Abstract
The optimization of bioactive compound extraction from Fucus vesiculosus using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) via sonotrode was investigated to maximize phenolic recovery and antioxidant activity while promoting a sustainable process. Optimal conditions (40% v/v ethanol in water, 38 min, 36% amplitude) were selected to maximize phenolic recovery while considering environmental and energy sustainability by optimizing extraction efficiency and minimizing solvent and energy usage. HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS analysis tentatively identified 25 phenolic compounds, including sulfated phenolic acids, phlorotannins, flavonoids, and halophenols, with some reported for the first time in F. vesiculosus, underscoring the complexity of this alga's metabolome. The antioxidant activity of the optimized extract was evaluated through FRAP (143.7 µmol TE/g), DPPH (EC50 105.6 µg/mL), and TEAC (189.1 µmol Trolox/g) assays. The optimized process highlights F. vesiculosus as a valuable source of natural antioxidants, with potential applications in biotechnology, cosmetics, and food industries.
期刊介绍:
Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on the research, development and production of drugs from the sea. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information for bioactive compounds. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section.
