Optimization and kinetics of green pressurized-liquid extraction for andrographolide from Andrographis Paniculata

This research was focused on green solid-liquid extraction (SLE), one of the most crucial stages for the upstream phytochemical processing because the extracted product would affect the quality of finished product. The influence of process variables for green SLE of andrographolide from Andrographis...

Optimization and kinetics of green pressurized-liquid extraction for andrographolide from Andrographis Paniculata
description This research was focused on green solid-liquid extraction (SLE), one of the most crucial stages for the upstream phytochemical processing because the extracted product would affect the quality of finished product. The influence of process variables for green SLE of andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata (AP) was investigated through exploratory experimentation using a 2 complete factorial experimental design, and a rotatable central composite design (RCCD). The main and interaction effects of the solid-liquid ratio (1/50 - 5/50 mg/L), average particle size (0.175 - 1.200 mm), time (5 - 25 minutes), and temperature (80 - 120 °C) were examined. The process was studied under isothermal condition at 80°C, and other temperatures; 100 °C and 120 °C in a pressurized liquid extractor using water as the greenest solvent. The multiple objectives for the green SLE of andrographolide from AP were simultaneously optimized using the RCCD technique coupled with desirability and penalty functions based on the concepts of extraction yield, and new developed techniques for extraction selectivity of andrographolide. The extraction kinetics was found to follow the second-order rate law. As the particle size decreases and solid-liquid ratio increases, the observed specific extraction rate constant, kobs, and the initial rate of solid-liquid extraction of andrographolide, rB0 significantly increase. It was found at 80 °C that kobs increased to nearly twofold from 0.000653 to 0.00128 Lmg-1min-1 for the solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 g/mL when particle size was decreased from 1.200 to 0.175 mm.
