The Response Surface Optimization of Supercritical CO2 Modified with Ethanol Extraction of p-Anisic Acid from Acacia mearnsii Flowers and Mathematical Modeling of the Mass Transfer
Abstract:A widely disseminated native species from Australia, Acacia mearnsii, which is mainly cultivated in Brazil and South Africa, represents a rich source of natural tannins used in the tanning process. Many flowers of the Acacia species are used as sources of compounds of interest for the cosmetic industry, such as phenolic compounds. In this study, supercritical fluid extraction was used to obtain non-volatile compounds from A. mearnsii flowers for the first time. The extract showed antimicrobial activity and the… Show more
“…In an application-based study, da Silva et al [ 8 ] proposed the use of supercritical CO 2 to extract non-volatile compounds from A. mearnsii flowers. They concluded that the extracted essence showed antimicrobial activity.…”
