Overview

Response surface methodology enhances phenolic and flavonoid extraction in Terminalia arjuna bark, indicating significant antioxidant activity.

Key Points

  • Antioxidant activity was significant, showing an IC₅₀ of 186.4 μg/mL in the DPPH assay and 24.4 μM Fe (II) equivalents in the FRAP assay.
  • Response surface methodology was used to optimize extraction conditions including sonication power, temperature, and solvent-to-solid ratio.
  • Optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction yielded a highly enriched extract with 442.2 mg GAE/g of phenolic compounds and 294.6 mg QE/g of flavonoid compounds.
  • Highlighting potential health benefits, the nutritional composition included essential minerals like calcium and iron.
