Abstract
The effects of the extraction conditions on the recovery and isomerization of the UV-absorbing saclipins from the edible cyanobacterium Aphanothece sacrum by subcritical water were investigated. The extraction temperature (100–160 ℃) did not affect the extraction efficiency of saclipins, but the pressure (5–15 MPa) had a significant effect. The saclipin B (cis-configuration) ratio in the extract increased with extraction temperature. Since saclipin A (trans-configuration) is predominant in the raw material, it is proposed that thermal-induced cis-isomerization occurs during the extraction process under elevated temperature conditions. Furthermore, we found that extraction with subcritical water resulted in higher extraction and isomerization efficiencies of saclipins than extraction with organic solvents. Extracts obtained by subcritical water extraction (SWE) exhibited antioxidant and anti-elastase activities and the degree of the activities was affected by the extraction temperature (i.e., saclipin isomer ratio). These findings could facilitate the development of sunscreens with enhanced skincare benefits, utilizing naturally-derived bioactive compounds.
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.
