Comparison of Anthocyanin Extraction Efficiency Using UAE with Methanol and Ethanol

Anthocyanins are water-soluble phenolic compounds that function as natural plant pigments and exhibit significant antioxidant properties. Efficient extraction of these compounds from botanical sources, particularly poppy petals, is important for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Recent research has highlighted ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and solvent selection as key parameters for optimizing anthocyanin recovery. This study comparatively evaluates anthocyanin extraction efficiency using ultrasonic treatment with two solvent systems: ۱۰۰% methanol and ۷۰% ethanol. The extracted anthocyanin content was quantified by spectrophotometry based on cyanidin-۳-O-glucoside chloride. The findings provide valuable insights into selecting optimal extraction techniques for recovering bioactive compounds from plant materials across solvent systems and processing conditions for targeted applications in food and related sectors and improving extraction performance.
