The world during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to extensive use of virtual activities by means of electronic devices, which are made up of rare earth elements (REEs). This means that quantitative knowledge of REEs in various resources is crucial for the development of effective recovery methods. Therefore, this report describes a simple microwave assisted ashing followed by ultrasound-assisted extraction (MAA-UAE) for quantitative determination of REEs in coal samples using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Firstly, coal samples were ashed at 55 °C for 4.5 h to form white ashes, which were then treated with dilute HNO3 acid under ultrasonication to enhance the extraction of REEs. The quantitative recoveries (86–120%) of REEs were obtained when 1 mol L−1, 0.1 g, 40 °C, 20 min, and high frequency were applied for [HNO3], sample mass, ultrasonic bath temperature, extraction time, and ultrasonic bath frequency, respectively. The method detection limits of the proposed MAA-UAE method were between 0.0075 and 0.59 µg g−1 with satisfactory precision (<5%). The concentration levels of REEs in South African coals ranged from 1.4 to 105 µg g−1, suggesting that this coal can be a resource for REEs.

Pewarna alami lebih disukai karena tidak memiliki efek yang negatif terhadap tubuh manusia sehingga mempunyai tingkat keamanan pangan yang tinggi, selain itu juga pewarna alami mudah diuraikan. Bahan pewarna alami bisa diperoleh dari berbagai jenis sumber, salah satunya yaitu spesies alga yang merupakan tumbuhan tingkat rendah di perairan. Alga terdapat 2 jenis yaitu makroalga yang berukuran besar dan mikroalga yang berukuran kecil (renik). Spesies mikroalga yang dapat menghasilkan pewarna alami salah satunya adalah Spirulina. Jenis pewarna alami yang terkandung pada mikroalga tersebut yaitu fikosianin. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan ekstraksi fikosianin dari Spirulina platensis dengan menggunakan tiga metode berbeda yaitu Maserasi, Ultrasound-Assisted-Extraction (UAE) dan Freezing untuk mengetahui metode mana untuk menghasilkan yield dan antioksidan tertinggi dari ekstrak yang dihasilkan. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa berdasarkan nilai yield tertinggi dan kandungan fikosianin, freezing merupakan metode ekstraksi terbaik dengan kandungan fikosianin yang paling tinggi yaitu sebesar 26,53%. Sedangkan nilai aktivitas antioksidan terbesar dihasilkan oleh metode ekstraksi maserasi dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 49,59 ppm. Fikosianin yang dihasilkan dari ketiga metode ekstraksi termasuk antioksidan kuat.KATA KUNCI: ekstraksi, Spirulina plantesis, fikosianin, biopigmen, antioksidanEXTRACTION OF PHYCOCYANIN FROM SPIRULINA PLANTESIS FOR BIOPIGMENT AND ANTIOXIDANTABSTRACTRecently, biopigment known as a pigment which has no impact and easy to degradated in human body and better than artificial pigment. Biopigment can be resulted from the extraction of algae that are living in the water. Spirulina plantesis is one of algae resulting a pigment and known as phycocyanin. In this research, extraction of phycocyanin was done by three method of extractions; maceration, Ultrasound-Assisted-Extraction (UAE) and Freeze-thaw. Those extraction methods were compared to decide which method that resulted highest yield of extraction and has highest antioxidant activities. From the resulted data, the highest yield and highest phycocyanin concentration was obtained by freeze-thaw extraction method. Phycocyanin concentration from freeze-thaw ectract was 26,53% (w/w). However, the highest antioxidant activities was obtained by maceraion extraction mehod. The IC50 of extract from maceration was 49,59 ppm. Hence, all extracts from different extraction methods resulted high antioxidant activities.

AbstractThe purpose of this review is to describe and compare selected traditional and modern extraction methods employed in the isolation of isoflavonoids from plants. Conventional methods such as maceration, percolation, or Soxhlet extraction are still frequently used in phytochemical analysis. Despite their flexibility, traditional extraction techniques have significant drawbacks, including the need for a significant investment of time, energy, and starting material, and a requirement for large amounts of potentially toxic solvents. Moreover, these techniques are difficult to automate, produce considerable amount of waste and pose a risk of degradation of thermolabile compounds. Modern extraction methods, such as: ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and negative pressure cavitation extraction, can be regarded as remedies for the aforementioned problems. This manuscript discusses the use of the most relevant extraction techniques in the process of isolation of isoflavonoids, secondary metabolites that have been found to have a plethora of biological and pharmacological activities.

The extraction of chili oil and capsaicin from chili using some different method such as Soxhlet, maceration, ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol as a modifier was studied in this work. The results showed that the main component of chili oil is polyunsaturated fatty acids (representing 77.4%); mainly oleic acid and linoleic acid. The highest yield of oil and capsaicin were 0,5358g/g and 2,9534mg/g material; achieved from microwave-assisted extraction method. However, the highest selectivity was 1.77% with supercritical fluid extraction method. With additional co-solvent, the concentration of capsaicin increased but the selectivity decreased.

AbstractThe grape pomace is a by-product from the industrial processing of grape juice, which can be used as a source of bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to separate the phenolic compounds from grape pomace using an acidic aqueous solution with 2 % citric acid as a solvent, using both ultrasound-assisted extraction, with powers of 250, 350 and 450 W and times of 5, 10 and 15 min, and microwave-assisted extraction using powers of 600, 800 and 1,000 W and times of 5, 7 and 10 min. The results showed that for both methods of extraction, the contents of total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by ABTS and DPPH increased with time, and microwave at 1,000 W for 10 min corresponded to the best extraction condition. However, the contents of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were lower than exhaustive extraction using acidified methanol solution.

Consumers are becoming more mindful of their well-being. Increasing awareness of the many beneficial properties of peppermint essential oil (EO) has significantly increased product sales in recent years. Hydrodistillation (HD), a proven conventional method, and a possible alternative in the form of microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MWHD) have been used to isolate peppermint EO. Standard Soxhlet and alternatively supercritical fluid (SFE), microwave-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted extraction separated the lipid extracts. The distillations employed various power settings, and the EO yield varied from 0.15 to 0.80%. The estimated environmental impact in terms of electricity consumption and CO2 emissions suggested that MWHD is an energy efficient way to reduce CO2 emissions. Different extraction methods and solvent properties affected the lipid extract yield, which ranged from 2.55 to 5.36%. According to the corresponding values of statistical parameters, empiric mathematical models were successfully applied to model the kinetics of MWHD and SFE processes.
