The investigation presented herein had as its scope the development of an integrated process for the efficient extraction of polyphenols from hop. For this purpose, a novel, natural deep eutectic solvent (DES) was synthesised, composed of glycerol and L-alanine, and the process was optimised by deploying a response surface methodology based on a Box–Behnken design. The variables considered were the DES/water proportion, the liquid-to-solid ratio and the stirring speed. Under the optimised conditions, the yield in total polyphenols achieved was 118.97 ± 8.27 mg gallic acid equivalents per g of dry mass. Ultrasonication, incorporated into the process as a pretreatment step, was shown to significantly change the kinetic pattern of polyphenol extraction and contributed to attaining higher yields only at 80 °C, whereas at lower temperatures a supressing effect was observed. Furthermore, increasing temperature was negatively correlated with the second-order extraction rates, evidencing a slow-down of the extraction rate at elevated temperatures.

S. fruticosa, collectively known as Cretan sage, is a medicinal plant to which a number of bioactivities have been attributed. In spite of its importance in nutrition and pharmacy, reports on the extraction of major polyphenols using sustainable processes are particularly limited. In this study, three common cyclodextrins, namely, methyl β-cyclodextrin (m-β-CD), hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), were tested as green boosters of aqueous extraction of polyphenols from aerial parts of S. fruticosa. To examine simultaneously important extraction parameters, including the concentration of cyclodextrins (CCD), pH, and liquid-to-solid ratio (RL/S), a Box–Behnken design was chosen, with three central points. Temperature effects on the extraction yield were also considered, by carrying out kinetics. The results showed that m-β-CD was the most effective extraction booster, providing total polyphenols yields that amounted to 98.39 mg gallic acid equivalents g−1 dry mass. The kinetic assay demonstrated that extraction was highly effective at 80 °C, increasing significantly polyphenol yield, as well as the ferric-reducing power and antiradical activity of the extracts. It was also proven that extraction with m-β-CD was the least energy-demanding process. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry examination revealed that m-β-CD might possess higher affinity for luteolin 7-O-glucuronide extraction, but β-CD for rosmarinic acid extraction.

Moringa oleifera L. leaves are a plant tissue particularly rich in polyphenolic phytochemicals with significant bioactivities, and there has been significant recent interest for the production of extracts enriched in these substances. The current investigation is aimed at establishing a green extraction process, using a novel eco-friendly natural deep eutectic solvent, composed of glycerol and nicotinamide. Furthermore, sample ultrasonication prior to batch stirred-tank extraction was studied to examine its usefulness as a pretreatment step. Optimization of the extraction process through response surface methodology showed that the maximum total polyphenol yield (82.87 ± 4.28 mg gallic acid equivalents g−1 dry mass) could be achieved after a 30 min ultrasonication pretreatment, but the difference with the yield obtained from the non-pretreated sample was statistically non-significant (p < 0.05). Extraction kinetics revealed that the activation energy for the ultrasonication-pretreated samples was more energy-demanding, a fact attributed to phenomena pertaining to washing of the readily extracted polyphenols during pretreatment. Liquid-chromatography-diode array-mass spectrometry showed that ultrasonication pretreatment may have a limited positive effect on polyphenol extractability, but the overall polyphenolic profile was identical for the ultrasonication-pretreated and non-pretreated samples.

The present study aims to optimize the natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) as a green solvent-based microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of total polyphenols content (TPC) from Mitragyna speciosa Korth Havil leaves using response surface methodology (RSM). Preparation of natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) as a green solvent was performed by melting the two-component of malic acid and glucose using a magnetic stirrer. The leaves sample was extracted using the NADES-MAE method with various extraction conditions with four factors and three levels (Box Behnken Design) and optimized using RSM with licensed software of Design Expert V12. TPC was determined using a Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and absorbance was measured on a UV-VIS spectrophotometer at 770 nm and gallic acid as a standard. This study was obtained the optimum extraction conditions include: NADES ratio (malic acid: glucose) of 1:2 g/g, 50% microwave power, a solvent-sampel ratio of 12:1 mL/g, and extraction time for 7 minutes. The optimum conditions were obtained according to the equation formula: TPC = 165.17 – 33.97X1 + 38.36X2 – 6.08X3 + 16.12X4 – 62.77X1X2 + 79.61X12X2, where a R2 value = 0.7102 with a TPC prediction of 402.087±43.81 mg GAE/g sample. These conditions can be used to extract TPC from this plant efficiently, quickly, easily, and environmentally friendly.

