Towards sustainable extraction of bioactive compounds from guayusa (Ilex guayusa): A comparative study on compressed fluids’ performance
Ilex guayusa, a traditional Amazonian plant rich in caffeine and polyphenols, has attracted interest for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. This study evaluates the potential of green compressed fluid extraction techniques to recover bioactive compounds from I. guayusa leaves using environmentally friendly solvents: pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), gas-expanded liquids (GXL), and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). A mixture design approach combining CO2, ethanol, water, and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) in different proportions as solvents was applied to optimize extraction conditions. Among the tested methods, GXL extraction yielded the highest phenolic content and demonstrated superior antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH) and anti-inflammatory (inhibition of lipoxigenase, LOX) activities. Conventional water maceration showed stronger cholinesterase inhibition, suggesting complementary neuroprotective potential. Chemical profiling (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS) of the optimized extract confirmed the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids associated with the observed bioactivities. These findings highlight the effectiveness of compressed fluid-based green extraction for obtaining multifunctional phytochemicals from I. guayusa, with promising applications in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
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.
