Abstract
Abstract Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG) is a traditional medicinal plant for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Nevertheless, the current conventional means of extracting the bioactive compounds of SBG are less efficient, and this study aimed to improve the extraction efficiency of flavonoids from SBG by pretreatment with cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) technique. The results showed that CAP pretreatment could facilitate an increase in the specific surface area, a reduction in particle size, thus increasing the area in contact to the extraction solvent. The reactive oxygen of CAP can also degrade cell wall components. Ultimately, the extraction efficiency of flavonoids was improved by 8.25%–59.77%. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that CAP is an effective method to enhance the extraction efficiency of SBG bioactive compounds, indicating the potential to improve the nutritional and functional properties of plants in the food industry.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Science & Technology (IJFST) is published for the Institute of Food Science and Technology, the IFST. This authoritative and well-established journal publishes in a wide range of subjects, ranging from pure research in the various sciences associated with food to practical experiments designed to improve technical processes. Subjects covered range from raw material composition to consumer acceptance, from physical properties to food engineering practices, and from quality assurance and safety to storage, distribution, marketing and use. While the main aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for papers describing the results of original research, review articles are also welcomed.
