Abstract
This work aimed to obtain extracts from Costus spicatus leaves through ultrasonic pretreatment in supercritical CO2 extraction (UAE+SFE). A central composite design was used to evaluate the influence of temperature (36–64 °C), pressure (8–20 MPa), and cosolvent (0–20 %w) in terms of overall yield and chemical composition. Morphology using scanning electron micrograph (SEM), total phenolic content, content of total flavonoid, antioxidant (DPPH and ABTS), and antibacterial activities were evaluated. UAE+SFE showed a more notable overall yield, with 6.97 %. In the SEM, the sample treated with UAE+SFE significantly impacted tissue structures, improving the selectivity of SFE regarding linolenic acid, leading to a maximum composition value of 62.5 % area according to GC-MS. Furthermore, the UAE+SFE extract exhibited strong antimicrobial activity compared to the extract obtained by the SFE technique. Based on the pioneering results, the bioactives obtained are promising and interesting for application in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
