Abstract
Subcritical water extraction (SWE) of phenolics was investigated from marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) flower residues. The total phenolics content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC) and antioxidant capacities of extracts were determined, furthermore, antioxidant activities of individual compounds were evaluated with on-line HPLC-ABTS(•+) system. The optimum SWE time was 45min, solid-to-liquid ratio was 1:50, and the highest TPC and TFC were obtained at 220°C respectively. The effect of SWE temperature on TPC and TFC was significant (p < 0.05), and TPC was ranged from 28.42 ± 0.94 to 124.27 ± 1.94 (mg GAE/g), and TFC ranged from 34.21 ± 0.36 to 133.22 ± 1.57 (mg GAE/g) between 80 and 220°C. On-line HPLC-ABTS(•+) profiles revealed that quercetagetin from SWE at 200°C had nearly twofold radical scavenging activities than that by leaching extraction.
