The goal of this study was to investigate the most suitable kinetic models for pectin extraction by way of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and conventional heating extraction (CHE) with acid from melon peel. The ultrasound and acidic assisted extraction were performed on powdered melon peel in three different temperatures of 40-55-70°C and 50-70-90°C, respectively. It was observed that, in...

background and objectives: colocynthin is the major active secondary metabolite of colocynth, citrullus colocynthis (l.) schrad, which has been used in traditional and ethno medicine of many countries.  it could be considered as an active marker for quality control of colocynth and its herbal products. analysis and standardization of colocynth and its herbal preparations are a critical issue fo...

Plant extracts having an antiplatelet aggregation activity may be a potential choice for development of antiinflammatory drugs because of their natural origin. The extraction of bioactive compounds being the most crucial step in the commercial development of natural products it is essential to have rapid and efficient phytochemical extraction methods. Extracts of B. monnieri were prepared using...

In the present study, ultrasound-assisted extraction of oil from rice bran was investigated through response surface methodology (RSM), where process variables were amplitude level (50–100%) and sonication time (5-30 min). It was found that all process variables had significant (p<0.05) effects on the response variable. A central composite design (CCD) was used to determine the optimum process ...

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...

Microwave-assisted extraction was used for the extraction of alantolactone and isoalantolactone from Inula helenium. Effects of various experimental factors including ethanol concentration, particle size, microwave radiation time, the ratio of material to liquid and extraction temperature on yield of alantolactone and isoalantolactone were evaluated. The optimal extracting process of the alanto...

There is a great demand for developing efficient extraction methods in order to reduce extraction time and increase the yield and activity of functional antioxidants. The yields, activities, and extraction kinetics of antioxidants from the dry peel of pomegranate marc were studied using ultrasound-assisted extraction in continuous and pulsed modes and the results were compared with conventional...

Extraction and determination of naproxen from human plasma were performed using Vortex-Assisted Inverted Dispersive Liquid-Liquid MicroExtraction (VA−IDLLME) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The parameters affecting extraction recovery such as type and volume of extraction and disperser solvents, pH of sample solution, stirring rate, extraction time and salt addition were ...
