The influence of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and solvent extraction of oils from cloudberry, bilberry, and black currant seeds on the yield, chemical properties, and recovery of antioxidant compounds was investigated. SFE was performed for 1 h at 350 bar and at 50°C and 80°C. Fatty acids, vitamin E, carotenoids, and free radical-scavenging activity (DPPH) were assayed. SFE at 80°C resulted in higher oil yields for cloudberry and black currant seeds. The oils were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (66.8%–75.9% w/w), with high percentages of linoleic and α-linolenic acids. The black currant seed extracts had the highest concentrations of vitamin E (range, 113.0–241.8 mg/100 g oil) and carotenoids (range, 11.5–32.3 mg/100 g oil) and the highest antioxidant activity. The cloudberry seed oils also had high antioxidant content and activity. These findings indicate the potential of SFE for the recovery of PUFA and antioxidant compounds in berry by-products.

Abstract The extraction of the antioxidant compounds from rosemary can be achieved by means of various processes, such as hydrodistillation, soxhlet extraction, microwave-accelerated hydrodistillation (MAHD) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The aim of our study was to optimize SFE variables such as extraction pressure, extraction temperature and static extraction time for the maximum extraction of carnosol and carnosic acid from Venezuelan rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) leaves by using 23 full factorial and Box-Behnken designs and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The chemical characterization of the supercritical fluid extracts was achieved by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the antioxidant activity was determined by the peroxide index assay. For the extraction of carnosol, the variables of extraction temperature and static extraction time were statistically significant, and for the extraction of carnosic acid, only the extraction temperature-static extraction time interaction was significant. At a fixed pressure, the highest extraction of carnosol and carnosic acid were achieved when the operational extraction conditions of extraction temperature and static extraction time were set at 48°C for 69 min and 64°C for 57 min, respectively. SFE extracts presented higher antioxidant activities than commercial and soxhlet extracts, and pure dibutyl hidroxytoluene (BHT). Since the carnosic acid/carnosol ratios presented in our SFE extracts are higher than those from other countries, possibly it would be expected that higher antioxidant activity values would be obtained for the Venezuelan extracts.

Given the health-beneficial properties of compounds from hop, there is still a growing trend towards developing successful extraction methods with the highest yield and also receiving the products with high added value. The aim of this study was to develop efficient extraction method for isolation of bioactive compounds from the Polish “Marynka” hop variety. The modified two-step supercritical fluid extraction allowed to obtain two hop samples, namely crude extract (E1), composed of α-acids, β-acids, and terpene derivatives, as well as pure xanthohumol with higher yield than that of other available methods. The post-extraction residues (R1) were re-extracted in order to obtain extract E2 enriched in xanthohumol. Then, both samples were subjected to investigation of their antibacterial (anti-acne, anti-caries), cytotoxic, and anti-proliferative activities in vitro. It was demonstrated that extract (E1) possessed more beneficial biological properties than xanthohumol. It exhibited not only better antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria strains (MIC, MBC) but also possessed a higher synergistic effect with commercial antibiotics when compared to xanthohumol. Moreover, cell culture experiments revealed that crude extract neither inhibited viability nor divisions of normal skin fibroblasts as strongly as xanthohumol. In turn, calculated selectivity indexes showed that the crude extract had from slightly to significantly better selective anti-proliferative activity towards cancer cells in comparison with xanthohumol.
