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...

in the present study, a simple, efficient and fast synthetic strategy was reported for the green biosynthesis of silver nanostructures (i.e. nanoroads and nanoparticles) by the extract of suaeda acuminata plant, without any catalyst, template or surfactant. aqueous extracts were obtained by maceration and microwave assisted extraction (mae) methods. in mae procedure, the effect of microwave pow...

microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) method has been compared with hydrodistillation (hd) conventional technique for extraction of essential oil from achillea millefolium. microwave-assisted hydrodistillation were examined at three levels of microwave powers (300, 500, and 700 w) .   obtained results show that   mahd offers important advantages over hd in terms of energy savings and extr...

the genus haplophyllum, which belongs to the rutaceae family, includes 18 species in iran. in this study, after collecting plant material, botanical identification and suitable drying, the essential oils from aerial parts of haplophyllum robustum bge. were extracted by three different isolation techniques, conventional hydrodistillation (hd), microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) and solv...

Background and objectives: Bakhtiari savory belonging to the Lamiaceae family is an endemic species, which is rich in carvacrol, thymol and other aromatic compounds. The essential oil of the plant could be added in fatty food against radicals similar to synthetic antioxidant BHT. Methods: To determine the best extraction methods on qualitative and antioxidant c...

background & aim:nepeta racemosa is an herbal and medicinal plant and this report aims to   identify chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles of its   aerial parts through classical and advanced methods.  experimental: chemical profiles of the essential oils and volatile compounds from the aerial parts of nepeta racemosa obtained through hydrodistillation (hd), solvent-free mic...
