A variety of extraction procedures were evaluated for the extraction of arsenic and other analytes from lobster tissue samples using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. Soxhlet, room temperature mixing, sonication, microwave assisted, supercritical carbon dioxide and subcritical water extractions were evaluated for a variety of solvent systems and optimum conditions...

Our earlier work showed that the stability of the bioactive compounds gastrodin (GA) and vanillyl alcohol (VA) in Gastrodia elata Blume behaved differently with varying compositions of water-ethanol using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) at room temperature. To have a better understanding of the extraction process of these thermally labile compounds under elevated temperature conditions, pre...

Background and aim: Extraction of natural antioxidant compounds has recently attracted the attention of researchers. Almond is one of the native products of  Iran, which annually during the process of production , large volumes of waste is achieved. The aim of this study is investigating the impact of two parameters (time and ethanol percentage) on the extraction of phenol and ...

Interests in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their derivatives (Nitrated PAHs, Oxygenated Azaarenes Sulfur Heterocycles) have been growing because of toxicity. The first part this review gathers information on sampling Compounds (PACs) airborne particulate matter (PM), dust soot, extraction thanks to solvent methods, sample clean-up for further analysis. Atmospheric PM is generally ...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction is evaluated as a simpler and more effective alternative to conventional extraction methods for the extraction of bioactive compounds from natural product. This study investigated the use of ultrasound-assisted extraction to extract three dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans, including tracheloside, hemislienoside, and arctiin from Hemistepta lyrata. Factors such as extr...

The aim of present study was to compare the effects of ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted extraction with solvent extraction method on antioxidant activities of jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) leaf extracts in stability of sunflower oil during deep frying. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH˙) radical scavenging and β...

An efficient cold-mechanical/sonic-assisted extraction technique was developed for extraction of genipin from genipap (Genipa americana) peel. Ultrasound assisted extraction (285 W, 24 kHz) was performed at 5, 10 and 15 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min. After cold-extraction, genipin was separated from pectin and proteins by aid of fungal pectinesterase. The maximum yield of non-cross-linked genipin was...

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) considered as “green” solvents offer an efficient, safe, sustainable, and cost effective method alternative to conventional extraction while microwave assisted extraction (MAE) is a convenient, rapid, environmental friendly and efficient technique. The combination of NADESs with MAE was applied in this study for the recovery of phenolic compounds from oli...

Antioxidant activity and polyphenols were determined by Microwave assisted extraction technique (MAE) from nonedible parts of Indian tropical fruits. Antioxidant activity was performed using FRAP, ABTS and DPPH assays. Nine polyphenols were quantified by LC-MS/MS. Results showed that skin extract of A. comosus contained highest value for all antioxidant assays. Polyphenolic compounds were found...
