Artificial formation of benzene polycarboxylic acids during sample processing of black carbon analysis: the role of organic carbon amount

Black carbon is also known as pyrogenic carbon formed by partial combustion of organic material under limited oxygen supply. It occurs along a continuum from original organic slightly charred material to highly aromatic combustion residues such as charcoal, graphite, and soot. Black carbon is extensively studied in various environments due to its ubiquity. It is also important for the biochar community because it can specifically trace the stable polycondensed part of biochar. Different methods have been adopted for black carbon determination; among them using benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCA) as molecular markers for the polycondensed aromatic moieties of charred materials. However, different researchers have shown interferences from organic matter during BPCA analysis. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess if artificial formation of BPCA occurs in soil samples when the organic carbon load exceeds 5–10 mg. For this purpose, we conducted black carbon analysis of different soil samples with varying TOC contents of up to 20 mg. In addition, organic matter-rich plant materials were used as a black carbon-free control (leaves of Ivy and Beech, leaves/needles of Spruce and needles of Thuja). To exclude the high-pressure digestion as source of artificial black carbon formation, a comparison between the conventional and a microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) oxidation process was included. Our results show that for soil samples, no artificial BPCA formation occurred at least up to 20 mg of total organic carbon. Higher sample weights are unrealistic for BPCA analysis of soils using current methodology. Therefore, our results clearly demonstrate that there is no artificial BPCA formation during properly performed black carbon analysis of soil samples. On the contrary, for some samples, BPCA contents tended to decrease with increasing sample weight, and thus increasing amount of TOC. In contrast, for plant samples, artificial BPCA formation of up to 3 g kg−1 occurred when more plant material equivalent to 10 mg total organic carbon was used. However, there was no amount dependence of artificial BPCA formation. The reason for artificial BPCA formation was not the high-pressure digestion, as microwave-assisted digestion showed comparable results. However, for real-world analysis, this artificial BPCA formation is not relevant because such high soil sample weights cannot be used. Nevertheless, when using organic-rich material such as peat and charred materials, the samples should contain less than 10 mg of total organic carbon.Graphical

Optimization of the green extraction process of antioxidants derived from grape pomace

The wine industry generates a large amount of waste, such as grape pomace, which contains compounds of interest. In this study, the ecological technologies of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) were investigated to recover compounds of interest from the grape by-product. A fractional factorial design was used to explore the best extraction conditions and Box-Behnken response surface (MSR) methodology was performed for optimization using water as solvent. The best extraction conditions (time: 15 min, temperature: 65 °C, and amplitude: 70 %) resulted in the highest concentrations of phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity by the ABTS and DPPH assay. These two green technologies, ultrasound and microwaves and water as the solvent, applying a statistical optimization model allowed to improve extraction yield sustainably to find the best extraction conditions. The compounds extracted have the potential to be used in the food industry.

Valorizing date seeds in biscuits: A novel approach to incorporate bioactive components extracted from date seeds using microwave-assisted extraction

Date seeds contain various nutrients and bioactive compounds which can be utilized as functional food ingredients in a sustainable manner. This study optimized microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of bioactive compounds from defatted date seed powder (DSP) and investigated the physicochemical properties of the remaining residues from seeds of three different date varieties (Khalas, Fardh, and Khenaizi). Both, the extracts and the residues were incorporated as functional ingredients in the biscuits. Under optimal conditions: power 700 W, time 6 min, temperature 45 °C, and particle size <125μm, the total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were 15.88 mg GAE/g DSP and 8.51 mg QE/g DSP, respectively, while the antioxidant activities were 17.93, 61.68 and 39.74 mmol TE/g DSP for 2,2′ -azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrlthydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), respectively. Bioactive properties were significantly different (P<0.05) among three DSP varieties. The main phenolic compounds identified in defatted DSP were benzoic acid, catechin, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and vanillin. Moisture content, water holding capacity (WHC), and color of the defatted DSP were significantly affected by microwaves. DSP extract and residue fortified biscuits showed enhanced TPC, TFC, and antioxidant properties. This study indicates that date seeds can be successfully used in food products to promote more sustainable food production.

