Abstract Birch sawdust was extracted using pressurized hot water (PHW), with the ultimate aim of maximizing the yield of large and intact non-cellulosic heteropolysaccharides, i.e. hemicellulose molecules. The extractions were performed using a flow-through vessel. Effects of different extraction temperatures between 140 and 200°C were evaluated. The amount of extracted xylans, as weil as monosaccharides, increased as the temperature rose to 1 90°C, accordingly the degree of polymerization of the xylans decreased. The extracted xylans retained most of the native acetyl groups and were thereby water-soluble after the extraction. The PHW extract contained not only xylan and other hemicellulose-derived oligomers, but fragmented Iignin molecules and some extractives as well. Only trace amounts of furfurals were found in the extract at lower extraction temperatures. An optimal yield of water-soluble, polymeric xylans with the smallest amount of unwanted impurities and degradation products was thus achieved at an extraction temperature of 1 80°C using the flow-through vessel

In this study, the effects of the specimen preparation method, temperature, and duration of the extraction step for the determination of the water-soluble chloride content of sea sand were investigated. The results demonstrated that increasing the heating temperature and duration promoted the dissolution of chloride, where the maximum value was obtained at 80°C and 60 min. Hot water extraction (80°C/60 min) could eliminate the effects of different specimen preparation methods on the final test results. Therefore, a new method was developed with drying at a temperature of 110 ± 5°C and hot water extraction at a temperature of 80°C for 60 min. The suitability of the new method for determining the water-soluble chloride content of sea sand was verified by testing the extracted specimens again. The results indicated that the chloride in sea sand dissolved fully with the new method, and thus it is suitable for testing the water-soluble chloride content of sea sand. Finally, the organic and inorganic compositions of the film adsorbed on the surface of sea sand were studied based on thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, ion chromatography, and total organic carbon measurements. The results indicated that a layer of substance (a multi-substance film) was adsorbed onto the surface of sea sand. This layer comprised inorganic salts (such as Cl–, Na+, Mg2+, SO42–, and Ca2+) and organic compounds, which were related to the composition of sea water. The multi-substance film greatly affected the dissolution and diffusion of chloride in the sea sand. Hot water extraction accelerated the dissolution of the film and increased the test results in terms of the water-soluble chloride contents.

The extraction of polysaccharides from proso millet was investigated experimentally using hot water and acid aqueous solution. Response surface methodology, based on a three-level, three- or four-variable Box-Behnken design for hot water extraction or acid extraction, respectively, was employed to obtain the best possible combination of acid concentration, liquid-solid ratio, extraction time, and extraction temperature for maximum polysaccharides yield. The obtained experimental data were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation and analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. The corresponding optimum extraction conditions of each method were obtained. Under the optimum conditions, the experimental yield was well in close agreement with the predicted value by the model. The results showed that the polysaccharides yield of acid extraction was 42.13 mg g-1, significantly higher than 20.07 mg g-1 of the yield of hot water extraction, the obtained equation could be used to predict the extraction experimental results.

AbstractAutohydrolysis-based pretreatments enable extraction of hemicellulose from wood tissue prior to the paper pulp cooking processes enabling their further use as platform chemicals and in material applications. In this study, hot water extraction of birch meal was conducted in a small flow-through system. The combination of high surface area of the milled material with increased driving force induced by constant flow of freshwater, together with fast evacuation of extract, enabled a detailed study of the dissolution process. Based on the findings, deeper insight into acidification and autohydrolysis progress was obtained.

Phytochemicals of Cannabis sativa mainly for the use in the different industries are that of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) is seen as an efficient, fast, green extraction technique for the removal of polar and semi-polar compounds from plant materials. The PHWE technique was applied to extract cannabinoid compounds from Cannabis sativa seed. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the influence of extraction time (5–60 min), extraction temperature (50–200 °C) and collector vessel temperature (25–200 °C) on the recovery of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBN), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabichromene (CBG) and cannabigerol (CBC) from Cannabis sativa seed by PHWE. The identification and semi quantification of cannabinoid compounds were determined using GCXGC-TOFMS. The results obtained from different extractions show that the amount of THC and CBN was drastically decreasing in the liquid extract when the temperature rose from 140 to 160 °C in the extraction cell and the collector′s vessel. The optimal conditions to extract more CBD, CBC, and CBG than THC and CBN were set at 150 °C, 160 °C and 45 min as extraction temperature, the temperature at collector vessel, and the extraction time, respectively. At this condition, the predicted and experimental ratio of THCt (THC + CBN)/CBDt (CBD + CBC+ CBG) was found to be 0.17 and 0.18, respectively. Therefore, PHWE can be seen as an alternative to the classic extraction approach as the efficiency is higher and it is environmentally friendly.

