Natural bioactive compounds extracted from agricultural by-products have received considerable attentions. Twenty-two kinds of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with ultrasonic were screened to extract flavonoids from peanut leave and stem. ChCl-acetic acid (ChCl-Aa) with 1:2 M ratio resulted in more effective extraction of flavonoids compared to other solvents The best extraction conditions were found to be at a 27% water content in DES/HO, for 43 min with 31:1 g/mL liquid/solid ratio, giving 2.

In the present study, DMY was used as a reducing agent and stabilizer to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and the optimal conditions for its synthesis were studied. The DMY-AgNPs were investigated for their DPPH scavenging properties and their potential against human pathogenic and food-borne bacteria viz.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMyricetin (MY) is a dietary flavonoid which exhibits a wide spectrum of biological properties, viz., antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, and so forth. The lower solubility in aqueous medium and hence lesser bioavailability of MY limits the use of such dietary flavonoids in further in vivo research.