A green, rapid and efficient protocol for apigenin extraction from Biophytum poterioides Edgew.

The present study standardized a green protocol for extracting apigenin from Biophytum poterioides. Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) and green extraction techniques like microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) were adopted and optimized by response surface methodology. Based on the statistically evaluated results, the optimal solvent was the choline chloride: oxalic acid (NADE 5) at a molar ratio 1:1 with 30% (v/v) of water. MAE using a solid-to-solvent ratio 1:10 for 6 min duration was identified as the optimum condition for the effective extraction of apigenin. A sixfold increase of apigenin was obtained using NADE 5 (1395.767 ± 5.083 mg/L) compared to ethanol (255.718 ± 2.930 mg/L) at the optimal condition. The FT-IR studies aided in confirming the interaction of apigenin with NADES 5. Furthermore, antioxidant studies demonstrated that the NADES 5 extract had a substantial ability to scavenge DPPH radical (IC50 =219.572 μg/ml). Appraisal of the greenness of the developed methods was evaluated using the novel Analytical GREEnness (AGREEprep) metric. The results confirmed that the combination of NADES and MAE offers a rapid and cheap alternative to conventional solvents for sustainable and green extraction and allows easy transfer of the proposed methodology to large-scale extraction of apigenin.

Effect of microwave-assisted drying and extraction of 6-Shogaol from Zingiber officinale Roscoe

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingeberaceae) is a medicinal plant widely used as food, spice, or flavoring agent worldwide. 6-Shogaol is a compound of prime interest in exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and chemopreventive effects. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of microwave-assisted drying (MAD) followed by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) so as to produce 6-Shogaol enriched Ginger with improved therapeutic benefits. Various drying techniques viz. shade drying, tray drying, microwave-assisted drying and osmotic dehydration as a pretreatment were used for drying Ginger rhizomes. The dried rhizomes were extracted by conventional solvent extraction and microwave-assisted extraction techniques and tested for content of 6-Shogaol using the newly developed HPLC method whereas total flavonoid and polyphenol content were determined using the UV spectrophotometric method. Subjecting the microwave dried Ginger to microwave-assisted extraction for 45 min at constant power level of 284 W resulted in a significant rise in the extractability of 6-Shogaol (1.660 ± 0.018), total polyphenols (855.46 ± 5.33) and flavonoids (617.97 ± 6.40) compared to the conventional method of extraction. The proposed Ginger processing method of microwave drying followed by microwave extraction outperforms traditional methods in terms of speed, convenience, and performance thus can be scaled up to industrial levels.

Evaluation of Polyphenolic Profile and Antioxidant Activity of Sea Buckthorn (Elaeagnus rhamnoides (L.) A. Nelson) Leaf and Berry Extracts Obtained via Optimized Microwave-Assisted and Accelerated Solvent Extraction

The aim of this study was to optimize parameters of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) in terms of extraction temperature and time, microwave power and cycle numbers on the phenolic content of sea buckthorn leaves and berries, using 70% ethanol (v/v) as an extraction solvent. The characterization of phenolic composition in leaf and berry extracts obtained at optimal MAE and ASE conditions was performed with UPLC/ESI-MS2, while antioxidant activity was determined using the ORAC method. The optimal extraction conditions for MAE were 60 °C, 500 W and 15 min for leaves and 60 °C, 300 W, and 10 min for berries. The optimal extraction conditions for ASE from both leaves and berries were 120 °C, 15 min, and 3 cycles. Total phenolic content (TPC) in MAE and ASE extracts from leaves was similar to the TPC determined in extracts obtained by conventional extraction (60 °C/30 min); however, ASE contributed to the higher TPC of the berry extracts. The flavonols kaempferol-3-rutinoside in the leaves and kaempferol in the berries were the most abundant phenols of sea buckthorn. A higher antioxidant activity was found in the leaf extracts obtained by ASE and it correlated with the phenolic content. In general, ASE favored the extraction of all polyphenols from leaves, while MAE was more suitable for the extraction of flavonols from berries, suggesting that the choice of the optimal extraction method is crucial with regard to the target molecules and future applications.

