Catechin-based extract optimization obtained from Arbutus unedo L. fruits using maceration/microwave/ultrasound extraction techniques
Open accessAbstract
This study compares three extraction techniques (maceration, microwave and ultrasound) for catechin recover from Arbutus unedo fruit extracts. To obtain the conditions that maximize catechin extraction yield, a response surface methodology was applied using a 3-level full factorial Box–Behnken design in which the processing time (t), temperature (T), ultrasonic power (W) and ethanol percentage (Et%) were the relevant independent variables with the response (catechin content, mg/g dw) measured by HPLC-PDA. A fixed solid/solvent ratio of 50g/L was used in all techniques. Maceration and microwave extractions were found to be the most effective methods, capable of yielding 1.38±0.1 and 1.70±0.3mg/g dw of catechin, respectively at the optimal extraction conditions. The optimal conditions for maceration were 93.2±3.7min, 79.6±5.2°C and 23.1±3.7% of ethanol, while for the microwave extraction were 42.2±4.1min, 137.1±8.1°C and 12.1±1.1% of ethanol. Comparatively with maceration, the microwave system was a faster solution, conducting to slightly higher catechin yields, but using higher temperatures to reach similar values. The ultrasound method was the least effective solution, yielding 0.71±0.1mg/g dw of catechin at 42.4±3.6min, 314.9±21.2W and 40.3±3.8% ethanol. The results highlight the potential of using A. unedo fruits bio-residues as a productive source of catechin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
