“…Extraction methods, extraction time, temperature, and type of solvents highly influence polyphenols' extraction from plants, including A. esculentus. Previous studies have used water, methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and their mixtures to extract polyphenols from flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds, and stem of A. esculentus [21,22]. Although these simple alcohols (methanol, ethanol), acetone, and ethyl acetate are environmentally friendly organic solvents [23], they are not adequately reflecting the traditional method of preparations which essentially involves using hot water maceration [6,7].…”
