Alternative Extraction and Downstream Purification Processes for Anthocyanins

Anthocyanins are natural pigments displaying different attractive colors ranging from red, violet, to blue. These pigments present health benefits that increased their use in food, nutraceuticals, and the cosmetic industry. However, anthocyanins are mainly extracted through conventional methods that are time-consuming and involve the use of organic solvents. Moreover, the chemical diversity of the obtained complex extracts make the downstream purification step challenging. Therefore, the growing demand of these high-value pigments has stimulated the interest in designing new, safe, cost-effective, and tunable strategies for their extraction and purification. The current review focuses on the potential application of compressed fluid-based (such as subcritical and supercritical fluid extraction and pressurized liquid extraction) and deep eutectic solvents-based extraction methods for the recovery of anthocyanins. In addition, an updated review of the application of counter-current chromatography for anthocyanins purification is provided as a faster and cost-effective alternative to preparative-scale HPLC.     

Conventional and ultrasound-assisted methods for extraction of bioactive compounds from red araçá peel (Psidium cattleianum Sabine)

The present study aimed to maximize the conventional extraction and compare it with the ultrasound-assisted method for extracting bioactive compounds obtained from the red araçá peel. The behavior of anthocyanins related to the pre-treatment of the vegetal matrix, employed solvent, extraction kinetics of both methods, the levels of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids, as well as the antioxidant activity were evaluated. The ultrasound-assisted extraction (40 KHz −154 W and 90 min) had an increase of 12% in the levels of anthocyanins (121.85 Eq. mg of cyanidin-3-glycoside/100 g of peel) and a 25% reduction in time extraction compared to conventional extraction by maceration (116.81 Eq. mg of cyanidin-3-glycoside/100 g of peel) using 90% ethanol, for 2 h, pH 1.5, at 40 °C and mass/volume ratio 1 g/10 mL). Analyses of the total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids presented promising results for the ultrasound-assisted and conventional extractions, respectively. Analyzes of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids, show promising results for ultrasound-assisted extractions, respectively, indicating that red araçá is rich in bioactive compounds beneficial to human health, in addition to being considered natural pigments that can be used in food.     

Development of a new analytical method for the determination of red beetroot betalains using dispersive solid‐phase extraction

The objective of this study was to develop a method for the determination of red beetroot betalains based on the dispersive solid‐phase extraction and modified QuEChERS methods followed by micro‐high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer that was equipped with a quadrupole and time‐of‐flight detector. Currently, new techniques for the extraction of the pigments are necessary and in this study, an extraction of beetroot betalains based on the QuEChERS method was developed for the first time. Twelve variants of the methods with different sorbent combinations were tested. The extraction with 15% methanol and with 0.05% formic acid was performed as a reference method to compare the obtained results. In all of the samples with the addition of sorbents, a lower noise was demonstrated in the obtained results. The betalain concentrations obtained using the tested methods were 0.32–0.54 mg g^?1, while the value of the reference method was 0.44 mg g^?1. The method that used the strong ion exchange sorbent (0.44±0.05 mg g^?1) was the most adequate in terms of analyzed content, related standard deviation value and interference compared to the reference method. It was concluded that the properly modified QuEChERS method can be successfully applied for the determination of red beetroot betalains.     

Plant Flavonoids: Chemical Characteristics and Biological Activity

In recent years, more attention has been paid to natural sources of antioxidants. Flavonoids are natural substances synthesized in several parts of plants that exhibit a high antioxidant capacity. They are a large family, presenting several classes based on their basic structure. Flavonoids have the ability to control the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via scavenger ROS when they are formed. Therefore, these antioxidant compounds have an important role in plant stress tolerance and a high relevance in human health, mainly due to their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. In addition, flavonoids have several applications in the food industry as preservatives, pigments, and antioxidants, as well as in other industries such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, flavonoids application for industrial purposes implies extraction processes with high purity and quality. Several methodologies have been developed aimed at increasing flavonoid extraction yield and being environmentally friendly. This review presents the most abundant natural flavonoids, their structure and chemical characteristics, extraction methods, and biological activity.     

Solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of pigments of red wines

The adsorption and desorption capacities of 11 different solid-phase extraction sorbents were tested for the preconcenration of pigments of various Hungarian red wines. The concentrates were evaluated by multiwavelengh spectrophotometry combined with a spectral mapping technique (SPM) and by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The highest (10-fold) concentration of pigments was achieved on octadecylsilica sorbent. It can be used five times without losing adsorption and desorption characteristics. SPM indicated that multiwavelength spectrophotometry can be employed for the differentiation of red wines. Comparison of the chromatograms of pigments with and without preconcentration showed that preconcentration makes possible the separation and detection of pigments present in low concentration in red wines.     

