Aqueous two-phase extraction, identification and antioxidant activity of anthocyanins from mulberry (Morus atropurpurea Roxb.)

Application of aqueous two phase systems based on polyethylene glycol and sodium citrate for the recovery of phenolic compounds from Eucalyptus wood

“…Many researchers studied various applications of ATPS for the extraction and purification of biological products (Benavides and Rito-Palomares 2008, Aguilar and Rito-Palomares 2010, Ratanapongleka 2010. Despite many recent studies on the subject, there is still no extensive information about extraction of natural antioxidants with this technique and direct application over raw materials (Hassman et al 2008, Wang et al 2008, Wu et al 2011, Xavier et al 2013). …”

In vitro bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of anthocyanins from mulberry (Morus atropurpurea Roxb.) following simulated gastro-intestinal digestion

“…Aqueous two-phase extraction was applied to extract the mulberry anthocyanins according to method published by Wu et al(2011). The defrosted mulberry fruit (10 g) was triturated, homogenized and treated with an aqueous two-phase system consisted of 30% (w/w) ethanol, 20% (w/w) ammonium sulfate.…”

Systematic qualitative and quantitative assessment of anthocyanins, flavones and flavonols in the petals of 108 lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) cultivars

“…Systematic assessment of anthocyanins, flavones and flavonols composition and content, and their relationship with the petal colour across the broader germplasm of lotus are still absent. Furthermore, these pigments are non-toxicity and eco-friendliness, and may be used as colourants, additives in desserts and other food (Wu et al, 2011). Previously, we collected more than three hundred lotus cultivars including wild cultivars and hybrids from all over the world.…”
