Ultrasonic-aided Optimisation of Phytochemicals from Ananas comosus Peel
Abstract:Pineapple (Ananas comosus) peels contain various phytochemicals, such as antioxidants and polyphenols. In this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was applied to optimise the extraction of A. comosus peels by using the Central Composite Design (CCD). The extraction of ground A. comosus peels with aqueous methanol was optimised for factors including extraction time and solvent: sample and methanol: water ratios in order to identify the responding percentage yield (PY), total phenolic content (TPC), tota… Show more