A Review: Subcritical Water Extraction of Organic Pollutants from Environmental Matrices.

Most organic pollutants are serious environmental concerns globally due to their resistance to biological, chemical, and photolytic degradation. The vast array of uses of organic compounds in daily life causes a massive annual release of these substances into the air, water, and soil. Typical examples of these substances include pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Since they are persistent and hazardous in the environment, as well as bio-accumulative, sensitive and efficient extraction and detection techniques are required to estimate the level of pollution and assess the ecological consequences. A wide variety of extraction methods, including pressurized liquid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and subcritical water extraction, have been recently used for the extraction of organic pollutants from the environment. However, subcritical water has proven to be the most effective approach for the extraction of a wide range of organic pollutants from the environment. In this review article, we provide a brief overview of the subcritical water extraction technique and its application to the extraction of PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and others form environmental matrices. Furthermore, we briefly discuss the influence of key extraction parameters, such as extraction time, pressure, and temperature, on extraction efficiency and recovery.

Microwave-assisted extraction of Lawsonia inermis L. leaves: Method validation, optimization, and tyrosinase-stimulating activity

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by the development of pale white patches due to a lack of melanin. Lawsonia inermis L. leaves, which contain lawsone, have been explored as a potential alternative treatment for vitiligo. This study aimed to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction of L. inermis leaves and evaluate its ability to stimulate tyrosinase activity, which is relevant to vitiligo treatment. The Box-Behnken design was employed, with three factors being varied: microwave power, time, and cycle. Two responses were monitored: extraction yield and lawsone content. To determine the lawsone content, validated high-performance liquid chromatography was utilized, which demonstrated good linearity, specificity, precision, and accuracy. The optimal conditions that provided the highest extraction yield and lawsone content were then used to evaluate the extract’s ability to stimulate tyrosinase activity. The results revealed that a microwave power of 300 W and a microwave time of 20 s for one cycle yielded an extraction yield of 12.99% ± 0.10% and a lawsone content of 94.85 ± 3.12 mg/g extract. The accuracy of the prediction, with a percent error of less than 10%, confirmed the reliability of the computer program used for data prediction. Furthermore, the extract exhibited significant stimulation of tyrosinase activity, indicating its potential usefulness in vitiligo treatment. The optimal microwave-assisted extraction method identified in this study holds promise for maximizing extraction yield and lawsone content in L. inermis leaves extract. This extract could serve as a basis for developing topical products for the treatment of vitiligo.

Optimisation Catechin Extract on Black Tea Waste (BTW) using Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) (Time Extraction and Ethanol Concentration as Parameters)

Remaining catechins from Black Tea processing can be found in significant amounts in tea waste. When using a 60% methanol organic solvent in the Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) method, as opposed to other methods, the extraction of black tea waste (BTW) results in a high polyphenol concentration. With a focus on yield extraction, antioxidant content, and catechin levels, the goal of this study is to identify the ideal alcohol solvent concentration and the impact of microwave heating duration on the extraction of BTW. The research uses a 2-factor Central Composite Design (CCD), which was created using Design Expert 9 Free Trial software. Factor I represents the microwave heating duration (4–8 minutes), while factor II represents the concentration of the alcohol solvent (60–80%). According to the results, the ideal conditions—a 62.74% alcohol solvent concentration and an 8-minute heating period—got a desirability of 74.20%. The expected yield was 54.8399% under these ideal circumstances, the antioxidant content (IC50) was 7.50516 ppm, and the catechin level was 92.0558%. The yield, antioxidant content (IC50), and catechin level of the verification results were 54.62%, 14.38847, and 94.74%, respectively, with response variations of 0.403%, 47.43%, and 2.833%.

