“…Various organic solvents can be used for stilbene extraction and analysis. Although grapevine cane extracts are usually obtained using methanol or ethanol, there are also reports on using other solvents [29,30,42]. To select the most optimal solvent for stilbene extraction from the P. jezoensis bark, we used 100 mg of dry mass of crushed and dried bark collected in the winter and extracted stilbenes with methanol (100% and 70%), ethanol (96%, 70%, 40%), water, hexane, ethyl acetate, and acetone at 60 • C for 2 h. Determination of the most optimal temperature and time for stilbene extraction from the dried and crushed bark was carried out using methanol as a solvent at 20, 40, and 60 • C for 2, 4, and 6 h. After extraction, the extract was purified with Discovery ® DSC-18 SPE Tube bed wt.…”
