Hi, my name is Anna.
I am working on the extraction of polyphenols and carotenoids from date seeds using NADES.
I am centrifuging the samples at 14400 rpm-20min-10ºC but when I remove the supernatant, the liquid looks cloudy.
What could I do to remove those particles that can interfere in the assays? Perform a filtration on paper?
Thanks for your help and best regards,
Anna
Various methods, including ultrasound, supercritical fluid (SFE), microwave, and subcritical CO2-assisted techniques, have been investigated for extracting bioactive compounds from diverse plant matrices. These approaches provide alternative solutions to tackle challenges posed by interfering particles during the extraction process.
Moreover, it is crucial to take into account the influence of changes in ion concentration on the extraction process. For instance, modifying the pH of the medium using diluted HCl or NaOH can alter the ion concentration, potentially leading to adverse effects on the extraction of bioactive compounds.
