“…All of these advantages explain why many authors have applied PLE as the extraction technique in their research. Woloszyn et al, applied PLE to obtain antioxidant extracts from Mentha pulegium , Equisetum giganteum, and Sida cordifolia , for evaluating the yield, total phenolic content (TPC), and flavonoid content [ 8 ]. In the same way, Ho et al, optimized the PLE methodology for TPC, gallic acid, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA) from Pseuderanthemum palatiferum (Nees) Radlk.…”

Asparagus officinalis L. is a common vegetable widely consumed due to its high consumer acceptance. In addition to its flavor, green asparagus contains a high amount of bioactive compounds with health-promoting effects. In this sense, the growing concern of the public health system to promote a diet with a higher consumption of vegetables makes research on phytochemicals from this food of interest. In order to study the content of bioactive compounds from plant matrices, the combination of advanced extraction and analytical techniques within the context of green chemistry is an indispensable working model in today’s research. In the present experimental work, the composition of the phytochemicals of green asparagus from the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) located in Huétor Tájar, Granada (Spain), was evaluated by environmentally friendly extraction techniques. In order to carry out this work, the recovery of bioactive compounds was evaluated by pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) using GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) solvents (mixtures of water and ethanol). The extraction was optimized using a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on a 24 factorial Central Composite Design (CCD). The experimental model was followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI-TOF-MS) analytical methodology for a comprehensive characterization. The optimized methodology was compared with conventional solid–liquid extraction protocols using ethanol and water. The results highlighted the potential of advanced PLE techniques compared to conventional systems for the recovery of green asparagus phytochemicals. Moreover, the analytical characterization allowed the identification and quantitation of major phenolic compounds belonging to phenolic acids and flavonoids families. Therefore, an easy, fast, and novel methodology to optimize the extraction of bioactive compounds from green asparagus has been optimized, using Green and GRAS methodology, which enables a better understanding of the bioactive composition of this widely consumed food.
