Microwave-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from Carica papaya leaves: An optimization study and LC-QTOF-MS analysis

Blog Article

Carica papaya is a well-known plant with diverse importance to human beings.The efficacy of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) in the recovery of phenolic compounds from C.papaya leaf was investigated in this study.

The MAE process variables were optimized using response surface method; at the optimized conditions, the embedded phenolic compounds in the nitrile gloves in a bucket extract were identified through LC-QTOF-MS analysis.The results showed that the best MAE conditions were: time of irradiation at 3 min; microwave power of 420 W; feed-to-solvent ratio of 1:12 g/mL; and solvent concentration of 56% ethanol/water to achieve 102.59 gewehr 91 mg GAE/g d.

w.of total phenolic content (TPC).At these conditions, an aggregate of 72 phenolic compounds was tentatively identified.

These results infer that MAE as a technique can recover phenolic compounds from C.papaya leaf.Hence, the identified compounds can further be quantified with their respective pharmacological properties in future studies.
