Response Surface Methodology optimized antioxidant activity and saponin content in launaea sarmentosa leaves, indicating its potential health benefits.
Key Points
Microwave-assisted extraction optimized conditions led to 9.56 mg DE/g dry weight total saponin content.
Experimental values showed antioxidant activity reached 87.62% using the DPPH method.
Response Surface Methodology was used for systematic optimization of extraction variables.
The findings support launaea sarmentosa's use as a natural source of antioxidants for functional products.
