In this study, the ultrasound-assisted extraction of polysaccharides (PSA) from Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine (PRPCA) was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The structural characteristics of PSA were analyzed by UV-vis spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high performance gel permeation chromatography and high performance liquid chromatogr...

The possibility to improve the nutritional value of olive oil by enriching it in phenolic compounds from olive leaves (e.g., oleuropein) by ultrasonic maceration was studied. The experimental design used led to the following optimal extraction conditions: ultrasonic power of 60 W, temperature of 16°C and sonication duration of 45 min. The high total phenolic content (414.3 ± 3.2mg of oleuropein...

Flavonoid are bioactive compounds that can be found in moringa leaves. Extraction of using conventional method requires a long time and low extract yields. This study was aimed to determine the optimum process conditions sequential microwave-ultrasonic-assisted extraction (MUAE) total flavonoids (TF) from moringa. The response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken design (BBD) employed ope...

tio2 /fe3o4 nanocomposites with various tio2:fe3o4 ratios were synthesized by an ultrasonic-assisted deposition-precipitation method and their uv-light decolorization of congo dye and magnetic separation were investigated. the nanocomposite samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), surface area analayzer (bet) and fourier transform infrare...

flavonoids, are a large class of polyphenols, with more than 4000 combinations. they have an antioxidant role in plant photosynthesis and in the human body they optimally act as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and protector of the heart. quercetin is in the flavonol group that is used to fight protection specifically against viruses and cancer cells. in this study, comparison of e...