A potential biorefinery is envisioned to use the hemicellulose portion of biomass to create transportation fuels or chemicals and the cellulose portion for fiber to be used in papermaking. To understand the effect on hemicellulose removal to pulpability and bleachability, a liquid hot water extraction was performed on two types of biomass with high hemicellulose content: poplar and miscanthus. The resulting materials were pulped using either a soda anthraquinone or kraft process. The pulps were then oxygen delignified and bleached with an elemental chlorine free sequence. The results demonstrate that a significant portion of hemicellulose can be extracted using liquid hot water extraction conditions of 170°C, 60 min, and a 6:1 ratio, with minimal glucan degradation. These low hemicellulose-content pulps delignified similarly to the control pulp, but had lower oxidative demand because of the absence of hemicellulose degradation products. Oxygen delignification of the low hemicellulose-content pulps was enhanced, but so was cellulose degradation. The delignification gains resulted in higher brightness ceilings for the pulps when a D(EP)D sequence was used. Measured fiber morphology did not change significantly from extracting the hemicellulose. Overall, hemicellulose extraction before pulping improved the efficiency of pulping and bleaching materials to a high brightness, but increased cellulose degradation.

AbstractUltrasonic extraction was a new development method to achieve high-efficiency extraction of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides instead of hot water extraction. In this paper, the single factor method combined with the box Behnken design of response surface method was used to study the influence of extraction time, extraction temperature, material liquid ratio and ultrasonic power on the extraction rate of L. barbarum polysaccharide. The results indicated that the best extraction rate of L. barbarum polysaccharide was 12.54 ± 0.12% under the conditions of 80 min for extraction time, 73 °C for extraction temperature, 1 g:38 mL for material to liquid ratio, and 185 W for ultrasonic power. Under the same operating conditions, the yield of L. barbarum polysaccharide using ultrasonic extraction was 83.3%, which was higher than that hot water extraction. Moreover, the extraction time of ultrasonic extraction was only 47% of that using hot water extraction. This suggested that there was great potentials of using ultrasonic extraction in the realization of high-efficiency extraction of L. barbarum polysaccharide. The results of this study could also provide a theoretical basis for the coupling of ultrasonic extraction and ultrasonic concentration process to develop the integrated equipment of both ultrasonic extraction and ultrasonic concentration.

Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra) is a commonly consumed vegetable that consists of the seeds and peel component which are rich in polyphenolic compounds. The aim of this study is to utilize pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) for the extraction of bioactive phytochemicals from different parts of okra. A single step PHWE was performed at various temperatures (60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C and 120 °C) to determine which extraction temperature exhibits the optimum phytochemical profile, antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The optimum temperature for PHWE extraction was determined at 80 °C and the biological activities of the different parts of okra (Inner Skin, Outer Skin and Seeds) were characterized using antioxidant (DPPH and ABTS), α-glucosidase and vasoprotective assays. Using PHWE, the different parts of okra displayed distinct phytochemical profiles, which consist of primarily polyphenolic compounds. The okra Seeds were shown to have the most antioxidant capacity and antidiabetic effects compared to other okra parts, likely to be attributed to their higher levels of polyphenolic compounds. Similarly, okra Seeds also reduced vascular inflammation by downregulating TNFα-stimulated VCAM-1 and SELE expression. Furthermore, metabolite profiling by LC/MS also provided evidence of the cytoprotective effect of okra Seeds in endothelial cells. Therefore, the use of PHWE may be an alternative approach for the environmentally friendly extraction and evaluation of plant extracts for functional food applications.

Metabolite extraction methods have been shown to be a critical consideration for pharmacometabolomics studies and, as such, optimization and development of new extraction methods are crucial. In the current study, an organic solvent-free method, namely, pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE), was used to extract pharmacologically important metabolites from driedMoringa oleiferaleaves. Here, the temperature of the extraction solvent (pure water) was altered while keeping other factors constant using a homemade PHWE system. Samples extracted at different temperatures (50, 100, and 150°C) were assayed for antioxidant activities and the effect of the temperature on the extraction process was evaluated. The samples were further analysed by mass spectrometry to elucidate their metabolite compositions. Principal component analysis (PCA) evaluation of the UPLC-MS data showed distinctive differential metabolite patterns. Here, temperature changes during PHWE were shown to affect the levels of metabolites with known pharmacological activities, such as chlorogenic acids and flavonoids. Our overall findings suggest that, if not well optimised, the extraction temperature could compromise the “pharmacological potency” of the extracts. The use of MS in combination with PCA was furthermore shown to be an excellent approach to evaluate the quality and content of pharmacologically important extracts.