Kadamba (Mitragyna speciosa Korth Havil) merupakan salah satu tumbuhan endemik di Asia Tenggara, di Indonesia, tumbuhan ini banyak di jumpai di pulau Kalimantan. Tumbuhan ini dipercaya oleh masyarakat dapat mengobati berbagai macam penyakit. Namun, karena kandungan alkaloidnya, tumbuhan ini dilarang digunakan sebagai bahan baku obat herbal oleh Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pengembangan metode ekstraksi untuk menarik senyawa metabolit sekunder target dan meminimalkan senyawa yang tidak diinginkan yaitu dengan menggunakan metode ekstraksi berbantu mikrowave dengan pelarut hijau (Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent) yang dioptimasi menggunakan response surface methodology (RSM). Simplisia kering daun Kadamba diekstraksi menggunakan metode ekstraksi berbantu mikrowave dengan pelarut hijau (asam sitrat-glukosa) dengan berbagai kondisi ekstraksi dengan empat faktor dan tiga level (Box Behnken Design) yang dioptimasi menggunakan RSM dengan aplikasi perangkat lunak Design Expert versi 12 berlisensi. Penetapan kadar polifenol total dilakukan menggunakan reagen Folin-Ciocalteau dan diukur absorbansinya pada spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada panjang gelombang 770 nm, serta asam gallat sebagai standar. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diperoleh kondisi optimum pada perbandingan rasio pelarut NADES (asam sitrat : glukosa) 5:1 g/g, rasio pelarut-sampel sebesar 1:20 g/mL, waktu ekstraksi selama 20 menit dan kekuatan gelombang mikro sebesar 30% dengan kadar polifenol total prediksi sebesar 314,924 ±35,95 mg GAE/g sampel, sedangkan dari hasil proses verifikasi (scale-up confirmation) yaitu dengan meningkatkan jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak sepuluh kali lipat dengan Kadar polifenol total diperoleh  sebesar 427,12 ±35,95 mg GAE/g. Penelitian ini merupakan langkah awal dalam pengembangan metode ekstraksi untuk memperoleh senyawa target secara cepat, mudah, efisien, dan ramah lingkungan.

Co-crystals are one of the most popular ways to modify the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) without changing pharmacological activity through non-covalent interactions with one or more co-formers. A “green method” has recently prompted many researchers to develop solvent-free techniques or minimize solvents for arranging the eco-friendlier process of co-crystallization. Researchers have also been looking for less-risk co-formers that produce the desired API’s physicochemical properties. This review purposed to collect the report studies of amino acids as the safe co-former and explored their advantages. Structurally, amino acids are promising co-former candidates as they have functional groups that can form hydrogen bonds and increase stability through zwitterionic moieties, which support strong interactions. The co-crystals and deep eutectic solvent yielded from this natural compound have been proven to improve pharmaceutical performance. For example, l-glutamine could reduce the side effects of mesalamine through an acid-base stabilizing effect in the gastrointestinal fluid. In addition, some amino acids, especially l-proline, enhances API’s solubility and absorption in its natural deep eutectic solvent and co-crystals systems. Moreover, some ionic co-crystals of amino acids have also been designed to increase chiral resolution. Therefore, amino acids are safe potential co-formers, which are suitable for improving the physicochemical properties of API and prospective to be developed further in the dosage formula and solid-state syntheses.
