Extraction parameters in classical solvent extraction of bioactive compounds from Arbutus unedo leaves were studied using a single factor experiment approach. Effects ethanol (EtOH) concentration (20-100 %), solvent:solid ratio (10-90 ml/g), time min) and temperature (15-70 °C) on total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) antioxidant activity (TAA) the extracts investigated. The optimal con...
