Focused open-vessel microwave-assisted extraction (FOV-MAE), closed-vessel microwave-assisted extraction (CV-MAE), and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) were used for extraction before determination of organochlorine compounds (polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT, toxaphene, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorocyclohexanes, and dieldrin) in cod liver and fish fillets. Wet samples were extract...

Abstract A rapid microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was established to extract commercially important salidroside from dry plant materials of Rhodiola crenulata . Several parameters such as time, solid/liquid ratio, temperature and solvent concentration were investigated for efficient extraction. The estimated maximum ratio based on parameter optimization using response surface methodol...

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction was employed for highly efficient separation of aroma oil from raspberry seeds. A central composite design with two variables and five levels was employed and effects of process variables of sonication time and extraction temperature on oil recovery and quality were investigated. Optimal conditions predicted by response surface methodology were sonication time of ...

The valorization of agro-industrial waste streams and residues for the production antioxidant compounds is a good strategy circular economy approaches. However, to demonstrate its suitability operational feasibility, it necessary develop environmental assessments ensure effectiveness strategy. In this sense, large-scale simulation has been developed, obtaining ten different scenarios in which b...

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 this study, ultrasound- and enzyme-assisted extractions of albumin (water-soluble protein group) from defatted pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) seed powder were compared. Both advanced extraction techniques strongly increased the albumin yield in comparison with conventional extraction. The extraction rate was two times faster in the ultrasonic extraction than in the enzymatic extraction. However, t...

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is widely employed in the analysis and the extraction of active compounds from plants. This review summarizes the research done during the last decade on the MAE of active ingredients from plants. Advances and modifications to improve the performance of MAE are presented and discussed in detail. Modified MAE such as vacuum microwave-assisted extraction (VMAE)...

BACKGROUND Hydrodistillation (HD) and steam-distillation, or solvent extraction methods of essential oils have some disadvantages like thermal decomposition of extracts, its contamination with solvent or solvent residues and the pollution of residual vegetal material with solvent which can be also an environmental problem. Thus, new green techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction and m...

The analytical use of ultrasound-generated emulsations has recently found a growing interest to improve efficiency in liquid-liquid microextraction since they increase the mass transfer between the two immiscible phases implied and leads to emulsification. Thus, dispersed droplets can act as efficient liquid-liquid microextraction in continuous phase, and later they can be readily separated by ...
