The study shows the changes of total polyphenol compounds and antioxidant activities of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb root extract during the preservation time by freezing method. In addition, the treatment of initially raw materials by drying process also affects strongly total polyphenol compounds and antioxidant activity. Total phenolic compounds were determined by the Folin Ciocalteu method a...

In this paper, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of oxymatrine from Sophora flavescens were studied by HPLC-photodiode array detection. Effects of several experimental parameters, such as concentration of extraction solvent, ratio of liquid to material, microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time on the extraction efficiencies of oxymatrine were evaluated. The optimal extract...

A modeling technique based on absorbed microwave energy was proposed to model microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of antioxidant compounds from cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) leaves. By adapting suitable extraction model at the basis of microwave energy absorbed during extraction, the model can be developed to predict extraction profile of MAE at various microwave irradiation power (100-600 W) and ...

An ultrasound and microwave assisted alternant extraction method (UMAE) was applied for extracting dihydroquercetin (DHQ) from Larix gmelinii wood. This investigation was conducted using 60% ethanol as solvent, 1:12 solid to liquid ratio, and 3 h soaking time. The optimum treatment time was ultrasound 40 min, microwave 20 min, respectively, and the extraction was performed once. Under the optim...

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is an important plant with homology of medicine and food. It has rich nutritional medicinal properties. used as a traditional Chinese therapeutic functions invigorating spleen, relieving cough, eliminating food, phlegm, dispersing blood stasis, promoting circulation. This review comprehensively summarized flavonoids from sea L.), including extraction meth...

Plant extraction has existed for a long time and is still of interest. Due to technological improvements, it now possible obtain extracts with higher yields. While global yield major parameter because assesses the performance, can be interest focus on particular compounds (specific metabolites) enrich sample avoid unwanted ones, instance primary metabolites (carbohydrates, triacylglycerols). Th...

The Thelephora ganbajun mushroom has been found to be a potential rich source of natural antioxidants. In this study, an ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) technique together with GRAS (generally recognized as safe) solvents (ethanol and water) was used to maximize the extraction of antioxidants from Thelephora ganbajun. Five extraction parameters (ethanol concentration, solvent to solid rati...
