Abstract

HERNANDEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Guillermina et al. Influence of Polar Solutions on the Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Capulín Fruits (Prunus serotina). J. Mex. Chem. Soc [online]. 2016, vol.60, n.2, pp.73-78. ISSN 1870-249X.

The phenolic compounds extraction of Prunus serotina Erhr with different ratios of acetone:water, methanol:water and ethanol:water was optimized using the Taguchi method. The factors evaluated were the solvent mixture and stirring time. The total phenolic content in extracts was assessed by the Folin-Ciocalteu method using gallic acid (GA) as the standard. The maximum value was 20.3 ± 0.86 mg GAE $g_{db}^{-1}$ using acetone:water (7:3, v/v) and 30 min of stirring time.

Keywords : Taguchi method; Folin-Ciocalteu; antioxidants; American black cherry; Rosaceae.
