| description | Introduction: The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a technology of interest to the food, cosmetics and
pharmaceuticals industries, as an alternative to conventional methods, i.e. solvent extraction and solid-phase
microextraction (SPME). SFE employs the use of supercritical fluid as the extracting solvent replacing the use of
conventional organic solvents.
Materials and Methods: The essential oils of Zingiber puberulum, Zingiber spectabile and Kaempferia galanga were
extracted using SFE at 48 Mpa and 40°C of extracting pressure and temperature respectively. The oils were then
analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrument.
Results: Twenty-one compounds were found in the SFE extract of Z. puberulum with fatty acids; i.e. palmitic acid
(65.7%) and oleic acid (15.9%) were the major constituents and small percentages of various terpenic
compounds. The sesquiterpene compounds identified in the SFE extract of Z. puberulum were α-bisabolol,
β-elemene and caryophyllene while in Kaempferia galanga, the major compound extracted was ethyl
p-methoxycinnamate.
Conclusion: It was found that the bioactive molecules in Zingiber family could be successfully extracted using SFE
by optimizing the extracting conditions in order to ensure the optimum yield of the bioactive compounds. |
