Currently, I am working on the antioxidant property and phenolic content of various species of Curcuma using the MAE method taking methanol as a solvent. What factors should I focus on for accessing a fine result from the extraction method?
Kindly check the following RG link in which: It can be concluded that increasing solvent/sample ratio can increase the extraction yield however it has less effect on the phenolic compounds. Regarding total phenolic compounds, the time of extraction has a more distinct effect and it can be increased by increasing the extraction time.
