Crucial Role of Surfactants in Improving the Extraction Efficiency of β-Amyrin from Dischidia major Using Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Coupled with Gas Bubble Flotation
Abstract:Ultrasound-assisted extraction coupled with gas bubble
flotation
was developed as a green method for extracting β-amyrin fromDischidia major. The solvent system was water:ethanol
(9:1). To improve the adsorption of β-amyrin onto the air/liquid
interface during flotation, surfactants were employed; however, the
positive effect was only observed with cationic surfactants. High-performance
liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection (HPLC-PDA)
was, for the first time, applied to quantify the β-amyrin … Show more
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.
