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...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was evaluated as a simpler and more effective alternative to conventional extraction methods for the isolation of curcuminoids from turmeric plant rhizomes. The turmeric samples were extracted under indirect sonication in an ultrasonic bath, and compared with the conventional methods. It was found that the yield of ultrasound-assisted extraction was approxim...

BACKGROUND Rattan tea is a medicinal plant that has been used for many years for the treatment of inflammation, fatty liver, tumor, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. OBJECTIVE A green and novel approach based on surfactant-mediated, ultrasonic-assisted extraction (SM-UAE) was developed for the extraction of antioxidant polyphenols from Rattan tea. A nonionic surfactant Tween-80 was selected as ex...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction is evaluated as a simpler and more effective alternative to conventional extraction methods for the extraction of bioactive compounds from natural product. This study investigated the use of ultrasound-assisted extraction to extract three dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans, including tracheloside, hemislienoside, and arctiin from Hemistepta lyrata. Factors such as extr...

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 and optimiz...

This paper aims to provide a review of the analytical extraction techniques for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils. The extraction technologies described here include Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic and mechanical agitation, accelerated solvent extraction, supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, solid phase extraction and microextraction, ther...

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...
