Hawthorn leaves are a rich source of phenolic compounds that possess beneficial activities for human health. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) is an extraction technique frequently used for the isolation of phenolic compounds in plants. Thus, in this study, a Box–Behnken design was used to optimize UAE conditions such as the percentage of acetone, the extraction time and solvent-to-solid ratio (v/w) in order to obtain the maximum content of total compounds by Folin–Ciocalteu and the maximum in vitro antioxidant activity by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays in Crataegus monogyna leaves. The optimum conditions to obtain the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activities were 50% acetone, 55 min and 1/1000 (w/v). A total of 30 phenolic compounds were identified and quantified in C. monogyna leaf extract obtained at these optimum UAE conditions. HPLC-MS allows the identification and quantification of 19 phenolic compounds and NP-HPLC-FLD analyses showed the presence of 11 proanthocyanidins. According to the results, the most concentrated phenolic compounds in C. monogyna leaf extract obtained at optimum UAE conditions were phenolic acid derivatives such as protocatechuic acid-glucoside, dihydroxy benzoic acid pentoside and chlorogenic acid, flavones such as 2″-O-rhamnosyl-C-hexosyl-apigenin, flavonols such as hyperoside and isoquercetin and proanthocyanidins such as monomer and dimer. As a result, the optimized UAE conditions could be used to obtain an extract of C. monogyna leaves enriched with phenolic compounds.

The Box-Behnken design combined with response surface method was employed to optimize ultrasonic-assisted extraction of flavonoids fromTaraxacum officinale. The optimized results showed that the highest extraction yield with ultrasonic-assisted extraction could reach 2.62% using 39.6% (v/v) ethanol and 59.5 : 1 (mL/g) liquid-solid ratio for 43.8 min. The crude extract was then purified by HPD-100 macroporous adsorption resin, and the flavonoids content in the purified extract increased to 54.7%. The antioxidant activity of the purified flavonoids was evaluatedin vitroby scavenging capacity of ABTS or DPPH,β-carotene bleaching, and FTC test. The knowledge obtained from this study should be useful to further develop and apply this plant resource.

An ultrasound-assisted extraction technique was used to extract the total flavonoids from QingLi Cao. The optimal conditions were ethanol concentration 59.20%, liquid-to-solid ratio 31.15 mL/g, extraction time 57.42 min and extraction temperature 58.57°C, which were determined using response surface methodology. The antioxidant activities including reducing power, ABTS+, DPPH, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical were evaluated, which suggested significant antioxidant activities.

OPTIMIZATION OF DEHYDRATION AND EXTRACTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM MANGO PEEL. Mango peel, a by-product obtained from the industrialization of this fruit, is a promising and inexpensive source of phenolic compounds. In the present study, both the drying of the mango peel and the extraction of phenolic compounds were optimized using the response surface methodology. In this sense, temperature and charge/area ratio were selected as depend variables to drying process. Instead, for the ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE) the temperature, ethanol-water concentration and time were optimized. For both processes, the total phenolic content (TPC) and mangiferin concentrations were the response variables. The TPC and the xanthone concentration were determined by the Folin–Ciocalteu method and HPLC-ESI-IT-MSn , respectively. The optimal conditions for the dehydration process were 54 °C and 2.3 kg m-2, reaching a TPC of 21.7 ± 1.6 mg GAE g-1 dw and a concentration of mangiferin of 1.94 ± 0.22 mg g-1 dw. Regarding to UAE, the optimum conditions were 51 °C, 50% ethanol and 71 min. Under these conditions, the TPC was 19.5 ± 0.8 mg GAE g-1 dw and the mangiferin concentration corresponded to 1.50 ± 0.13 mg g-1 dw. Additionally, 38 compounds were identified in the extract obtained under optimal conditions.
