A comparative study of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and hydro-distillation was performed for fast extraction of estragole from tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) dried leaves. Several influential parameters of the UAE procedure in the extraction of estragole (type of solvent, extraction cycles, solvent to material ratio, irradiation time and particle size) were investigated an...

The effects of different solvents, temperature conditions, solvent-solid ratios and particle sizes on solid-solvent extraction of the total phenolics, proanthocyanidins and flavonoids herein also referred to as antioxidant from pomegranate marc peel (PMP) was studied. Water, methanol, ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate extraction efficiencies at extraction times of 0.17 to 10 min, extraction t...

dpph radical-scavenging activity of the bene hull oil (bho), sesame oil (seo), rice bran oil (rbo), the oils' methanolic (ch3oh/h2o, 80:20 v/v) or hexane extracts, and their unsaponifiable matters fraction were measured and compared with each other. as a radical-scavenger, seo was significantly stronger than rbo and bho, respectively. unlike bho and rbo, the unsaponifiable (usm) fraction of the...

the phenolic compounds of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) peel extracted by two methods (solvent and ultrasound-assisted) with five solvents (acetone, methanol, ethanol, water and ethyl acetate) were compared with supercritical fluid extraction (sfe). the total phenolic compounds were determined according to the folin-ciocalteu reagent using tannic acid as standard. the overall results showed ...

electric arc furnace dust (eafd) of ferromanganese production units, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, manganese, zinc, iron, silica, calcium, aluminum and other elements. a hydrometallurgical route based on solvent extraction technique was investigated for selective separation of manganese from the dust. leaching of the eafd resulted in an aqueous feed containing 4 g/l of manganes...

the present work concerns on the investigation of the role of polyethylene glycols (pegs) as masking agent for amelioration of extraction-separation of la(iii), eu(iii) and er(iii) ions by the acidic extractant bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (dehpa). the studied solvent extraction system is based on the combination of chelating effect of dehpa in the organic phase on the one hand, and the bin...

the distribution of gallium(b) and indium (b) between hydrochloric or sulphuric acid solution with sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid(ca-100) in kerosene has been investigated under various conditions. ca-100 is a new organocarboxylic extractant, which has been shown to be efficient for gallium(b) and indium(b) whereas germanium(c), which was not extracted. the extraction system is studied as a funct...

samples of crushed and cooked canola seeds (okapy double zero) were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (scco2) at 34 mpa and 40ºc and a commercial organic solvent (aw406). the oil solubility in scco2 was determined and extracted oils were examined with respect to their chlorophyll contents, nonsaponifiable matters, fatty acid composition and iodine value. the yield of scco2 extraction...

a simple, inexpensive and efficient method was used for extraction and determination of fexofenadine and levocetirizine with three–phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. several parameters influencing the extraction recoveries such as the nature of organic extraction solvent, ph of donor and acceptor phases, stirring rate, extraction time and...
