Antioxidant activity of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) leaves extracts by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction

In this study, the effects of pressure (100–300 bar), temperature (40–60ºC) and co-solvent flow rate (3–9 g/min) on antioxidant activities of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO²) extracts of spearmint leaves were determined using full factorial in the frame of complete randomize design (CRD). The a...

description In this study, the effects of pressure (100–300 bar), temperature (40–60ºC) and co-solvent flow rate (3–9 g/min) on antioxidant activities of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO²) extracts of spearmint leaves were determined using full factorial in the frame of complete randomize design (CRD). The antioxidant activity of SC-CO² extracts was determined by DPPH radical scavenging method. The results showed that extraction pressure, temperature and co-solvent flow rate had significant effect (P < 0.05) on antioxidant activity of extracts obtained. The highest antioxidant activity (71.00 ± 2.65%) was obtained at 200 bar pressure, 50ºC and 6 g/min co-solvent flow rate. However, all of the extracts obtained in this study had significantly higher antiradical activities varying from 35.62 ± 0.34% to 72 ± 3.17% compared to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as a reference. These results indicated that supercritical carbon dioxide is a promising alternative process for recovering compounds of high antioxidant activities from spearmint leaves.