Rapid and quantitative extraction method for the determination of chlorophylls and carotenoids in olive oil by high-performance liquid chromatography

Colour is an organoleptic characteristic of virgin olive oil and an important attribute that affects the consumer perception of quality. Chlorophylls and carotenoids are the main pigments responsible for the colour of virgin olive oil. A simple analytical method for the quantitative determination of chlorophylls and carotenoids in virgin olive oils has been developed. The pigments were isolated from small samples of oil (1.0 g) by solid-phase extraction using diol-phase cartridges (diol-SPE), and the extract was analysed by reverse-phase HPLC with diode-array UV detection. Chromatographic peak resolution, reproducibility (coefficient of variation (C.V.) <4.5%) and recovery (>98.4%) for each component were satisfactory. A comparative study of the proposed method was performed versus classical liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with N,N′-dimethylformamide and solid-phase extraction using a C18 column (C18-SPE). While 96.4% of the pigments were recovered by LLE, only 51.3% were isolated by C18-SPE in comparison to diol-SPE. Likewise, a higher alteration of pigment composition was observed when such LLE and C18-SPE procedures were used. In this sense, a higher ratio of pheophytin in comparison to that isolated by the diol-SPE procedure was achieved with both extraction procedures, indicating a greater extent of the pheophytinization reaction. Therefore, quantification of pigments from virgin olive oil by diol-SPE followed by RP-HPLC was found to be rapid, simple, required only a small amount of sample, consumed only small amounts of organic solvents, and provided high recoveries, accuracy and precision.     

Effect of Botanical Extracts on the Growth and Nutritional Quality of Field-Grown White Head Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata)

Nutraceuticals and functional foods are gaining more attention amongst consumers interested in nutritious food. The consumption of foodstuffs with a high content of phytochemicals has been proven to provide various health benefits. The application of biostimulants is a potential strategy to fortify cultivated plants with beneficial bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, it has not yet been established whether the proposed higher plants (St. John’s wort, giant goldenrod, common dandelion, red clover, nettle, and valerian) are appropriate for the production of potential bio-products enhancing the nutritional value of white cabbage. Therefore, this research examines the impact of botanical extracts on the growth and nutritional quality of cabbage grown under field conditions. Two extraction methods were used for the production of water-based bio-products, namely: ultrasound-assisted extraction and mechanical homogenisation. Bio-products were applied as foliar sprays to evaluate their impact on total yield, dry weight, photosynthetic pigments, polyphenols, antioxidant activity, vitamin C, nitrates, micro- and macroelements, volatile compounds, fatty acids, sterols, and sugars. Botanical extracts showed different effects on the examined parameters. The best results in terms of physiological and biochemical properties of cabbage were obtained for extracts from common dandelion, valerian, nettle, and giant goldenrod. When enriched with nutrients, vegetables can constitute a valuable component of functional food.     

Optimization of a Sustainable Protocol for the Extraction of Anthocyanins as Textile Dyes from Plant Materials

Anthocyanins are the largest group of polyphenolic pigments in the plant kingdom. These non-toxic, water-soluble compounds are responsible for the pink, red, purple, violet, and blue colors of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Anthocyanins are widely used in the production of food, cosmetic and textile products, in the latter case to replace synthetic dyes with natural and sustainable alternatives. Here, we describe an environmentally benign method for the extraction of anthocyanins from red chicory and their characterization by HPLC-DAD and UPLC-MS. The protocol does not require hazardous solvents or chemicals and relies on a simple and scalable procedure that can be applied to red chicory waste streams for anthocyanin extraction. The extracted anthocyanins were characterized for stability over time and for their textile dyeing properties, achieving good values for washing fastness and, as expected, a pink-to-green color change that is reversible and can therefore be exploited in the fashion industry.     

Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction for alizarin and purpurin in Rubiaceae plants and its comparison with conventional extraction methods

A simple and rapid microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure was developed and optimized for two common color pigments, alizarin and purpurin, in various samples of Rubiaceae plants. Several variables that can potentially affect the extraction efficiency, namely temperature, methanol concentration in the extractant mixture, time, and solvent volume were optimized by means of a central composite design approach. The results suggest that temperature and methanol concentration in the solvent mixture are statistically the most significant factors. The separation and quantitative determination of the pigments was carried out in less than 6 min by a developed high-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV detection at 250 nm. Under optimum operating conditions, MAE showed significantly higher recoveries than those obtained by the conventional extraction methods (ultrasonic and reflux extraction), ranging from 84 to 94%. In addition, a drastic reduction of the extraction time (20 min versus 6 h) and solvent consumption (20 versus 100 mL) was achieved with a reproducibility (RSDs < 10%) comparable with that provided by the reflux extraction as a reference method.
