This study aimed to extract bioactive compounds from the Ranco genotype of garlic using subcritical water extraction (SWE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). Results showed that PLE provided significant advantages in terms of yield and antioxidant activity of garlic extracts, indicating that high-pressure processes can be used as clean and green procedures for the extraction of garlic bioactives.
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is widely used in various food products and traditional medicine. Besides unique taste and flavour, it is well known for its chemical profile and bioactive potential. The aim of this study was to apply subcritical water extraction (SWE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) for the extraction of bioactive compounds from the Ranco genotype of garlic. Moreover, PLE process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) in order to determine effects and optimize ethanol concentration (45-75%), number of cycles (1-3), extraction time (1-3 min) and temperature (70-110 degrees C) for maximized total phenols content (TP) and antioxidant activity evaluated by various in vitro assays. Furthermore, temperature effect in SWE process on all responses was evaluated, while allicin content (AC), as a major organosulphur compound, was determined in all samples. Results indicated that PLE provided tremendous advantage over SWE in terms of improved yield and antioxidant activity of garlic extracts. Therefore, high-pressure processes could be used as clean and green procedures for the isolation of garlic bioactives.
