Abstract
This research investigates the extraction of compounds from Nepeta crispa (N. crispa), utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide green solvent, for the first time. Using RSM, the study examines the impact of pressure (15–25 MPa), temperature (313–333 K), and co-solvent (0.5–3.5%) on the extraction yield. The antioxidant activity of the essential oil is assessed through Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay, while its antibacterial properties are evaluated against four bacterial strains. The SCFE method achieved a maximum yield of 1.812 % at optimum conditions (P= 25 MPa, T= 313 K and co-solvent= 3.5%). GC-Mass analysis revealed that the primary constituents of N. crispa essential oil which are 1,8-cineol and 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone in both extraction methods. The antioxidant and antibacterial results of N. crispa showed the superiority of SC-CO2 over hydrodistillation method. These observed antioxidant and antibacterial attributes highlight the plant’s potential suitability for applications within the food and pharmaceutical industries.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
