چکیده
Resumen Context: There is a wide variety of methods for obtaining of plant extracts that enable a good yield of bioactive metabolites. For several years, extractive techniques have been perfected for obtaining natural extracts with powerful pharmacological properties. Aims: To determine the influence of various extraction methods (infusion, decoction, microwave, maceration with heat and agitation, and constant heat and agitation) on the content of solids, phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of marine angiosperms Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König (Hyrocharitacea) and Syringodium filiforme kützing (Cymodoceaceae). Methods: The soluble solids content was determined by the gravimetric method; total phenolic content, using Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the antioxidant capacity by 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Results: Results showed the effectiveness of extraction by decoction for T. testudinum and by microwave for S. filiforme, among the methods that use water as the extraction solvent. In the case those that use the hydroalcoholic mixture as solvent extraction, maceration with agitation and heat extraction showed the higher yields of soluble solids and total polyphenols, as well as a higher antioxidant activity for both species. Conclusions: Results showed the effectiveness of extraction by decoction for T. testudinum and by microwave for S. filiforme, among the methods that use water as extraction solvent. In the case those that use hydroalcoholic mixture as solvent extraction, maceration with agitation and heat extraction showed the higher yields of soluble solids and total polyphenols, as well as a higher antioxidant activity for both species. Contexto: Existe una gran variedad de métodos para la obtención de extractos vegetales que posibiliten un buen rendimiento de metabolitos bioactivos. A lo largo de algunos años, se han perfeccionado las técnicas extractivas que han permitido obtener extractos naturales con propiedades farmacológicas potentes. Objetivos: Determinar la influencia de varios métodos de extracción (infusión, decocción, microondas, maceración con agitación y calor y agitación y calor constante) sobre el contenido de sólidos, polifenoles y actividad antioxidante de las angiospermas marinas Syringodium filiforme Kützing (Cymodoceaceae) and Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König (Hyrocharitacea). Métodos: El contenido de sólidos solubles y de fenoles totales fue determinado usando el método de Folin-Ciocalteu. La actividad antioxidante fue determinada por el método 2,2-difenil-1 picrilhidazilo (DPPH). Resultados: Los resultados muestran la efectividad de la extracción por decocción para T. testudinum y de la extracción por microondas para S. filiforme entre los métodos que utilizan el agua como disolvente de extracción. En el caso de los métodos que utilizan la mezcla hidroalcohólica como disolvente de extracción, la extracción por maceración con agitación y calor mostró los mayores rendimientos de sólidos solubles y polifenoles totales, así como una mejor actividad antioxidante. Conclusiones: Para la preparación de extractos de Thalassia testudinum y Syringodium filiforme, la mezcla etanol/agua es la mejor opción para la extracción de compuestos fenólicos totales. Para la extracción de ambas especies la maceración seguida por agitación y calor muestra ser la opción más interesante con vistas a obtener el mayor contenido de polifenoles y la mejor capacidad antioxidante.
