In this research, optimal conditions for extraction of caffeine and polyphenols were established from Iranian green tea leaves. In the first step, caffeine was extracted with efficacy about 86% versed to 4.5% of EGC + EGCG. The EGCG + EGC was extracted from partially decaffeinated green tea leaves through microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (USE) with efficiency levels of 95 and 85%, respectively. The best results for the MAE process were obtained with 7.8 min and three number of extraction cycles and for the USE process were as followed: time 57 min, temperature 65 °C, and the number of extraction cycles 3. The total phenol content values at the best conditions of MAE and the USE processes were 125 ± 5 and 96 ± 6 mg gallic acid/g DW. The 50% inhibition (IC) on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were 56 and 66 mg/g of phenol for the MAE and USE processes.
In this research, migration of bisphenol A from epoxy resin into 64 food simulants including tuna fish cans, eggplant cans and cherries cans have been measured. The effective of storage time in the range 0-180 days and storage temperature at 25 and 45 C were investigated. Microwave-assisted extraction and low-density solvent based on microextraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography has been applied to analyze migrated-BPA. The limit of detection 2.7 ng ml À1 and limit of quantification 9.33 ng ml À1 were obtained for the proposed method. The results confirmed that the migration of BPA has been increased with raising the storage time and temperature. Also, the migration of BPA in oily simulant was higher than acidic simulant. The migrated-BPA concentration range has been measured in the range 3.42-4165 ng ml À1 . The highest amount of migrated-BPA has been found for simulant of tuna fish cans at 45 C and the lowest amount of migrated-BPA has been detected for simulant of cherries cans at 25 C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
