Natural deep eutectic solvent-ultrasound for the extraction of flavonoids from Fructus aurantii: Theoretical screening, experimental and mechanism

To reduce the environmental pollution caused by organic solvents and improve the extraction efficiency, a green and high-effective natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) was screened out and prepared for the extraction of flavonoids from Fructus aurantii based on the COMOS-RS and experimental verification. The results showed the results of theoretical screening and experimental verification were consistent, and Ch-Lea was the best extraction solvent, which further proved the COMOS-RS was an efficient tool for the solvent screening. Then, the extraction conditions were investigated. The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: molar ratio (1:2), water content (30%), solid–liquid ratio (1/60 g/g) and extraction time (15 min), yet the extraction temperature and power did not significantly affect the extraction yield. Under the optimal extraction condition, the extraction yield of flavonoids was 122.68 mg/g. Compared with the traditional extraction solvents (methanol and ethanol), Ch-Lea has a higher extraction yield. And the green assessment was conducted based on Eco-Scale methodology, which results indicated the Ch-Lea was more environmentally friendly than methanol and ethanol. Meanwhile, the Ch-Lea has good reusability, and the extraction yields from four reuses were 122.68 mg/g, 125.13 mg/g, 122.56 mg/g and 105.63 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the extraction mechanism was delved into using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis. The hydrogen bond interaction, particularly the O-H bonds, between Ch-Lea and the naringin molecule emerged as the primary force driving the extraction process. In summary, Ch-Lea is a green, economical, and highly effective solvent, making it a promising candidate for flavonoid extraction from Fructus aurantii. Its potential as an alternative to traditional extraction solvents further underscores its value.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction, optimization, isolation, and antioxidant activity analysis of flavonoids from Astragalus membranaceus stems and leaves

Astragalus membranaceus is a medicinal and edible species in China, with a variety of biological activities. This study evaluated the reuse potential of A. membranaceus waste as a source of food antioxidants. Antioxidant and antifungal activities of flavonoids, polysaccharides, and saponins from A. membranaceus stems and leaves were evaluated. Results showed that inhibition rate of flavonoids on six tested fungi reaches 100 % at a concentration of 5 mg/mL, and the antioxidant test demonstrated satisfactory antioxidant activity. On this basis, an extremely economical ultrasonic-assisted extraction of flavonoids from A. membranaceus stems and leaves was developed and optimized via response surface methodology (RSM). Optimized conditions included an extraction time of 35 min, ethanol concentration of 75 %, liquid–solid ratio of 40 mL/g, and extraction temperature of 58 °C, in which the extraction yield of flavonoids was 22.0270 ± 2.5739 mg/g. The total flavonoids were separated and purified using activity-guided isolation technology, and frac. ccd with strong antioxidant activity were analyzed via HPLC-MS/MS. Results showed that main components are isoquercitrin and astragalin. This study can provide a potential innovative application for the development of natural food antioxidants from A. membranaceus waste.

Microwave-assisted extraction of flavonoids from Phyllostachys heterocycla leaves: Optimization, mechanism, and antioxidant activity in vitro

Flavonoids were extracted from Phyllostachys heterocycla leaves by adopting microwave-assisted extraction technology. Based on the single factor experiment and Plackett-Burman design results, the extraction process of flavonoids was further optimized using the response surface methodology. The optimum conditions were as follows: an ethanol concentration of 78.1%, an extraction time of 24.9 min, and a microwave power of 559 W. Under these conditions, the extraction yield of flavonoids was 4.67%, which was in close proximity to the predicted value (4.70%) and higher than the extraction yield from traditional Soxhlet extraction (3.35%). Moreover, the possible extraction mechanisms of these two extraction methods were further derived to explain why the microwave-assisted extraction of flavonoids was more efficient compared with traditional Soxhlet extraction. Ultimately, the antioxidant activities in vitro of flavonoids from Phyllostachys heterocycla leaves were evaluated via DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. The flavonoids from Phyllostachys heterocycla leaves exhibited excellent antioxidant activities in vitro and Phyllostachys heterocycla leaves could be a new natural source for developing antioxidants. Overall, the findings of this research could provide a theoretical reference for the further comprehensive development and utilization of bamboo resources.

Sequential extraction and enrichment of flavonoids from Euonymus alatus by ultrasonic-assisted polyethylene glycol-based extraction coupled to temperature-induced cloud point extraction.