Microwave‐Assisted Extraction of Polysaccharides From the Abelmoschus sagittifolius: Optimization, Structure, and Bioactivity

The aim of this study was to extract polysaccharides from Abelmoschus sagittifolius using the microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) method. Three independent variables, including extraction temperature, microwave power, and microwave time, were chosen for investigation through single‐factor experiments. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a Box‐Behnken design (BBD) was utilized to optimize the extraction conditions. The study found that the optimal conditions for polysaccharide extraction were a temperature of 63°C, a microwave power of 650 W, and a duration of 58 min. The polysaccharide yield under these conditions was 29.8 g/100 g, closely matching the experimental yield of 30.1 g/100 g. This yield was approximately 1.15 times higher than the yield achieved through conventional extraction methods (heat reflux extraction (HE) method). The study also demonstrated that polysaccharides extracted using the MAE method exhibited improved antioxidant capacity and enzyme inhibition and displayed significant inhibitory effects on HepG2 cells compared to the conventional extraction method. Moreover, the polysaccharides obtained from the optimized MAE process had a lower molecular weight and higher polydispersity than the HE method. These findings indicate that MAE is a promising, efficient, and environmentally friendly technology for extracting polysaccharides from A. sagittifolius.

Optimization of power, duration, and water in solanesol extraction from virginia nicotiana tabacum l. leaves assisted by microwave-ultrasound using response surface methodology

Solanesol is an aliphatic terpene alcohol composed of nine isoprene units with many bioactive benefits and is commonly found in Solanaceae, including tobacco. Solanesol is difficult to synthesize artificially; Therefore, acquisition still relies on extraction. Extraction methods such as microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) have reduced extraction time and solvent consumption. Some variables that influence extraction performance in MAE are solvent selection, extraction time, microwave power, and sample-to-solvent ratio (S/F). This research aims to find the optimum parameters for the extraction of solanesol from Virginia variety tobacco leaves using the response surface methodology approach. This study considered the extraction time (30, 60, and 90 seconds), sample-to-water ratio (S/F) (1:1, 1:3, and 1:6), and microwave power (200, 400, and 600 W) were optimized. Solanesol from the extraction was quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the yield response was then processed using Design Expert to obtain optimum variables of MAE. This study shows that the optimum condition for the MAE process was 10 mL of water, with a power of 324.581 W for 30 seconds and a predicted solanesol yield of 2.926%.

Using HCL solvent, the noni extract was then identified as having flavonoids. The results showed that flavonoid compounds were present in a 70% alcohol extract of noni fruit.

Green3: A green extraction of green additives for green plastics

PLA/PBAT bioplastic is a commercial biodegradable plastic employed for packaging and several food and agriculture applications. In this regard, properties such as the antioxidant ability to extend food shelf life and light resistance, are of great interest in the production of packaging and mulching films, respectively. These features are obtained by developing blends with pure chemicals and/or natural products as additives. In the present work blend formulations of PLA/PBAT with a walnut shell extract rich in antioxidants were developed and evaluated for their properties in comparison with classic PLA/PBAT. Specifically, natural additives, and most importantly the production process were purposely selected to i) be green and cost-effective; ii) confer antioxidant properties; and iii) improve material performance.To this aim, a walnut shell extract (EWS) with high antioxidant activity was obtained thanks to a novel green and cost-effective microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure. A response surface methodology was utilized to explore how the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity are influenced by varying aqueous ethanol concentration, extraction time, and microwave power. The highest predicted TPC and antioxidant activity were achieved when employing the ideal conditions for Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE): using a mixture of 30 % ethanol in water, an irradiation time of 120 s, and a microwave power of 670 W. The optimized EWS was characterized by HPLC-MS determining qualitative and quantitative data with the identification of flavonoids, fatty acids, and anacardic acids among the main components, responsible for antioxidant activity. The resulting EWS powder was melt-mixed at 140C° and 20 RPM with the bio-based PLA/PBAT bioplastic at two different concentrations (0.5 and 1.5 w/w) by forming film specimens. All EWS-based bioplastic films showed increased antioxidant features determined by the DPPH bleaching test, TEAC, and ORAC assays. The films keep the antioxidant capacity even after 7 days of UV-accelerated aging. Remarkably, adding 1.5 % EWS boosted the bioplastic UV light resistance, reducing the abatement of molecular masses by more than 60 % without affecting mechanical properties.

