Buah Delima (Punica granatum L.) merupakan tanaman yang memiliki banyak manfaat, diantaranya memiliki kandungan antioksidan. Kandungan antioksidan dalam buah delima yang utama adalah vitamin C. Vitamin C sebagai antioksidan dibutuhkan dalam sistem imun untuk menjaga kekebalan tubuh dan juga dapat menjaga elastisitas kulit. Kandungan vitamin C dari buah delima dapat diperoleh dengan cara ekstraksi. Vitamin C tidak tahan pada suhu yang tinggi, sehingga dibutuhkan teknologi ekstraksi yang tepat. Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) merupakan ekstraksi ultrasonikasi yang dipilih karena tidak menggunakan suhu yang tinggi dan waktu ekstraksi lebih singkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan kondisi UAE optimum yang meliputi kombinasi 3 variabel, yaitu amplitudo, waktu, dan jumlah pelarut yang menghasilkan vitamin C optimum dari ekstrak daging buah delima. Tipe alat UAE yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah tipe Qsonica – Q500 (500 W, 20 kHz). Metode penelitian adalah eksperimental laboratorium menggunakan RSM (Response Surface Methodology) tipe CCD (Central Composite Design) dengan amplitudo minimum 40% dan maksimum 50%; waktu minimum 20 menit dan maksimum 25 menit; dan jumlah pelarut minimum 150 ml dan maksimum 225 ml. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa banyaknya jumlah pelarut memberikan pengaruh yang nyata, sedangkan amplitudo dan lama waktu ekstraksi tidak berpengaruh nyata. Model signifikan pada nilai P < 0,05 dengan kondisi UAE optimum pada kombinasi perlakuan amplitudo 50%, waktu 25 menit, dan jumlah pelarut 150 ml yang menghasilkan nilai kadar vitamin C optimum sebesar 47,79 mg/100 gram.

There is a worldwide demand for phenolic compounds (PC) because they exhibit several biological activities. This work aimed at extracting phenolic compounds from peanut meal. The methods of extraction were mainly: conventional solvent extraction (traditional methods) and ultrasound assisted extraction (recent methods) and comparing their results. Peanut meal (PM) was prepared by defatting with n-hexane, and then extracted by the two previous methods. First, the conventional solvents used were 80% methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and distilled water. Then studied Different parameters such as meal: water ratio, also the effect of temperature and the pH on the extraction process. Second, ultrasonic assisted extractions (USAE), the parameters investigated were temperature, time and speed of sonication. Finally, all the extracts were analyzed by HPLC for their phenolic contents. Results indicated that the highest extracted PC achieved by solvents was in distilled water where 1:100, Meal: Water ratio which extracted 40 mg PC / g PM at 30& 35°C. Highest extracted PC was achieved by alkaline medium at pH 12 more than acidic and neutral medium. While (USAE) at speed 8 ultrasonication and temperature 30ᵒC, extracted 49.2mg PC /g PM. Sothe ultrasound assisted extraction exhibited great influence on the extraction of phenolic compounds from peanut meal. The ultrasonic peanut extract was examined for its antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic activities. The antioxidant activity of PM phenolic extract prepared by ultrasonic technique, was measured by, β-carotene, and DPPH methods, and reducing antioxidant power. Results revealed values: 84.57, 57.72 and 5960 respectively. The PM extract showed different levels of antimicrobial activity against the pathogenic bacteria used. As for the anticarcinogenic effect PM phenolic extract most effective on inhibiting colon carcinoma and lung carcinoma cell lines with IC50 = 20.7 and 20.8 µ/ml., respectively. This was followed by intestinal carcinoma and liver carcinoma cell lines with IC50= 39.6 and 40.2µ/ml.

Fruit extracts of Sambucus nigra L. (elderberry) and Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) have several applications in nutraceutical, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries thanks to their richness in antioxidant polyphenols, whose composition changes with the extraction method applied. We aimed to compare the efficiency of the fermentation extraction, recently applied by industries, with the ultrasound-assisted extraction–UAE, a well-known and efficient technique, on the yield of antioxidant polyphenols from elderberry fruits and pomegranate fruit-peels. Extracts were obtained by both methods, analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the antioxidant capacities were evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging (HRS) assays. The main compounds detected in elderberry were caffeoyl and quercetin derivatives, present in higher amounts in UAE extracts. In pomegranate, punicalagin were the main constituents, also detected in higher contents in the UAE extracts compared to fermented ones. The UAE was more suitable for extracting anthocyanins from pomegranate. In addition, higher antioxidant capacities were observed in UAE extracts, possibly due to their richness in polyphenols. Therefore, despite the recent wide applicability and the good performance of the fermentation process, the UAE may be considered more efficient for the extraction of polyphenols from S. nigra and P. granatum fruits and may be used to obtain polyphenolic antioxidant extracts to be applied by several industries.

Angelica keiskei Koidzumi (A. keiskei), as a Japanese edible herbal plant, enjoys a variety of biological activities due to the presence of numerous active compounds, especially flavonoids. This study aims for the optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for flavonoids in A. keiskei and their antioxidant activity by using the response surface methodology (RSM). Single-factor experiments and a four-factor three-level Box–Behnken design (BBD) were performed to explore the effects of the following parameters on flavonoid extraction and antioxidant activity evaluation: ultrasonic temperature (X1), ultrasonic time (X2), ethanol concentration (X3) and liquid–solid ratio (X4). The optimum conditions of the combination of total flavonoid content (TFC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity (DPPH-RSC) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were as follows: X1 = 80 °C, X2 = 4 min, X3 = 78%, X4 = 35 mL/g, respectively. The experimental results provide a theoretical basis for the extensive utilization of A. keiskei and flavonoids extraction from A. keiskei as a potential source of antioxidants.
