OPTIMIZTION OF MICROWAVE ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF PHYTOCOMPOENTS FROM HELIANTHUS TUBEROSUS AND APIUM GRAVEOLENS
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is widely employed in the analysis and the extraction of active compounds from plants. Helianthus tuberosus L. and Apium graveolens var. secalinumis are very important species for popular medicine and industry due to numerous phytocomponents with large implications in health improvement. Extractions of these compounds require new techniques with optimized parameters. This paper shows the influence of solvent composition in polyphenols extraction from dried plant samples. It has been found that solvent mixtures with higher concentration in EtOH provide better efficiency in the extraction process.
