an air–assisted liquid–liquid microextraction method for the extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of some synthetic phenolic antioxidants in biological fluids followed by their determination by gas chromatography–flame ionization detection has been reported. in this method the target analytes are extracted into a few microliters of carbon tetrachloride (extraction solvent) from an a...

To investigate the extracted process of gossypol acetic acid (G-AA) from cottonseed soapstock and explore the improvement of its yield and purity, a novel ultrasoundassisted extraction and crystallization method was introduced to this process. Under the optimized conditions, preliminary G-AA with the yield of 1300 mg and the purity of 95.9% could be obtained from 100 g of fresh soapstock by ult...

Introduction: Fruit polysaccharides, essential health factors in foods, are widely present in edible fruits. Several methods for isolation of polysaccharide are available. Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) method is extensively used for separation of polysaccharides. Only little information is available about Psidium guajava L. Fruit Polysaccharide (PFP) and its extraction methods. Objective:...

a pressurized fluid extraction (pfe) method for the extraction of pistachio oil was developed using a modified supercritical fluid extractor. the supercritical fluid extraction apparatus was modified to be able to pump liquid solvent and co2 into the extraction vessel alternatively. the experimental results showed that the extraction yield was independent of the extraction pressure. it was also...

inulin is widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. it has been increasingly used in various foods due to its beneficial nutritional attributes as prebiotic ingredient. the helianthus tuberosus could be a source of inulin, but scarce studies about its extraction exist. ultrasound has attracted considerable interest in food science and technology due to its promising effects in food proce...

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and microwave-assisted hydrolysis (MAAH) were developed for the sample preparation of guava leaves prior to GC determination of quercetin and its glycosides. Ethanol was selected as the solvent. The optimum MAE temperature, particle size, solvent volume and MAE time are 120 degrees C, 40 - 60 mesh, 20 mL and 5 min, respectively; the optimum MAAH temperature a...

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 ...
