Enhancing recovery of bioactive compounds from Cosmos caudatus leaves via ultrasonic extraction

Abstract

Cosmos caudatus (C. caudatus) is a medicinal plant that is high in bioactive compounds such as phenolics. In this study, an ultrasound extraction method was used to optimise the extraction of bioactive compounds from C. caudatus leaves. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied to obtain the optimum extraction parameters which is solid–liquid ratio (10–30 g/mL), particle size (180–850 µm) and extraction time (20–30 min) for maximal quercitrin and total phenolic content (TPC) yields. Analysis of antimicrobial activity was performed against two human pathogenic microbes: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) by the agar well diffusion method. The optimal ultrasonic extraction condition was as follow: solvent-liquid ratio of 1:28 (g/mL), particle size of 485 µm, and duration of 30 min, respectively. Remarkably, extraction using ultrasonic method had recovered more bioactive content and antioxidant activity than the Soxhlet method. The extract also exhibited good antimicrobial activities. Due to the above findings, the ultrasonic extraction was found to be suitable to improve recovery extraction of quercitrin and TPC from C. caudatus leaves. It also opens the possibility that the plant extract can be used for functional food and antimicrobial agents in various applications.

“…1a. A longer extraction time leads to stronger diffusion of phenolic compounds, as it promotes the extension and cell wall degradation 26, 27, 31, 32. However, the TPC yield decreases at a higher amplitude.…”

“…The identified Plantago lanceolata L. is kept in Hacettepe University, Faculty of Pharmacy Herbarium with voucher specimen number HUEF21014. The ultrasonic extraction method 36 was used to prepare 50% (v/v) aqueous ethanol extract from the leaf parts of the identified plants. Then, liposome structures loaded with Plantago lanceolata L. aqueous ethanol extract (Pl-EtOH) were prepared by ethanol injection method.…”

“…The modified ultrasonic extraction method was used to prepare plant extract. 30 g powdered each of H. perforatum L. (Hp) and C. laurifolius L. (Cl) were prepared with 400 mL MeOH and ultrasonicated for 1 h, at room temperature (Latiff et al, 2021). The available aqueous extract was filtered through Whatman filter paper No.…”
