This paper discusses the effects of two main parameters (pressure and temperature) in supercritical carbon dioxideextraction of Sargassum sp. through response surface methodology (RSM). Perturbation plot shown significant effects of all process parameters on the yield of extract. An experimental design software was designated to achieve optimization on the process situations pertaining maximum extraction yield. The optimal conditions perceived were at pressure of 4500 psi and temperature of 65°C. The highest yield of extract achieved was 2.7 mg-extract/g-dried sample under the optimum conditions. The yield of extract was then further analysed via Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) and it was found that Sargassum sp. contains sterols, pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl ester, 9-Hexadecenoic acid, methyl ester and phytol which are the constituents of bioactive compounds and antimicrobial properties.

Metode yang digunakan adalah metode ekstraksi padat-cair dengan pelarut etanol. Pada penelitian ini dioptimasi menggunakan RSM (Response Surface Methodology). Bahan baku yang digunakan adalah biji orok-orok dan etanol. Biji orok-orok dihaluskan menggunakan blender, kemudian dimasukkan dalam labu leher tiga untuk proses ekstraksi menggunakan pelarut etanol. Ekstraksi dilakukan dengan memvariasikan berat sampel, suhu ekstraksi dan waktu ekstraksi. Dengan variasi berat sampel (70, 80,90 gram),  Suhu (55, 65 dan 75oC), Waktu (3,4 dan 5 jam). Setelah selesai ekstraksi larutan di saring menggunakan kertas saring. Selanjutnya dilakukan pemisahan antara minyak dan pelarut dengan proses destilasi. Pengujian yang dilakukan adalah uji densitas, yield, kadar FFA dan uji komposisi dengan alat GC-MS.

Coco ethanolamide obtained from the amidation of Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from coconut oil with monoethanolamine using zirconium (IV) chloride and tert-amyl alcohol was observed in this study. Several effective parameters were evaluated in term of catalyst concentration (5-9% w/wFAME), reaction temperature (80-100oC) and stirring speed (200-400 rpm). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize and to observe the interaction effects of the three variables on the FAME conversion. The capability of the process was measured from the number of FAME converted to coco ethanolamide. In the range of parameters evaluated, the conversion increase by increasing the catalyst concentration up to 9% (w/wFAME), but decreases after the optimum value. At the optimal condition, the model predicts a maximum FAME conversion of 86.27%, mainly due to a strong interaction between catalyst concentration and stirring speed.

This paper reports on the chemical compounds in arabica coffee beans with a high Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) cupping score, especially those in specialty coffee beans. We investigated the relationship between the chemical compounds and cupping scores by considering 16 types of Coffea arabica (arabica coffee) beans from Guatemala (SCA cupping score of 76.5–89.0 points). Non-targeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based chemometric profiling indicated that specialty beans with a high cupping score contained considerable amounts of methyl-esterified compounds (MECs), including 3-methylbutanoic acid methyl ester (3-MBM), and other fatty acid methyl esters. The effect of MECs on flavor quality was verified by spiking the coffee brew with 3-MBM, which was the top-ranked component, as obtained through a regression model associated with cupping scores. Notably, 3-MBM was responsible for the fresh-fruity aroma and cleanness of the coffee brew. Although cleanness is a significant factor for specialty beans, the identification of compounds that contribute to cleanness has not been reported in previous research. The chemometric profiling approach coupled with spiking test validation will improve the identification and characterization of 3-MBM commonly found in arabica specialty beans. Therefore, 3-MBM, either alone or together with MECs, can be used as a marker in coffee production.

This study aimed at an experimental design of response surface methodology (RSM) in the optimization of the dominant volatile fraction of Greek thyme honey using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). For this purpose, a multiple response optimization was employed using desirability functions, which demand a search for optimal conditions for a set of responses simultaneously. A test set of eighty thyme honey samples were analyzed under the optimum conditions for validation of the proposed model. The optimized combination of isolation conditions was the temperature (60 °C), equilibration time (15 min), extraction time (30 min), magnetic stirrer speed (700 rpm), sample volume (6 mL), water: honey ratio (1:3 v/w) with total desirability over 0.50. It was found that the magnetic stirrer speed, which has not been evaluated before, had a positive effect, especially in combination with other factors. The above-developed methodology proved to be effective in the optimization of isolation of specific volatile compounds from a difficult matrix, like honey. This study could be a good basis for the development of novel RSM for other monofloral honey samples.

Saffron, which has many kinds of biological activities, has been widely used in medicine, cosmetics, food, and other fields of health promotion industries. Crocins are the main component of saffron (Crocus sativus L.). At present, most of the extraction methods for crocins require long time or special instruments to complete the process and some of them are not suitable for industrial production at present. In this article, homogenate extraction technology which is a convenient and efficient method was developed for crocins extraction from saffron. Firstly, the influences of extraction voltage, extraction time, ethanol concentration, and temperature on crocins yield were studied by single factor experiments; and then response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize levels of four variables based on the result of single factor experiments. Results showed that the optimum extraction process conditions for crocins were as follows: extraction voltage, 110 V; ethanol concentration, 70%; extraction temperature, 57°C; and extraction time, 40 s. Based on these conditions, the extraction yield of crocins can reach 22.76% which is higher than ultrasonic extraction method. Therefore, homogenate extraction is an effective way to extract crocins from saffron with higher extraction yield and shorter extraction time.

Gypenosides III is a major bioactive component which is rich in Gynostemma pentaphyllum. For better utilization of the native resource, response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction conditions of gypenosides III from G. pentaphyllum. The effects of three independent variables on the extraction yield of gypenosides III were investigated and the optimal conditions were evaluated by means of Box-Behnken design. The optimal conditions are as follows: ratio of ethanol to raw material 25, extraction temperature 58°C and ultrasonic time 25min. Under these conditions, the yield of gypenoside III is 1.216±0.05%, which is agreed closely with the predicted yield value.
