To achieve this proposal, ethanol extraction of soluble free compounds with antioxidant activity was separated from native biomass, and high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS) was further performed. Then, the pretreated biomass was submitted to microwave (MW) pressurized heating with a gluconic acid-catalyzed process. The yield of ethanol-isolated chitin-glucan extract was 4.09 ± 0.26 % (dry basis). The chitin-glucan chemical composition consisted of glucose (86.61 ± 0.69 % w/w) and amino-sugar (0.76 ± 0.03 % w/w). Spectroscopic and chromatographic methods confirmed the characterization of the chitin-glucan extract.

The study acquired data on the impact of various extraction parameters, such as ethanol concentration (X<sub>1</sub>), microwave power (X<sub>2</sub>), and extraction time (X<sub>3</sub>), on the levels of total phenolics content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), and antioxidant activity using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity. The extraction process was optimized using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions were achieved with an X<sub>1</sub> of 75%, an X<sub>2</sub> of 315 W, and an X<sub>3</sub> of 8.5 min. The aforementioned experimental settings yielded results of 86.176 mg GAE/g, 31.585 mg QE/g, and 75.850% for the TPC, TFC, and antioxidant activity, respectively. The extract included several significant active chemicals, including octadecanoic acid, undecane, 2-methyl-, 9-octadecenoic acid (Z)-hexyl ester, pentadecanoic acid, 9-hexadecanoic acid, phenolic and flavonoid compounds.
