The selenium extraction is one of the most important procedures for preparing its supplements. This work provided a systematic investigation on the selenium extraction process from <em>Cardamine violifolia.</em> Firstly, the selenium extraction process was optimized by using the single factor analysis and response surface optimization. Its optimal conditions were particle size 60 mesh, stirrer rotation speed 125 r min<sup>−1</sup>, initial extraction pH 9, extraction temperature 70 ℃, ratio of water to material 100 ml g<sup>−1</sup> and extraction time 27 min.

Then its kinetics were investigated, and its kinetic data was in good agreement with the pseudo-first order kinetic model. Its mass transfer coefficient <em><strong>k</strong></em> ranged from 0.0765 to 0.1411 min<sup>−1</sup> when its temperature changed from 40 to 70 ℃.

This research formulated a novel multi-task optimization approach combining the Mantis Search Algorithm (MSA) with hybrid machine learning models to extract bioactive compounds from orange peel waste using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). The holistic strategy employed a multi-task optimization approach that concurrently optimized four key components: feature selection, model hyperparameters, ensemble weights, and process parameters. The process parameters investigated included microwave power (302–495 W), extraction temperature (31–59 °C), extraction time (5.2–30 min), and mass-to-solvent ratio (41–80 mg/mL). Three machine learning models were developed and systematically compared: CatBoost, Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), and their weighted ensemble fusion. The ensemble MSA-hybrid model exhibited the best predictive performance with R² of 0.656, 0.981, and 0.990 for total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity, respectively. Temperature was found to be the most significant process parameter for all response variables, followed by extraction time and mass-to-solvent ratio.

This study measured 12 phenotypic traits of seeds and pods in 180 individual trees from 17 natural <em>G. sinensis</em> populations in Guizhou Province and detected rich phenotypic diversity. The results suggest that the phenotypic variation of <em>G. sinensis</em> seeds and pods in Guizhou is extremely rich, with intrapopulation variation being the primary source of variation. The average phenotypic differentiation coefficient is 23.87 %, and the average coefficient of variation is 11.59 %. The variation in phenotypic traits of <em>G. sinensis</em> seeds and pods is geographically discontinuous. Generally, pods show north-south variation along the same longitude, while seeds exhibit east-west variation along the same latitude. Inter-population variability in pods (14.67 %) is higher than in seeds (8.96 %), suggesting greater variability in pod traits and higher stability in seed traits. This multi-level variation provides a scientific basis for the innovative utilization of high-quality genetic resources of <em>G. sinensis</em>. Principal component analysis shows that the first three principal components (size of pods, size and weight of seeds, weight of pods) account for 81.9 % of the cumulative contribution, essentially reflecting most of the information on phenotypic traits of <em>G. sinensis</em>.

Subsequently, the composition of the two representative flavonoids, mangiferin and genkwanin, were quantitatively determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Finally, the antioxidant activity of the TF was evaluated using an H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced oxidative stress model in intestinal porcine epithelial cells-jejunum (IPEC-J2) cells. The results demonstrated that under the optimized UAE conditions (70 % of ethanol concentration, liquid-to-material ratio at 40:1, 45 min of ultrasonic time, and 400 w of ultrasonic extraction power), the extraction rate of the TF reached 5.73 %, which was significantly higher than that achieved by conventional extraction. The HPLC analysis of mangiferin and genkwanin revealed well linearity and stability, with their content level to be 16.9 and 0.204 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, the TF extract significantly alleviated H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced cell death in IPEC-J2 cells by inhibiting the NF-kB/NLRP3/IL-18 signaling pathway. This study provides valuable information for the development and utilization of TF from <em>A. sinensis</em> leaves as a functional ingredient in feed and nutritional health products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"49 ","pages":"Article 100664"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