Citric acid-glycerol-based NADES for microwave-assisted extraction enhances the polyphenols level of Eleutherine bulbosa mill. Urb. Bulbs

Natural deep eutectic solvent combined with Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is considered as a potential green substitute for conventional extraction methods because of its selectivity and shorter extraction time. Eleutherine bulbosa Mill Urb. (E. bulbosa) bulbs, is renowned for having a high concentration of bioactive substances, primarily phenolics compounds with various therapeutic characteristics. This study aims to increase the level of total phenolics content (TPC) in E. bulbosa bulbs extract by applying a citric acid-glycerol (CA-Gly)-MAE and to optimize its extraction conditions using response surface methodology-based box-behnken design. In this study, we extracted dried samples under various conditions including microwave irradiation time and power, solid–liquid, sample-solvent ratio, and CA-Gly ratio. The measurements of TPC value were done spectrophotometrically and gallic acid was used as standard reference. The recommended optimum conditions were at 50% microwave power for 15 minutes, ratio of 1:14 g/ml, and CA-Gly ratio of 1:1 g/g, resulting in a predicted TPC value of 74.749 ± 3.716 mg GAE/g DW extract. Confirmation experiments were conducted using the recommended optimal extraction parameters, and the obtained TPC value was 84.653 ± 0.918 mg GAE/g DW extract. Our result demonstrates the potential of the CA-Gly-MAE for obtaining a higher yield of polyphenols from E. bulbosa bulbs.

Standardization of microwave-assisted extraction procedures for characterizing non-labile metallic nanoparticles in environmental solid samples by means of single particle ICP-MS

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) treatments seem to be a promising sample preparation strategy to isolate nanomaterials (NMs) from environmental samples prior to single particle inductively coupled plasma mass (spICP-MS) determination.

Microwave-assisted extraction, separation, and chromogenic detection of laced marijuana for presumptive point-of-interdiction testing.

Presumptive drug screening enables timely procurement of search and arrest warrants and represents a crucial first step in crime scene analysis. Screening also reduces the burden on forensic laboratories which often face insurmountable backlogs. In most scenarios, on-site presumptive drug screening relies on chemical field tests for initial identification. However, even when used appropriately, these test kits remain limited to subjective colorimetric analysis, produce false positive or negative results with excessive sample quantities, and are known to cross-react with numerous innocuous substances. Previous efforts to develop microfluidic devices that incorporate these chromogenic indicator reagents address only a few of the many challenges associated with these kits. This is especially true for samples where the drug of interest is present as a lacing agent. This work describes the development of a centrifugal microfluidic device capable of integrating facile sample preparation, by way of a 3D printed snap-on cartridge amenable to microwave assisted extraction, followed by chromatographic separation and chromogenic detection on-disc. As cannabis is among the most widely used controlled substance worldwide, and displays strong interference with these indicator reagents, mock samples of laced marijuana are used for a proof-of-concept demonstration. Post extraction, the microdevice completes high throughput metering just prior to simultaneous reaction with four of the most commonly employed microchemical tests, followed by objective image analysis in CIELAB (a device-independent color model). Separation and recovery of a representative controlled substance with 93% efficiency is achieved. Correct identification, according to hierarchical cluster analysis, of three illicit drugs (e.g., heroin, phencyclidine, and cocaine) in artificially laced samples is also demonstrated on-disc. The cost effective microdevice is capable of complete automation post-extraction, with a total analysis time (including extraction) of <8 min. Finally, sample consumption is minimized, thereby preventing the complete destruction of forensic evidence.

