Green and Optimum Extraction of Total Polyphenols Content from Mitragyna speciosa Korth. Havil Leaves using Microwave- Assisted Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent Extraction

Abstract

The current study mainly aims to apply and optimize the microwave-assisted natural deep eutectic solvent extraction (MANDESE) method of total polyphenol content from Mitragyna speciosa (Korth.) Havil leaves using response surface methodology (RSM) and its extraction mechanism using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. The extraction process was performed using the maceration and MANDESE method. Total polyphenols content was examined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and spectrophotometer UV-Vis. The extraction mechanism was performed using SEM imaging. The extraction condition as experimental design variable factors for optimization using RSM included NADES composition ratio, the liquid-solid ratio, extraction time, and microwave power. The results show that the MANDESE with some different combinations of NADES composition is more effective than a maceration. SEM imaging result shows that the levels of damage of cells and cell walls were more severe after extraction. The optimum extraction condition has obtained the NADES composition ratio of 3 g/g (choline chloride/sorbitol) and the liquid-solid ratio of 20 mL/g for 20 min extraction time with 60% Watts microwave power. The scale-up confirmation test was obtained the total polyphenols content of 526.12 µg GAE/g sample. This finding demonstrated the optimum condition of the MANDESE method and performed efficiently, rapidly, safely, and environmentally friendly.

The Greening of Anthocyanins: Eco-Friendly Techniques for Their Recovery from Agri-Food By-Products

“…Natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES) have been increasing in popularity over the last two decades as promising candidates for the green extraction of bioactive compounds from several plant materials since, by varying polarity, viscosity, and extraction temperature, they can be successfully used for the recovery of both polar and non-polar natural products [65][66][67][68][69][70]. They represent a new class of ionic liquid analogs, generally based on mixtures of natural compounds, usually obtained by the complexation of quaternary ammonium salt (working as Hydrogen Bond Acceptor, HBA) with a metal salt or hydrogen bond donor (HBD); this complexation causes the delocalization of the electric charges, resulting in a decrease in the melting point in the mixture relative to the melting points of the individual components [71,72].…”

“…However, extraction time is an important parameter for the industrial application, and due to prolonged operation, they are difficult to be applied on a large scale and could lead to polyphenols oxidation. Prabowo et al [ 40 ] found that extraction time affected the extraction yield of TPC. Finally, the solvent:solid ratio was slightly low, which can be explained by the mass transfer principles.…”
