Four polysaccharides (LVP-u, LVP-m, LVP-e, and LVP-h) were extracted from the fruiting bodies of Lactarius vividus by an ultrasonic-assisted extraction method, microwave-assisted extraction method, enzyme-assisted extraction method, and hot water extraction method, respectively. Then, the effect of extraction methods on yields, preliminary structural properties, and antioxidant activities was systematically investigated using the weighing method, chemical composition analysis, high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), radical scavenging, and metal ion chelating assays. Results demonstrated that the four L. vividus polysaccharides (LVPs) were all combined with protein, and the yield of LVP-u was higher than others. Molecular weight distribution, monosaccharide and amino acid compositions, and microstructures among the four LVPs were significantly different. Moreover, the LVPs showed significant antioxidant activities in a dose-dependent manner, and LVP-e demonstrated better antioxidant activities in superoxide anion radical scavenging activity assays and metal ion chelating activity assays, while LVP-u showed higher activity in its hydroxyl radical scavenging ability.

Abstract A comparison of chestnut polysaccharide extraction using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and hot water extraction (HWE) demonstrated that UAE is superior to HWE due to its higher extraction efficiency. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the ultrasound-assisted-extracted polysaccharide (UAEP) and hot water-extracted polysaccharide (HWEP). SEM images revealed that the UAEP and chestnut residue were crushed, with particle sizes that were smaller than those of the HWEP, which was related to the breakage of long-chain polysaccharides. TGA-DSC showed a higher transition temperature and enthalpy value for the UAEP than the HWEP, and the FTIR spectrum revealed typical characteristics of polysaccharides, with some differences between the UAEP and HWEP. The evaluation of antioxidant activities showed that the UAEP had stronger antioxidant capacities than the HWEP, regardless of the reducing power and DPPH-, ABTS- and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activities, suggesting that ultrasound is an optimal method to rapidly extract chestnut polysaccharide, a potential natural antioxidant.

Nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries have been increasingly engaged in finding natural alternatives compounds as potential antioxidants. The use of phytochemicals is introduced as a good source of natural antioxidants. Murayya koenigii leaves, commonly used in cooking and traditional medicines have been examined for their remarkable antioxidant potential, yet still, it remains an understudied herb. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antioxidant properties and flavonoids profile in M. koenigii leaves extracted using; solvent assisted extraction (SAE), microwave assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE). The antioxidant properties of M. koenigii were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). M. koenigii leaves extracted using the UAE method have responded strongly towards a 2, 2-diphenyl -2-picryl-hydrazyl DPPH assay with the highest inhibition (%) of 78.00±1.00. Using the ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method assays, the M. koenigii leaves with the lowest absorbance were assigned as a sample with the highest antioxidant activity. The M. koenigii leaves extracted using UAE had the lowest absorbance with 0.01±0.00. In the TPC assay, the MAE method showed the highest total phenolic content (120.60±14.81 mg GAE/g sample). The TFC assay demonstrated that MAE methods have the highest total phenolic content (93.38±4.33 mg QE/g sample. The M. koenigii leaves extracted by MAE showed the highest gallic acid, catechin, epigallocatechin gallate, rutin and kaempferol concentration (mg/L). M. koenigii leaves subjected to SAE extraction has the highest concentration of p-coumaric acid, myricetin and quercetin (mg/L). This study found that M. koenigii leaves extracted using UAE exhibited better antioxidant activities than that of MAE and SAE. These useful findings have managed to narrow the knowledge gap regarding the effects of different extraction methods on the antioxidant property of M. koenigii.

Antioxidant activity of the flavonoids from pomelo (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck) peel obtained by conventional soxhlet extraction (CSE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction were investigated. For measuring antioxidant activities, different methods have been used corresponding to different levels of antioxidant action. The results indicated that the extraction yields of flavonoids by MAE and SC-CO2 extraction were higher than that by CSE method, whereas flavoniods by SC-CO2 extraction exhibited the strongest antioxidant activities. Our results indicated that SC-CO2 extraction method could effectively reserve the antioxidant ability of pomelo peel flavonoids.

Evodia lepta (E. lepta) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with various biological activities. One of the active components of this widely used medicinal plant is believed to be an oligosaccharide. The extraction yields, structural characteristics, antioxidant, and antitumor activities of four oligosaccharide extracts obtained by hot water extraction (HEO), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UEO), enzyme-assisted (EEO), and microwave-assisted extraction (MEO) were investigated. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicated that the extraction methods had a difference on the molecular mass distribution, structure, and morphology of the EOs. In addition, HEO and MEO showed strong antioxidant activities, which might be related to their uronic acid and protein contents. More interestingly, MEO was more active toward MDA-MB-231 cells compared to other cells, and cell growth inhibition was proposed to occur through apoptosis. Overall, microwave-assisted extraction is a promising technique for the extraction of high quality EO.

