Abstract
This work deals with ultrasonically assisted extraction (UAE) of biologically active compounds from rhizomes of Rhodiola rosea, a popular medicinal plant. The influence of temperature, type of solvent and solid/solvent ratio on the yield of total extracts, total phenols and flavonoids was established. The best extraction of total phenols and flavonoids was achieved by using 50% aqueous EtOH and MeOH, respectively. Five times increase of solid/solvent ratio (from 1:20 to 1:100 (w/v)) leads to slow increase of the yield of total phenols and flavonoids. The extraction effectiveness of conventional maceration with 50% EtOH and UAE performed for 1 h at 25 degrees C using the same solvent with respect of total phenols was comparable.
