Solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) of phenolic compounds in Clinacanthus nutans lindau (C. nutans) via vacuum technique / Siti Nur Shazana Othman

Medicinal herb from Acanthacea family known as Clinacanthus nutans Lindau or C. nutans is a popular shrub in the Asia regions due to its high content of polyphenols. Numerous studies of conventional extractions have been used to extract biological activities compounds in C. nutans, however, the meth...

Numerous studies of conventional extractions have been used to extract biological activities compounds in C. nutans, however, the methods are usually associated with several contras such as use of high volume of organic solvent, low yield of extraction and time-consuming.

V-SFME showed higher extraction yield of 27.0 mg GAE/g DW in faster extraction rate of 0.15 mg/g/min compared to SFME with extraction yield of 13.0 mg GAE/g DW in 0.08 mg/g/min of extraction rate.
