AI Article Synopsis

  • A green method was developed using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and molecular distillation (MD) to separate and purify components from turmeric for quality control.
  • The process produced a high-quality essential oil containing 76.0% of turmeric's typical components, with a total recovery of 97.3% and purity of 90.3%.
  • A new strategy utilizing STVCF for evaluating major bioactive analytes was proposed, which provided a more reliable way to control turmeric's quality compared to traditional calibration methods.

Article Abstract

A green and reliable method using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and molecular distillation (MD) was optimized for the separation and purification of standardized typical volatile components fraction (STVCF) from turmeric to solve the shortage of reference compounds in quality control (QC) of volatile components. A high quality essential oil with 76.0% typical components of turmeric was extracted by SFE. A sequential distillation strategy was performed by MD. The total recovery and purity of prepared STVCF were 97.3% and 90.3%, respectively. Additionally, a strategy, i.e., STVCF-based qualification and quantitative evaluation of major bioactive analytes by multiple calibrated components, was proposed to easily and effectively control the quality of turmeric. Compared with the individual calibration curve method, the STVCF-based quantification method was demonstrated to be credible and was effectively adapted for solving the shortage of reference volatile compounds and improving the QC of typical volatile components in turmeric, especially its functional products.
