The efficient extraction of natural products from biomass is deemed an essential area of interest using green technology in the pharmaceutical and biochemical industries. In recent years, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been paying broad interest as compatible, safe, and inexpensive solvents. In this study, we addressed, for the first time, to give a fruitful illustration to extract bioactive compounds from favourite Lycium barbarum L. fruits using DESs as green designer solvents, and displaying the tuneability of DESs to extract bioactive compounds from biomass efficiently. Among the studied DESs, the 1 : 2 M mixture of choline chloride and p-toluene sulfonic acid (DESs-6) with an ultra-sound assisted extraction (UAE) method was more efficient to get high extraction yields of flavonoids including myricetin (57.2 mg/g), morin (12.7 mg/g), and rutin (9.1 mg/g) in net DESs. The resulting extraction method in which 50 mg of sample powder was extracted by UAE for 1.5 h using DESs-6 was found to be a more efficient process than conventional extraction methods such as heating plus stirring. Operational conditions including the extractant to sample solid ratio, the effect of water content, the effect of temperature, recycling of DESs, and the effect of ultra-sound irradiation time were investigated. The proposed DESs based extraction procedure attained recovery for flavonoids were in the range 75.6%-96.9%. Therefore, p-toluenesulfonic acid-based DESs may have strong potential as promising materials for the green and efficient extraction of pharmaceutical compounds from other plants or fruits.
从生物质中高效提取天然产物被认为是制药和生化行业绿色技术的一个重要研究领域。近年来,深共晶溶剂(DESs)作为相容、安全且廉价的溶剂受到了广泛关注。在这项研究中,我们首次提出使用 DESs 作为绿色设计溶剂从喜爱的枸杞果实中提取生物活性化合物,展示了 DESs 从生物质中高效提取生物活性化合物的可调谐性。在所研究的 DESs 中,1:2M 氯化胆碱和对甲苯磺酸(DESs-6)的混合物,采用超声辅助提取(UAE)方法,对于从生物质中高效提取黄酮类化合物(包括杨梅素(57.2mg/g)、桑色素(12.7mg/g)和芦丁(9.1mg/g))是更有效的。结果表明,使用 DESs-6 通过 UAE 对 50mg 样品粉末进行 1.5h 的提取是一种比传统提取方法(如加热搅拌)更有效的方法。考察了提取剂与样品固比、含水量、温度、DESs 循环和超声辐射时间等操作条件的影响。所提出的基于 DESs 的提取程序对黄酮类化合物的回收率在 75.6%-96.9%范围内。因此,基于对甲苯磺酸的 DESs 可能具有作为从其他植物或果实中提取药物化合物的有前途的绿色和高效材料的强大潜力。
