Recent extraction techniques for natural products: microwave-assisted extraction and pressurised solvent extraction.

In the last 10 years there has been an increased interest in using techniques involving microwave-assisted extraction and pressurised solvent extraction in analytical laboratories. This review gives a brief overview of both methods, and reports on their application to the extraction of natural products. The influence of parameters such as the nature of the solvent and volume, temperature, time ...

Amyloid as a natural product

Amyloid fibrils, such as those found in Alzheimer's and the gelsolin amyloid diseases, result from the misassembly of peptides produced by either normal or aberrant intracellular proteolytic processing. A paper in this issue by Marks and colleagues (Berson et al., 2003) demonstrates that intra-melanosome fibrils are formed through normal biological proteolytic processing of an integral membrane...

Supercritical Co2 as Solvent for Extraction of Fungal Metabolites

Fungi produce a diverse array of metabolites – small molecules that are not necessary for normal growth or development. Some are exploited for their antibiotic and pharmaceutical activities; others are involved in disease interactions with plants or animals and are better known as mycotoxins. Supercritical fluid extraction, especially with supercritical CO2 as an environmentally safe extraction...
