Summary: The study optimized conditions for ultrasound-assisted extraction of soluble polyphenols from Psidium cattleianum leaves using response surface methodology. The optimal UAE conditions showed higher efficiency in extracting total phenolics compared to conventional aqueous-organic extraction method and exhibited higher antioxidant values in PC leaf extracts. Various phenolic acids and kaempferol were identified in PC leaves under UAE conditions.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of ultrasound on the extraction of bioactive compounds from garlic leaf powder. The experiment explores the optimal conditions for maximum extraction yield, total phenol content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity. The results suggest that ultrasound-assisted extraction at 53% amplitude, 13 minutes treatment time, and 50% ethanol concentration provides the highest extraction yield and bioactive compound content.

Summary: This study explored the extraction of glycyrrhizin from licorice using two glycerol-based deep eutectic solvents (GAA and GCC) and two different techniques (HAE and UAE). Optimization was done using response surface methodology (RSM) and quantification was done using HPLC. The highest yield was obtained from GAA-HAE with a temperature of 80°C, time of 25 minutes, and 50% DES concentration.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the extraction of phenolic compounds from Moroccan picholine tree leaves while minimizing the use of harmful chemicals. It was found that using ethanol as a solvent with ultrasonic extraction is the most effective and environmentally friendly technique. The extraction conditions were optimized using a surface response method and the identified phenolic compounds included hydroxytyrosol, catechin, caffeic acid, vanillin, naringin, oleuropein, quercetin, and kaempferol.

Summary: This study investigated and optimized the ultrasonic-assisted extraction and quantification of caffeine and polyphenols from green tea using 2(3)-full factorial design and high-performance thin-layer chromatography. The results showed that sonication can simplify the extraction process and achieve higher extractive yield and concentration of caffeine and polyphenols compared to traditional methods. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed physical alterations and cell wall disintegration in the matrix, which accelerated the extraction process.

Summary: Optimization of tannin extraction from bayberry barks through ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was achieved by investigating the effects of solute to solvent ratio, solvent concentration, extraction time, and sonication temperature. The extracts were characterized using mass spectrometer, nuclear magnetic resonance, and gel permeation chromatography. The polyflavonoids of bayberry tannins were found to range from dimers to heptamers, composed of proanthocyanidins containing galloy groups.

Summary: The study demonstrates the overall applicability of the novel sonoreactor VialTweeter as a tool for extracting trace elements from soil samples in environmental monitoring. The proposed sonoreactor-assisted extraction methodology offers advantages of shorter pretreatment time and reduced sample and reagent usage compared to standard acid digestion. Validation results against the standard acid digestion vary for different analytes, with cadmium showing the best results without systematic error. Corrections are required for copper, lead, arsenic, and zinc determination when using the proposed US extraction plus ICP-MS.

Summary: In this study, efficient and eco-friendly techniques, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), were optimized to extract bioactives from Thuja orientalis. Both techniques showed effectiveness in fracturing the cell matrix and extracting phenolic compounds, antioxidants, and metal chelators. MAE was found to be more efficient in TPC, TFC, and ABTS-RSA, while UAE showed higher efficiency in DPPH-RSA and MCA.