A green method for simultaneous extraction and enrichment of flavonoids from Euonymus alatus was developed by ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and temperature-induced cloud point extraction (TICPE) using PEG-base aqueous solution as the extractant. Based on screening different molecular weights of PEGs, PEG-400/water was used as the extractant, and the effects of key factors on extraction yields of flavonoids were investigated by single-factor experiments and response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions of UAE were as follows: PEG-400 concentration of 16% (w/w), particle size of 80 mesh, solvent-to-material ratio of 60:1, extraction temperature of 90°C and extraction time of 15min. The results obtained by validation experiments were consistent with the values predicted by RSM. Temperature-induced formation of the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) and TICPE process were further investigated by controlling temperature and adding (NH4)2SO4. In the presence of (NH4)2SO4, the ATPS formed at 75℃ and pH 3.5 could effectively improve separation and recovery of flavonoids with enrichment factor of above five times. Gallic acid, catechin, dihydromyricetin and ellagic acid in the extract were identified and confirmed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and the corresponding standards. The UAE-TICPE coupled to HPLC was successfully applied for extraction and determination of flavonoids in two batches of Euonymus alatus. The extraction yields of catechin, dihydromyricetin and total flavonoids were 0.377-0.684mg/g, 1.091-1.353mg/g and 2.612-3.146mg/g, respectively. Compared to conventional extraction methods, PEG-based UAE integrated with TICPE in one-step procedure exhibited higher extraction efficiency and better extraction selectivity.

Effect of sample-preparation methods on the quantification of selected flavonoids in plant materials by high performance liquid chromatography

Summary. Extraction yield of flavonoids from plant material Sambucus nigra L. inflorescence and Polygonum aviculare herb was determined by use of various methods of liquid–solid extraction – Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonification (USAE), microwaveassisted extraction (MASE), and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). Methanol was used as extractant. Crude extracts were evaporated to dryness and prepared to achieve fractionation of flavonoids by LLE or SPE. Samples containing the flavonoid fraction were analysed by RP-HPLC. For quantitative purposes the external standard method with a calibration plot for every standard was used. It was found that yield depends first of all on the plant material from which flavonoid fraction was extracted. For Sambucus nigra L. inflorescence the most effective method was exhaustive extraction in a Soxhlet apparatus. For Polygonum aviculare the most effective method was ASE. The best purification method was SPE on C18 adsorbent, which resulted in the highest recoveries and repeatabilities.

Dynamic microwave-assisted extraction of flavonoids from Herba Epimedii

An apparatus for extraction of flavonoids from Herba Epimedii has been constructed which utilizes a microwave technique for heating in a dynamic mode. A TM 010 microwave resonance cavity was applied to concentrate the microwave energy; the power needed to achieve efficient extraction was significantly reduced. The method has been compared with other extraction methods, such as pressurized microwave-assisted extraction (PMAE), ultrasonic extraction (UE), heat reflux extraction (RE) and Soxhlet extraction (SOX). The four flavonoids in extract were identified by HPLC–MS. The influence of extraction parameters on the extraction yield of flavonoids has been evaluated by comparison with the peak areas of HPLC-DAD spectra in the different extraction methods. The results showed that the extraction yield of flavonoids in Herba Epimedii obtained by dynamic microwave-assisted extraction (DMAE) was higher than that obtained by UE, RE and SOX, and the extraction time is dramatically reduced. The extraction yield obtained by DMAE is similar to that obtained by PMAE. But the flavonoids in Herba Epimedii would not decompose easily when increasing the extraction time in DMAE. This is the benefit of dynamic extraction system which can transfer the analytes extracted from the sample matrix with flowed fresh solvent to the out of extraction vessel.

Comparison of the Different Extraction Methods of Flavonoids in Epimedium Koreamum Nakai by HPLC‐DAD‐ESI‐MSn

In the present paper, the flavonoids in Epimedium Koreamum Nakai have been extracted by atmospheric pressure microwave assisted extraction (AMAE), pressurized microwave assisted extraction (PMAE), ultrasonic extraction (UE), and reflux extraction (RE), and the extracts have analyzed by HPLC‐DAD‐ESI‐MSn. As a result, the four flavonoids in the extracts have been identified as epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin. Also, the influence of extraction parameters on the extraction yields of epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin has been evaluated by comparison with the peak areas of HPLC‐DAD spectra in the different extraction methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the advantage of PMAE and AMAE over conventional RE is validated, the extraction time is dramatically reduced, and the yields of flavonoids are effective improved. Although the UE method can be carried out within a short time, the extraction yields of flavonoids are lower compared with other extraction methods.

High hydrostatic pressure extraction of flavonoids from propolis

AbstractA high hydrostatic pressure extraction (HHPE) method is presented for the extraction of flavonoids from propolis. Various experimental conditions of the HHPE process, such as solvents, ethanol concentration (35–95%, v/v), HHPE pressure (100–600 MPa), HHPE time (1–10 min) and solid/liquid ratio (1:5–1:45 g cm−3), were investigated to optimize the extraction process. The extraction yield with HHPE for 1 min was higher than those using extraction at room temperature for 7 days and heat reflux extraction for 4 h respectively. From the viewpoints of extraction time, the extraction efficiency and the extraction yield of flavonoids, HHPE was more effective than the conventional extraction methods studied.