 The efficiencies of three extraction methods (percolation, Soxhlet and ultrasonically assisted extraction) were evaluated for the extraction of antioxidants from Vicia faba L. bean and hulls. Antioxidant activities of extracts were evaluated using four different tests. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extracts were determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride methods, respectively. Although the yield of extractions for ultrasonically assisted extraction was about half to one-fourth of that of other methods, the extraction ratio of total phenol was higher. Hull extracts had higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activities than bean extracts. The hull ultrasonic extract showed the best DPPH (IC50= 56.9 ± 2.5 g ml-1) and NO radical scavenging (11.3 ± 0.5 gml-1). The hull percolation extract showed the best iron chelating ability (171.8 ± 6.8 g ml-1) and reducing power. The results indicated that all extraction methods could effectively extract antioxidants from medicinal plants

<p class="1Body">The water-soluble polysaccharides content of soybean curd residue fermented by <em>Flammulina velutipes</em> was about 7 times higher than unfermented one and more than 4 times higher than <em>Flammulina velutipes</em> fruiting body. The optimized ultrasonic-assisted extraction method (80 °C, 20 min, 80 W and solid-liquid ratio of 1 g/30 mL) showed a water-soluble polysaccharides extraction yield of 7.88% which was higher than that of hot-water extraction method (6.11%). Moreover, the crude polysaccharides were purified and the main components showed strong activities on DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 0.21 mg/mL), ABTS radical scavenging (IC50 0.42 mg/mL), hydroxyl radical scavenging (IC50 0.28 mg/mL) and SOD-like activity (IC50 0.88 mg/mL). The results indicated that the fermentation method could be used as a new approach for bio-active polysaccharides production and a new method for reusing the food industrial waste. The ultrasonic-assisted extraction method could be considered as a more efficient method in polysaccharides extraction process. Furthermore, the fermented soybean curd residue could be expected as a new source of antioxidant with the further research value.</p>

In order to explore snow chrysanthemum polysaccharides (SCPs) as functional food ingredients and natural antioxidants for industrial applications, both microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) were firstly optimized for the extraction of SCPs. Furthermore, the effects of conventional hot water extraction, UAE, and MAE on the chemical structures and antioxidant activities of SCPs were investigated. The maximum extraction yields of SCPs extracted by UAE (4.13 ± 0.24%) and MAE (4.26 ± 0.21%) were achieved at the optimized extraction parameters as follows: ultrasound amplitude (68%) and microwave power (500 W), ultrasound extraction time (21 min) and microwave extraction time (6.5 min), and ratio of liquid to raw material (42.0 mL/g for UAE and 59.0 mL/g for MAE). In addition, different extraction methods significantly affected the contents of uronic acids, the molecular weights, the molar ratio of constituent monosaccharides, and the degree of esterification of SCPs. SCPs exhibited remarkable DPPH (IC50 ≤ 1.702 mg/mL), ABTS (IC50 ≤ 1.121 mg/mL), and nitric oxide (IC50 ≤ 0.277 mg/mL) radical scavenging activities, as well as reducing power (≥ 80.17 ± 4.8 μg Trolox/mg), which suggested that SCPs might be one of the major contributors toward the antioxidant activities of snow chrysanthemum tea. The high antioxidant activities (DPPH, IC50 = 0.693 mg/mL; ABTS, IC50 = 0.299 mg/mL; nitric oxide, IC50 = 0.105 mg/mL; and reducing power, 127.79 ± 2.57 μg Trolox/mg) observed in SCP-M extracted by the MAE method might be partially attributed to its low molecular weight and high content of unmethylated galacturonic acids. Results suggested that the MAE method could be an efficient technique for the extraction of SCPs with high antioxidant activity, and SCPs could be further explored as natural antioxidants for industrial application.

Pewarna alami lebih disukai karena tidak memiliki efek yang negatif terhadap tubuh manusia sehingga mempunyai tingkat keamanan pangan yang tinggi, selain itu juga pewarna alami mudah diuraikan. Bahan pewarna alami bisa diperoleh dari berbagai jenis sumber, salah satunya yaitu spesies alga yang merupakan tumbuhan tingkat rendah di perairan. Alga terdapat 2 jenis yaitu makroalga yang berukuran besar dan mikroalga yang berukuran kecil (renik). Spesies mikroalga yang dapat menghasilkan pewarna alami salah satunya adalah Spirulina. Jenis pewarna alami yang terkandung pada mikroalga tersebut yaitu fikosianin. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan ekstraksi fikosianin dari Spirulina platensis dengan menggunakan tiga metode berbeda yaitu Maserasi, Ultrasound-Assisted-Extraction (UAE) dan Freezing untuk mengetahui metode mana untuk menghasilkan yield dan antioksidan tertinggi dari ekstrak yang dihasilkan. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa berdasarkan nilai yield tertinggi dan kandungan fikosianin, freezing merupakan metode ekstraksi terbaik dengan kandungan fikosianin yang paling tinggi yaitu sebesar 26,53%. Sedangkan nilai aktivitas antioksidan terbesar dihasilkan oleh metode ekstraksi maserasi dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 49,59 ppm. Fikosianin yang dihasilkan dari ketiga metode ekstraksi termasuk antioksidan kuat.KATA KUNCI: ekstraksi, Spirulina plantesis, fikosianin, biopigmen, antioksidanEXTRACTION OF PHYCOCYANIN FROM SPIRULINA PLANTESIS FOR BIOPIGMENT AND ANTIOXIDANTABSTRACTRecently, biopigment known as a pigment which has no impact and easy to degradated in human body and better than artificial pigment.
