@misc{10498/31691, year = {2023}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10498/31691}, abstract = {Psidium laruotteanum is a subshrub Myrtaceae, native to the Brazilian savanna, and distributed in Central and South America. Here, the health beneficial compound piceid (reservatrol-3-β-mono-d-glucoside) is described for the first time in the genus Psidium. The ultrasound-assisted extraction from P. laruotteanum roots was optimized by a response surface methodology. A central composite design was used to assess six extraction variables. Optimal extractions were obtained with 62.5% MeOH in water at 69.1 °C, amplitude of 70%, cycle of 0.5 s−1, pH 5.7 and solvent–solid ratio of 40:1, for 10 min. The method showed excellent recovery (90%–95%) and precision (CV: 0.69% for repeatability and 0.43% for intermediate precision). This species appears as the most concentrated plant source of piceid reported to date (29.15 mg·g−1 in dry roots). Additionally, a very fast extraction (5 min) can afford 96% recovery of piceid from Psidium laruotteanum roots. It could be used as a natural and cheap source of piceid for several applications.}, publisher = {Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)}, keywords = {araçá-cascudo}, keywords = {experimental design}, keywords = {Psidium laruotteanum}, keywords = {trans-piceid}, keywords = {ultrasound-assisted extraction}, title = {Optimized Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Psidium laruotteanum Roots: A Concentrated Source of Piceid from the Brazilian Savanna}, doi = {10.3390/F14081608}, author = {Takao, L.K. and Setyaningsih, Widiastuti and Gualtieri, S.C.J. and Ruiz Rodríguez, Ana and Varela Montoya, Rosa María and Palma Lovillo, Miguel}, }
