various novel techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction have been developed for the extraction of medicinal plants in order to shorten the extraction time, decrease the solvent consumption, increase the extraction yield, and enhance the quality of extracts. this review was conducted to introduce and compare the conventi...

ABSTRACT: In this study, an analytical method is developed to determine 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in olive and refined pomace olive oils using HPLC coupled with a fluorescence detector. The standardised method of ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction consisted of liquid–liquid extraction with organic solvent and purification on C18 and Florisil bonded-phase cartridges was modi...

Background and objectives: Colchicum kurdicum (Bornm.) Stef. is a flowering perennial monocotyledon plant that has many important bioactive compounds especially colchicine and colchicine derivatives. In this study, the ultrasound-assisted acidic-solvent extraction method coupled with response-surface method was presented as the successful method for large scale extract...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to compare three capsaicin extraction methods: Shoxlet, Ultrasound-assisted Extraction (UAE), and Shaker-assisted Extraction (SAE) from Habanero pepper, CNPH 15.192. MATERIALS AND METHODS The different parameters evaluated were alcohol degree, time extraction, and solid-solvent ratio using response surface methodology (RSM). RESULTS The three par...

It is reported that salvianolic acid B, a bioactive phenolic compound contained in the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibits a much stronger activity in free radical scavenging and antioxidance than those of vitamin E. When a conventional refluxing method is adopted to extract salvianolic acid B from the root, in which the materials are subjected to higher temperature and longer time, the yield...

introduction: tea (camellia sinensis), is the most widely beverage after water across the world. the most important chemical composition in tea is phenolic compounds (catechins) that have antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties and are benefited for cardiovascular disease. there are two major kinds of tea, black tea and green tea. green tea, is originated in china and dates back to several ...

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...

Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is a popular herb which is native to the Mediterranean region and cultivated worldwide. Sage is an important source of antioxidants used as preservatives and has wider implications for the dietary intake of natural antioxidants.1,2 This antioxidant effect has been attributed to the main phenolic components, caffeic acid dimer – rosmarinic acid1 and flavonoids, being...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of solvent and ultrasound-assisted extraction methods with supercritical fluid extraction on antioxidant activity of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) fruit skin extract in stability of soybean oil at 25°C. Oxidative stability alterations of soybean oils containing 400 (SEA) and 1000 ppm (SEB) of ethanol extract, 400 (SSA) and 1000 ppm (SSB) of...
