Abstract
In this study, the microwave-assisted and enzyme-assisted extraction efficiency were compared to solvent extraction. The extraction efficiencies were evaluated in bay leaf extract in terms of phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. The total phenolic content (mg GAE/g) of the extracts from three different extraction methods as a solvent, enzyme-assisted, and microwave-assisted extraction was found 23.29±0.02, 32.45±0.02, and 30.49±0.02, respectively. The highest value for the total phenolic content was found from the enzyme-assisted extraction. DPPH radical scavenging capacity (%) of the extracts from three different extraction methods was found at 36.91%±0.05, 50.72%±0.27, and 41.51%±0.09, respectively. Like the total phenolic content, the highest value for the DPPH radical scavenging capacity was found from the enzyme-assisted extraction. In addition, total dry matter, total ash, total protein, ascorbic acid, and total chlorophyll content of the bay leaf were analyzed.
