Today, green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) have been grown in nearly 30 provinces in Vietnam. Catechins, which are polyphenols, are abundant in green tea. In a freshly picked tea leaf, polyphenols can compose up to 30% of the dry weight. Recently, researchs have focused on tea polyphenols due to its potent anti-oxidant activity, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Viet Nam currently ranks the fifth in the world in tea production and export turn-over. However, green tea is made from the top two leaves and buds of a shrub. A large amount of stems, older leaves and tea wastes from tea factories is not produced. For this reason, study to separation polyphenols from these materials plays an important role in science, society and economy. Polyphenols can be extracted from green tea leaves by using hot water and organic solvents. In the method of using hot water, green tea quality deteriorates and catechins are destroyed due to the heat applied. Therefore, we attempted to increase the amount of polyphenols in extracts with using ultrasonic irradiation at low temperature. This work has an aim to investigate the influent process parameters such as extraction time, stirring speed and the rate of raw material/solvent on efficiency of the extraction of polyphenols and antioxidant properties obtained extracts. The ultrasonic-assisted extraction was conducted at room temperature, ultrasound frequency (25 kHz) using water solvent. Extracts were analysed for total phenols content (TPC) by the Lowenthal method. The antioxidant properties have been determined by DPPH free radical scavenging effect, The results of the work are the basis to determine of the optimal technological factors by employing desirability methodology with experimental order of Box-Behnken design and to scale up for designed industrial extraction system that can be applied in tea plants for the production of tea polyphenols from tea wastes.

An efficient ultrasonic-assisted extraction of inulin from Jerusalem artichoke was investigated by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results showed that the yield of ultrasonic-assisted extraction was 62.07 ± 0.39% over the microwave (40.85 ± 0.28%) and hot water extraction (27.42 ± 0.42%). The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to optimize the effects of three parameters (temperature-X1, ultrasonic power-X2 and time-X3) on inulin yield. Analysis of variance showed that the contributions of X1, X3, X12, X13, X22 were significant. The optimal yield of inulin was 82.93 ± 1.03% at 82 °, 120 W and 18 min.

Blueberry leaf as materials, ethanol ultrasonic assisted extraction of blueberry polyphenols, ethanol concentration and solid-liquid ratio on blueberry ultrasonic time leaves influence the yield of polyphenols were researched, and the orthogonal experiment to optimize the ethanol ultrasonic assisted extraction technological conditions of blueberry leaf polyphenol polyphenols was used. The results showed that the optimal extraction conditions of polyphenols from blueberry leaves were as follows, 9.06% with 4min ultrasonic time, 80% ethanol concentration and 1:45 (g/mL) ratio. Ultrasonic assisted extraction is a convenient and high yield method, which is suitable for the extraction of polyphenols from blueberry leaves.

Herbs with antioxidant properties are usually preserved and extracted before being converted into commercial products. The main focus of this study was to determine the effect of preservation of A. sessilis red as well as extraction method on its antioxidant properties. A. sessilis red was preserved using two different methods; freeze drying and superheated steam drying, followed by extraction with 70% ethanol using conventional extraction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction. Drying in the superheated steam oven displayed shorter drying period of 1 hour compared to freeze drying (several days). Combination of superheated steam drying and ultrasonic-assisted extraction showed the highest extraction yields (12.99%). Results showed that superheated steam drying and ultrasonic-assisted extraction displayed an increase in the total phenolic content. In terms of antioxidant capacity, A. sessilis extracts obtained from superheated steam drying has higher radical scavenging activity (72.39% - 76.70%) than those freeze-dried (60.68% - 65.33%). Meanwhile, ultrasonic-assisted extraction had negatively impacted the radical scavenging activity of the extracts due to the formation of free radicals that are related to acoustic cavitation. As for ferric reducing antioxidant power, both superheated steam drying and ultrasonic assisted extraction yielded extracts with greater capacity. Present result shows that the combination of superheated steam drying and ultrasonic-assisted extraction enhanced total phenolic content by 60% and improved antioxidant activity based on ferric reducing antioxidant power assay

The effect of ultra-high pressure technology on the extraction of polysaccharides from Huangshan Stone Ear was studied. The effects of solid-liquid ratio, pressure and time on the yield of polysaccharides from umbilicaria were investigated by single factor experiment, and the experiment was optimized by response surface experiment design. Under the conditions of pressure maintaining time of 14.36 min, pressure of 303 MPa and ratio of solid to liquid of 1: 54, the theoretical yield of polysaccharides was12.85±1.32%, 1.18 times as high as that of hot water extraction and 1.39 times as high as that of ultrasonic-assisted extraction. This experiment proved that it is feasible to use ultra-high pressure technology to assist in the extraction of stone ear polysaccharides. Meanwhile, the ultra-high pressure technology also has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and low temperature requirement, which provides a new and efficient method for extraction of polysaccharides from umbilicaria.
