Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is a novel and green technique that uses ultrasound waves to enhance the extraction of bioactive compounds from plant materials
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D
Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) can increase the yield, quality, and efficiency of the extraction of phenolic compounds and monomeric anthocyanin from black and purple rice bran, which are rich sources of antioxidants and functional ingredients.
Phenolics stand out as crucial phytochemicals present in grains and berries, playing a significant role in determining cereal and fruit qualities like color and taste. Among the noteworthy phenolics, anthocyanins, which are glycosides of anthocyanidins, take prominence, especially in red and dark-colored grains and berries.
