Optimization of Accelerated Solvent Extraction of Carthamus Caeruleus L. Evaluation of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of extracts

Optimization of natural compounds extraction from Algerian Carthamus Caeruleus L was studied using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). The optimization study was performed using three solvents (ethanol, methanol and hexane) and with a temperature range (40–50 °C), a static extraction time (30–50 min) and a cycle number (1–5) as independent variables. The optimum ASE conditions for a maximum extraction yield for each solvent were estimated, the...
