed to achieve environmental sustainability goals. recovery of the by-products agri-food chain has also become a priority from circular economy perspective. Some still little exploited proteins, such as coffee by-products. In this work, various innovative technologies were applied recover protein...

Seaweed is a carbohydrate polymer of alginate, agar, and carrageenan which can be extracted purified as hydrocolloids. Each has different physicochemical properties hydrocolloids form gels when dispersed in water. To achieve targeted according to specific purposes functions, conventional extraction methods, several green methods for extracting seaweed have been proposed discussed. The method th...

A procedure was evaluated for the extraction of 16 free fatty acids (FFAs) from liver. Ultrasonic energy was used for the extraction and the variables affecting the extraction efficiency were investigated. The best conditions for extraction were: 2 mL isopropanol-n-hexane (3:2, v/v), 20 min and 80 w. Recoveries ranging from 87.00 to 120.00% were obtained under the optimum conditions, and the li...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to compare three capsaicin extraction methods: Shoxlet, Ultrasound-assisted Extraction (UAE), and Shaker-assisted Extraction (SAE) from Habanero pepper, CNPH 15.192. MATERIALS AND METHODS The different parameters evaluated were alcohol degree, time extraction, and solid-solvent ratio using response surface methodology (RSM). RESULTS The three par...

Due to the general population awareness about specific health hazards of synthetic chemical dyes, natural colorant materials have been gaining attention in past several years. Among them, ?-carotene is widely used as a soluble orange–red pigment food industry, while also presenting medical care benefits. Thus, considerable efforts dedicated development an efficient serial, cost effective and su...

Hesperidin is abundantly present as a flavanone glycoside in citrus fruits. The peels, seeds, pulp, and cell membrane residues contain high amount of hesperidin. It has received scientific momentum lately it offers several health benefits upon consumption, possesses antioxidant, anti-hypocholesteric, antitumor, anticancer, antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic propertie...
