ULTRASONIC-ASSISTED EXTRACTION USING A BETAINE-BASED NATURAL DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENT FOR RESVERATROL EXTRACTION FROM MELINJO (GNETUM GNEMON) SEEDS

Objective: Melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) seeds are known to contain resveratrol, which are classified as a phenolic compound of the stilbenoid. Melinjoseeds have high water content, making them unstable to be stored for prolonged periods with open packaging at room temperature. The present studyaimed to explore the use of ultrasonic-assisted extraction with a betaine-based natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) for resveratrol extraction fromirradiated melinjo seeds.Methods: The best betaine-based NADES component was identified among betaine-urea, betaine-lactic acid, and betaine-malic acid. Optimization ofextraction methods was performed using the best NADES and extraction variables such as time of extraction, water percentage, and sample: solventratio. The outcome of extraction was evaluated by measuring resveratrol content using high-performance liquid chromatography and the results wereanalyzed using response surface methodology.Results: The best betaine-based NADES was found to be betaine-lactic acid, yielding a resveratrol content of 0.3344 mg/g powder. The optimumextraction was achieved in 10 min with 60% water and a sample: solvent ratio of 1:10, yielding a resveratrol content of 0.227 mg/g powder.Conclusion: Betaine-based NADES can be purposed as an alternative solvent for resveratrol extraction from irradiated melinjo seeds.

Objective: This work aimed to determine the optimal extraction conditions of Mahkota dewa using different extraction methods: microwave-assistedextraction with ethanol (MAE-ethanol), ultrasonic-assisted extraction using a choline chloride natural deep eutectic solvent (UAE-NADES), andSoxhlet and reflux extractions.Methods: Experimental design was performed through Box-Behnken. The efficiency of the methods was evaluated based on the total phenolic content(TPC) and antioxidant activity. The presence of relevant compounds was qualitatively assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Results: For the MAE-ethanol method, optimum extraction was achieved with 65% ethanol, in 1 min under 30% microwave power, and a 1:12 sample–solvent ratio, which yielded a TPC and antioxidant activity of 62.79±0.74 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g powder and 30.48±0.32%, respectively. InUAE-NADES, the optimal conditions were choline chloride: lactic acid ratio of 1:4 with a 50% water addition, 20 min extraction (TPC and antioxidantactivity of 65.25 mg GAE/g powder and 26.45±0.02%). The Soxhlet and reflux methods gave a TPC of 49.68±0.59 and 50.98±0.54 mg GAE/g powder,and antioxidant activity of 22.87±0.13% and 25.97±0.34%, respectively. Qualitative HPLC analysis showed the presence of quercetin, mahkoside A,4,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and mangiferin.Conclusion: MAE-ethanol was more efficient than the conventional Soxhlet and reflux methods and performed similarly to UAE-NADES in terms of TPC.

Recently, it has been demonstrated that a rare flavonoid, 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8,4′-trimethoxyflavonol (1), isolated from the leaves of Rubus rosifolius showed significant antiproliferative activity against different cancer cell lines and had a diuretic effect. This study aimed to determine the best extraction method evaluating dynamic maceration extraction (DME), ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave assisted extraction (MAE). In addition, level optimization for different factors was focused using Design of Experiments. The flavonoid content was estimated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results indicated that UAE provided the highest content with the shortest extraction time. For optimization, response surface methodology (RSM) was used, applying a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) with three factors at three levels. It was possible to observe that the flavonoid content significantly increased with the increase of temperature (max. 70°C). The time had little influence on the extraction and, for this reason, was set at 25 min. With regard to the drug/solvent ratio, it was observed that this had an impact on yield with a ratio of 3.5%. A model was built and a determination coefficient of 0.98 was obtained. After validation, an optimized method was developed, able to extract 1 with a lower time, lower solvent consumption, and affording higher contents.
