One-step sustainable extraction of Silymarin compounds of wild Algerian milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seeds using Gas Expanded Liquids.

This work reports the application of Gas Expanded Liquid (GXL) extraction to concentrate the flavonolignan fraction (silymarin) and taxifolin from Silybum marianum seeds, which have proven to be highly valuable health-promoting compounds. GXL using green solvents was used to isolate silymarin with the objective of replacing conventional methods. In one hand, the effect of different compositions of solvents, aqueous ethanol (20%, 50% or 80% (v/v)) at different CO/liquid (25, 50 and 75%) ratios, on the GXL extraction was investigated.

Optimization of Pressurized Liquid Extraction and In Vitro Neuroprotective Evaluation of Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis by UHPLC-MS/MS.

is a spontaneous plant endemic of the North African region. An efficient selective pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) method was optimized to concentrate neuroprotective extracts from fruits. Green solvents were tested, namely ethanol and water, within a range of temperatures between 40 to 180 °C.

Plant oils: From chemical composition to encapsulated form use.

The last decade has witnessed a burgeoning global movement towards essential and vegetable oils in the food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries thanks to their natural and safe status, broad acceptance by consumers, and versatile functional properties. However, efforts to develop new therapy or functional agents based on plant oils have met with challenges of limited stability and/or reduced efficacy. As a result, there has been increased research interest in the encapsulation of plant oils, whereby the nanocarriers serve as barrier between plant oils and the environment and control oil release leading to improved efficacy, reduced toxicity and enhanced patient compliance and convenience.

Nanocapsules containing Saussurea lappa essential oil: Formulation, characterization, antidiabetic, anti-cholinesterase and anti-inflammatory potentials.

Plant-based remedies have been widely used for the management of variable diseases due to their safety and less side effects. In the present study, we investigated Saussurea lappa CB. Clarke.

Encapsulation of Essential Oils via Nanoprecipitation Process: Overview, Progress, Challenges and Prospects.

Essential oils are of paramount importance in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural, and food areas thanks to their crucial properties. However, stability and bioactivity determine the effectiveness of essential oils. Polymeric nanoencapsulation is a well-established approach for the preservation of essential oils.

Poly(ethyl acrylate--methyl Methacrylate--trimethylammoniethyl methacrylate chloride) (Eudragit RS100) Nanocapsules as Nanovector Carriers for L. Seeds Oil: a Versatile Antidiabetic Agent.

Food waste valorization practices have gained considerable attention focusing on the conversion of the waste into valuable products. In this context, the present study provides an insight into a new Eudragit RS100 based nanosystem as a carrier of date palm ( L.) seeds oil known for its an antidiabetic activity.
