recently, subcritical water extraction (swe) has been well known as a green technology for extraction of bioactive compounds from plants. in this study, subcritical water extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction (uae) and shaker solvent extraction (sse) were compared for extraction of phenolic compounds from fig (ficuscarica) pulp and skin. antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated u...

in this study, microwave-assisted solvent extraction (mase) was used to recover oil residues from pomace olive using acidic hexane. results obtained demonstrated that oil extraction yield increased with time, the amount of acetic acid in hexane and power radiation. for both radiation powers used (170 and 510w), the optimal extraction time and most interesting content of acetic acid in hexane ar...

Microwave-assisted hydro distillation MAHD of eucalyptus citriodora. oil was investigated and a comparison was made with conventional hydro distillation. For MAHD, three process parameters; Microwave power, Extraction time and duration of dryness of sample were selected for the extraction. MAHD resulted in a shorter extraction time and better quality of oil compared to that in conventional hydr...

The ‘Bravo de Esmolfe’ apple (BE) is rich in antioxidants and represents one of the most important traditional cultivars Portugal. A large amount non-compliant BE, with no market value, it generated every year. Thus, an effort to find value-added solutions utmost importance. For first time, green extraction (microwave-assisted-extraction (MAE) ultrasound-assisted-extraction (UAE)) were compared...

In this paper, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of oxymatrine from Sophora flavescens were studied by HPLC-photodiode array detection. Effects of several experimental parameters, such as concentration of extraction solvent, ratio of liquid to material, microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time on the extraction efficiencies of oxymatrine were evaluated. The optimal extract...

Hesperidin is abundantly present as a flavanone glycoside in citrus fruits. The peels, seeds, pulp, and cell membrane residues contain high amount of hesperidin. It has received scientific momentum lately it offers several health benefits upon consumption, possesses antioxidant, anti-hypocholesteric, antitumor, anticancer, antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic propertie...

The aim of this work is to compare the extraction efficiencies of microwave and conventional isolation of mangiferin from Mangifera indica L. The parameters studied, which might affect the extraction efficiency were extraction time, solvent composition and microwave power. The conventional heating 21 h provided 5.23 % yield of mangiferin and by microwave heating at 210 W for 56 min, the yield w...

Seaweed is a carbohydrate polymer of alginate, agar, and carrageenan which can be extracted purified as hydrocolloids. Each has different physicochemical properties hydrocolloids form gels when dispersed in water. To achieve targeted according to specific purposes functions, conventional extraction methods, several green methods for extracting seaweed have been proposed discussed. The method th...

The presence of alkali cation adductions of oligonucleotides commonly deteriorates matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectra. Thus, desalting is required for oligonucleotide samples prior to MALDI MS analysis in order to prevent the mass spectra from developing poor quality. In this paper, we demonstrate a new approach to extract traces of oligonucleotides from aqueous so...
