Abstract

Our study aimed to optimize carob antioxidant extraction for use in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Maceration investigated ethanol concentration, extraction temperature, and time, while ultrasound-assisted extraction examined ethanol concentration, ultrasound power, and time. A central composite design with 19 experimental points assessed the influence of variables on total yield, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity. The results were analyzed to optimize the extraction parameters and enhance the antioxidant extraction from carob. The results of the study show that the best maceration condition for extracting antioxidants from the plant material was found to have a time of 24.38 minutes, an ethanol content of 59.02%, and a temperature of 54.52°C. Similarly, the optimal conditions for ultrasound-assisted extraction were found to be 51.49 minutes, 79.78% sonication power, and 76.12% alcohol. The optimal conditions identified can be used as a starting point for further optimization and scaling up of the extraction process.

提高角豆树（Ceratonia siliqua L.）的抗氧化剂产量：评估浸渍法和超声波辅助法的功效。

我们的研究旨在优化角豆树抗氧化剂的提取，以用于食品、化妆品和制药行业。浸渍法研究了乙醇浓度、萃取温度和时间，而超声辅助萃取法研究了乙醇浓度、超声功率和时间。19个实验点的中心复合设计评估了变量对总产量、总酚含量和抗氧化活性的影响。分析结果旨在优化萃取参数，提高角豆树的抗氧化萃取效果。研究结果表明，从植物材料中提取抗氧化剂的最佳浸渍条件是浸渍时间为 24.38 分钟，乙醇含量为 59.02%，温度为 54.52°C。同样，超声辅助萃取的最佳条件为 51.49 分钟、超声功率 79.78%、酒精含量 76.12%。确定的最佳条件可作为进一步优化和扩大萃取过程的起点。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
