introduction: in recent years, much attention has been focused on agricultural wastes especially those containing phenolic compounds with natural antioxidant properties. one of these sources is the green husks of walnuts. the contents of phenolic compounds of plants are influenced under various factors including genetic factors, agricultural varieties and the species, climate and extraction pro...

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...

phenolic compounds, especially those of plant origin, constitute an essential part of the human diet, and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties. in this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction (uae), microwave-assisted extraction (mae), as well as maceration extraction (me) methods were applied for phenolic compounds’ extraction from pistachio green hull. response surfa...

When harvesting corn, corn silk was discarded as waste, including the compounds isolated and identified from such flavonoids, sterols, alkaloids, polysaccharides, organic acids, volatile oils, trace elements, multivitamins. It not only pollutes environment but also wastes resources. In this paper, extraction methods commonly used for extracting flavonoids were reviewed, reagent method, enzymati...

Various extraction techniques were applied in the extraction of the biologically active constituents. The methods employed were traditional maceration extraction, microwave-assisted extraction(MAE), and ultrasound extraction (UE). Compared to the maceration extraction, MAE and UE methods provided high extraction yield, requiring short time frames and less labour. Microwave irradiation is a prov...

Solid coconut waste (SCW) is a by-product of milk production which still contains virgin oil (VCO). This usually thrown away or left in fields. study aims to optimize the effects Microwave power (80–400 W), irradiation time (1–4 minutes), and solvent feed ratio (SF) (10–30 ml/g) on extraction VCO from SCW using microwave-assisted extraction. The optimized conditions were microwave power: 160 W,...

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:...
