Development and optimization of advanced microwave assisted extraction for Cucurbita pepo oil: A Phytochemical and Physico-chemical screening perspectiv
Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of this study is to optimize the operational conditions of the microwave-assisted extraction (MWE) of seeds of Cucurbita pepo (C. pepo) and phytochemical, physicochemical screening of extract (fixed oil) which is responsible for the medicinal properties of the plant. Optimal conditions for microwave extractions proposed were 700 Watt microwave power, 70 ml solvent volume and 10 min extraction time. Total 14.57% extract was yielded using microwave assisted extraction method compared to 8.1% by traditional Soxhlet extraction method. The solvent selection was based on the extraction values. Extracted oil was subjected to characterization by using thin layer chromatography, phyto-chemical and physicochemical screening. The microwave assisted extraction was more advantageous, effective and economical to that of traditional extraction method.
