Introduction: Dried rhizomes of turmeric have been traditionally used as a medicinal herb, dietary spice, food source, preservative, and natural coloring agent in many Asian countries. This study aimed to develop the ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) method for curcumin from powder, evaluate efficiency, concentration, biological activities.Methods: The UAE effects were examined based on seve...

This study is the first to report the use of response surface methodology to improve phenolic yield and antioxidant activity of Acer truncatum leaves extracts (ATLs) obtained by ultrasonic-assisted extraction. The phenolic composition in ATLs extracted under the optimized conditions were characterized by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Solvent and extraction time were selected based on preliminary experiments...

This study was designed for the first time to improve phenolic yield and antioxidant activity of ultrasonic-assisted extraction from Acer truncatum leaves (ATL) using response surface methodology, and phenolic composition in ATL extracted under the optimized condition were characterized by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Solvent and extraction time were selected based on preliminary experiments, and a four-fa...

various novel techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction have been developed for the extraction of medicinal plants in order to shorten the extraction time, decrease the solvent consumption, increase the extraction yield, and enhance the quality of extracts. this review was conducted to introduce and compare the conventi...

Seeds of plants from Ipomoea genera contain numerous ergot alkaloids, including psychoactive ergine and ergometrine, and are often abused as so-called "legal highs." In this work, an analytical method for determination of ergine and ergometrine, and identification of other alkaloids was developed, optimized, and validated. Three extraction techniques, ultrasound-assisted extraction in bath, or ...

In order to reasonably use of the aristichthys nobilis scale resources, gelatin was extracted from the scales of aristichthys nobilis with the aid of ultrasonic method. The ultrasonic power, time, temperature and the ratio of material to solvent on extraction of gelatin from aristichthys nobilis scales were studied. The ultrasonic extraction conditions of gelatin from aristichthys nobilis scale...

Fruit residues (peel, seed, and pulp residues) have in their composition several compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids, fibres, lipids which, due to functional properties, these make them potential sources of natural additives. The great technological challenge is use the most suitable techniques for extracting compounds. In this paper, definitions, advantages, disadvantages conventional (...
