Mediterranean plants, such as fig and olive leaves, are well-known to exert beneficial effects in humans because of the presence of a wide range of bioactive compounds. However, scarce information regarding the impact of extraction methods, such as ultrasound and types of solvents, on their profile of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds is provided. In addition, no information is available on the effects of extraction methods and solvents on the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria or promoting probiotic growth. In this scenario, this study was aimed to study the effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and solvent on the phenolic profile (Triple TOF-LC-MS/MS), antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds of olive and fig leaves. Results showed that UAE extracted more carotenoids compared to conventional extraction, while the conventional extraction impacted on higher flavonoids (olive leaves) and total phenolics (fig leaves). The antioxidant capacity of aqueous extract of fig leaves was three times higher than the extract obtained with ethanol for conventional extraction and four times higher for UAE. In general terms, hydroethanolic extracts presented the highest bacterial growth inhibition, and showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity. In conclusion, these side streams can be used as sources of bioactive compounds for further development of high-added-value products.

Abstract Byproducts such as orange peel have potential uses because of their bioactive compounds, which are important for their potential to reduce the risk factors of diseases caused by aging. The lack of effective techniques and the high levels of pollution produced by the conventional extraction of bioactive compounds using organic solvents have highlighted the need to enhance the ‘green chemistry’ trend. This study evaluates the use of ultrasound to extract bioactive compounds from orange peel. The antioxidant capacity, phenolic content, ascorbic acid, total carotenoids, and HPLC profile of phenolic compounds from orange peel extracts were obtained by a physicochemical evaluation. The results demonstrate that the optimal conditions for the ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive orange peel compounds were a power of 400 W, a time of 30 min, and 50% ethanol in water. These conditions were used to obtain a total carotenoid concentration of 0.63 mg ß-carotene/100 g, vitamin C concentration of 53.78 mg AA/100 g, phenolic concentration of 105.96 mg GAE/100 g, and antioxidant capacity of ORAC = 27.08 mM TE and TEAC = 3.97 mM TE. The major phenolic compound identified in all orange peel extracts was hesperidin, with a maximum concentration of 113.03 ± 0.08 mg/100 g.

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.

The Individual

Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa L.) contains a large number of bioactive compounds, which make of it a highly nutritional and antioxidant food with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been recently seen its consumption increased because of its interesting composition and properties as a functional food. The ultrasound-assisted extraction method has been optimized, since it is a simple and fast technique to extract phenolic compounds, as well as anthocyanins, not only separately but also simultaneously. Multiple response has been optimized and demonstrated an effectiveness level similar to the individual ones. This represents a considerable reduction in costs, time and work. The optimal conditions for simultaneous extractions were: 54% methanol as extraction solvent at pH 2.72 and 69.4 °C temperature, 70% amplitude, 0.7 s cycle, and 0.5:18.2 g:mL sample mass/solvent volume ratio. The developed methods showed a high precision level with coefficients of variation lower than 5%. The methods were successfully applied to commercial samples. Additionally, the extraction of other compounds of biological interest, such as organic acids and sugars, was also studied.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is a novel methodology, belonging to the so-called “Green Chemistry”, which has gained interest in recent years due to the potential to recover bioactive compounds, especially those from plant matrices. It is widely recognized that the extraction of molecules by UAE gives rise to higher or similar yields than those obtained by traditional extraction methods. UAE has certain advantages inherent to Green Chemistry extraction methods, such as short extraction time and low solvent consumption. The aim of this review is to critically present the different variables and parameters that can be modified in UAE, such as ultrasound power, time, temperature, solvent, and solid to solvent ratio that influence yield and extraction performance.
