Abstract Aqueous two phase extraction (ATPE) was applied in the extraction of an allelochemical, solasodine, from an invasive plant, Solanum mauritianum. Central composite design was performed which included numerical parameters such as time and mass of plant powder. The categorical factors included the type of salt used in aiding extraction such as the chaotrope (NaCl) and kosmotrope (Na2CO3). Fitting the central composite design response surface model to the experimental data generated a quadratic model with a good fit (R2 = 0.925). The linear effect of mass of plant powder was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) parameter for solasodine extraction. The optimized conditions for the extraction of solasodine in the presence of NaCl or Na2CO3 were time: 10 min and mass of plant powder: 1.2 g. Corresponding to these conditions, the maximal mean extraction based on multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transition of solasodine (m/z 414 → 396) on the UHPLC-qTOF-MS was 233.65 mg kg-1 and 413.50 mg kg-1 for NaCl and Na2CO3, respectively. The greater extraction ability of the kosmotrope was due to the higher negative charge density of the carbonate ion during salting-out. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of mass of plant powder and salting-out was shown to enhance extraction of solasodine compared to the chaotrope. The kosmotrope assisted solasodine ATPE extracts from Solanum mauritianum, can potentially be applied as antipathogenic agents in medicine while simultaneously limiting the allelopathic impact of Solanum mauritianum.

Abstract A new, fast and efficient method, hyphenated microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (MA-ATPE) was applied in the extraction of α-solanine from Solanum retroflexum. This environmentally friendly extraction method applied water and ethanol as extraction solvents. Central composite design (CCD) was performed which included numerical parameters such as time, mass of plant powder and microwave power. The categorical factors included the chaotrope — NaCl or the kosmotrope — Na2CO3. Fitting the central composite design response surface model to the data generated a quadratic model with a good fit (R2 = 0.920). The statistically significant (p < 0.05) parameters such as time and mass of plant powder were influential in the extraction of α-solanine. Quantification of α-solanine was achieved using a robust and sensitive feature of the ultra-high performance quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer (UHPLC-qTOF-MS), multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The optimized condition for the extraction of α-solanine in the presence of NaCl and Na2CO3 was a period of 1 min at a mass of 1.2 g using a microwave power of 40%. Maximal extraction of α-solanine was 93.50 mg kg−1 and 72.16 mg kg−1 for Na2CO3 and NaCl, respectively. The synergistic effect of salting-out and microwave extraction was influential in extraction of α-solanine. Furthermore, the higher negative charge density of the kosmotrope (Na2CO3) was responsible for its greater extraction of α-solanine than chaotrope (NaCl). The shorter optimal extraction times of MA-ATPE make it a potential technique that could meet market demand as it is a quick, green and efficient method for removal of toxic metabolites in nutraceuticals.

AbstractThe biomass Solanum mauritianum (S. mauritianum) is an invasive weed specie; however, it is a source of medicinally important metabolites, as reported in literature, such as solasonine and solamargine. The study was directed at the optimization of microwave and aqueous two-phase-based extraction techniques which involved microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), aqueous two-phase extraction followed by microwave-assisted extraction (ATPE + MAE), and the “one-pot” microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (MA-ATPE) for extraction of solasonine and solamargine from leaves of S. mauritianum which was evaluated. The microwave-assisted extraction of solasonine and solamargine yielded optimums at 5.00 min, microwave power of 270 W, and solid/liquid of 0.1 g L−1 at an ethanol concentration of 60%. Application of a two-stage extraction (MAE + ATPE) in CaO-dried alcohol resulted in decreased amounts of solasonine and solamargine extracted. The best yields of solasonine and solamargine were achieved in the MA-ATPE method. Extraction of solamargine and solasonine using Na2CO3 in CaO-dried ethanol during MA-ATPE was approximately threefold and twofold greater than that of MAE + ATPE, respectively. Furthermore, extraction of solamargine and solasonine using NaCl in CaO-dried ethanol during MA-ATPE was approximately twofold greater than that of MAE + ATPE. The synergy of microwaves and salting-out in the “one-pot” MA-ATPE technique was shown to be a contributing factor for enhanced extraction of solamargine and solasonine from leaves of S. mauritianum. Application of this time- and energy-efficient extraction method could potentially be expanded for enrichment of medicinally important compounds from biomass of other medicinal plants.

AbstractRosa pimpinellifolia L. fruits (RPF) are promising source of anthocyanin pigments. The objectives of this study were to optimization of the aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) process of anthocyanin from RPF and microencapsulation of anthocyanin-rich RPF extract. The optimal ATPE conditions were as follows: 0% HCl, 30% ethanol, 19% ammonium sulfate, and liquid to solid ratio 51.71, 97.71 min, and 30°C extraction temperature. Predicted anthocyanin yield at the optimum conditions was 1578.90 mg cyanidin 3-glucoside equivalent/100 g dry fruit. ATPE resulting in 1.80-fold increase in the purity of anthocyanins when compared to conventional solvent extraction (CSE). The composition of the anthocyanins were determined with HPLC-QTOF-MS. Freeze-drying and spray-drying methods were employed for the production of microencapsulated anthocyanin pigments. The half times of microencapsulated anthocyanins at 4, 25 and 37°C were determined as 12.16, 6.60 and 3.12 months for freeze-dried microcapsules, and 16.50, 9.24 and 4.29 months for spray-dried microcapsules, respectively.

AbstractSolanum plants (Solanaceae) are renowned source of nutraceuticals and have widely been explored for their phytochemical constituents. This work investigated the effects of kosmotropic and chaotropic salts on the number of phytochemicals extracted from the leaves of a nutraceutical plant, Solanum retroflexum, and analyzed on the ultra-performance liquid chromatography hyphenated to a quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer (UPLC-QTOF-MS) detector. Here, a total of 20 different compounds were putatively characterized. The majority of the identified compounds were polyphenols and glycoalkaloids. Another compound, caffeoyl malate was identified for the first time in this plant. Glycoalkaloids such as solanelagnin, solamargine, solasonine, β-solanine (I) and β-solanine (II) were found to be extracted by almost all the salts used herein. Kosmotrope salts, overall, were more efficient in extracting polar compounds with 4 more polyphenolic compounds extracted compared to the chaotropes. Chaotropes were generally more selective for the extraction of less polar compounds (glycoalkaloids) with 3 more extracted than the kosmotropes. The chaotrope and the kosmotrope that extracted the most metabolites were NaCl and Na2SO4, respectively, with 12 metabolites extracted for each salt. This work demonstrated that a comprehensive metabolome of S. retroflexum, more than what was previously reported on the same plant, can be achieved by application of kosmotropes and chaotropes as extractants with the aid of the Aqueous Two Phase Extraction approach. The best-performing salts, Na2SO4 or NaCl, could potentially be applied on a commercial scale, to meet the ever-growing demand of the studied metabolites. The Aqueous Two Phase Extraction technique was found to be efficient in simultaneous extraction of multiple metabolites which can be applied in metabolomics.