Garcinia dulcis and Garcinia forbesii King fruit peel extract: Secondary metabolite composition, antioxidant, and elastase inhibitory activity evaluation.

Garcinia dulcis and Garcinia forbesii King are native plants from Indonesia and have tremendous potential as a source of raw medicines based on local wisdom. However, scientific data for strengthening pharmaceuticals are still limited. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to strengthen and develop the potential of both plants using the approach of traditional medicine. This study aimed to explore the secondary metabolite composition and biological activity (antioxidant and antielastase) of both plants. Both samples were extracted using 70% ethanol and microwave-assisted extraction with a microwave power of 120 watts for 15 min. The extract obtained was then screened for phytochemicals using specific reagents. The total phenolic content (TPC) was determined using spectrophotometry with a 96-well microplate reader method. The total flavonoid content (TFC) was determined using the colorimetric method, whereas metabolite profiling analysis was conducted using the UPLC-QToF-MS/MS system. Meanwhile, biological activity was tested for antioxidant activity and antielastase as measured by a microplate reader 96-well spectrophotometry method at specific wavelengths. According to the results, G. dulcis and G. forbesii fruit peel extracts showed positive detection of particular secondary metabolites. TPC and TFC values were 13.98 ± 1.90 mg GAE/g and 10.33 ± 1.90 mg QE/g for G. dulcis and 11.98 ± 2.04 mgGAE/g and 1.96 ± 0.36 mgQE/g for G. forbesii. Metabolite profiling detected some compounds from G. dulcis, including ephedrannin B, hinokiflavone, mahuannin J, and candidate mass C9H12O8, and G. forbesii, including 5-Hydroxy-7,8,2'- trimethoxyflavone, lucialdehyde B, candidate mass C21H39NO4, candidate mass C14H10O6, and candidate mass C14H12O6. Meanwhile, the biological activities (antioxidant and antielastase) were 137.721 μg/mL and 108.893 μg/mL for G. dulcis and 481.948 μg/mL and 250.611 μg/mL for G. forbesii, respectively. Both plants showed different profiles of secondary metabolites and biological activities (antioxidant and antielastase) according to their respective characteristics.

Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction of total flavonoid content from red betel leaf (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav) and its correlation with antioxidant and antibacterial activities using response surface methodology

The optimization of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was conducted using response surface methods to improve the extraction of flavonoids from Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav leaf. The optimization process included a Box–Behnken experimental design (BBD), which involved three variables at three levels. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of varying ethanol concentrations (50%, 75%, and 100%), microwave power levels (180, 300, and 450 W), and extraction durations (3, 8.5, and 14 minutes) on the respective responses. The experimental data was subjected to fitting using a second-order polynomial model. Subsequently, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis were employed to assess the adequacy of the model and determine the ideal settings. Taking into account the highest concentration of extracted total flavonoids, as well as the antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The experimental results indicate that the optimum conditions for all the reactions under investigation were an ethanol concentration of 78.48%, a microwave power of 327.96 W, and an extraction duration of 8.60 minutes. Under the ideal conditions, the anticipated outcomes of the sample indicate a total flavonoid content (TFC) of 229.647 mg QE/g dry weight (DW), a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity of 73.915%, and an inhibition zone measuring 18.621 mm. The implementation of a concurrent MAE methodology for the isolation of total flavonoids, as well as the evaluation of antioxidant and antibacterial properties from P. crocatum, signifies the recognition of the extract as a significant reservoir of bioactive substances.
