Savić IM, Savić Gajić IM, Gajić DG. Optimization of the Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Caffeine from Roasted Coffee Beans. Foods 2024; 13:2333. [PMID: 39123525 PMCID: PMC11312167 DOI: 10.3390/foods13152333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a fast procedure for caffeine extraction from roasted coffee beans. The microwave-assisted extraction was carried out in the microwave oven with an operating frequency of 2450 MHz. The response surface methodology based on a Box-Behnken design was used to model and optimize the extraction process. Among the analyzed extraction parameters (factors), the influence of extraction time (2-6 min), liquid-to-solid ratio (5-15 mL/g), and microwave power (336-595 W) were considered, while the yield of extracted caffeine was observed as the response of the system. Water was used as the solvent of choice for the extraction of caffeine. The optimum conditions were as follows: extraction time, 2 min; liquid-to-solid ratio, 15 mL/g; and microwave power, 500 W. In this optimized condition, the expected extraction yield of caffeine was 1.01 g/100 g dry weight (value confirmed by experimental assays). The total energy consumed of 1.7 kWh/100 g of purified caffeine indicated a more energy-efficient procedure by about 1200-15,000 times than the reported procedures. This study showed that caffeine can be quantitatively extracted from roasted coffee beans through a green approach and that the isolated caffeine has a high purity degree, which was confirmed by the UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method. With this quality, isolated caffeine could be further used as an active ingredient in the food industry, while for pharmaceutical purposes, it must be further purified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolomics data is often complex due to the high number of metabolites, chemical diversity, and dependence on sample preparation. This makes it challenging to detect significant differences between factor levels and to obtain accurate and reliable data. To address these challenges, the use of Design of Experiments (DoE) techniques in the setup of metabolomic experiments is crucial. DoE techniques can be used to optimize the experimental design space, ensuring that the maximum amount of information is obtained from a limited sample space. AIM OF REVIEW This review aims at providing a baseline workflow for applying DoE when generating metabolomics data. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW The review provides insights into the theory of DoE. The review showcases the theory being put into practice by highlighting different examples DoE being applied in metabolomics throughout the literature, considering both targeted and untargeted metabolomic studies in which the data was acquired using both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques. In addition, the review presents DoE concepts not currently being applied in metabolomics, highlighting these as potential future prospects.

Process Optimization of Tinospora cordifolia Extract-Loaded Water in Oil Nanoemulsion Developed by Ultrasound-Assisted Homogenization. Molecules 2024; 29:1797. [PMID: 38675617 PMCID: PMC11052499 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29081797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nanoemulsions are gaining interest in a variety of products as a means of integrating easily degradable bioactive compounds, preserving them from oxidation, and increasing their bioavailability. However, preparing stable emulsion compositions with the desired characteristics is a difficult task. The aim of this study was to encapsulate the Tinospora cordifolia aqueous extract (TCAE) into a water in oil (W/O) nanoemulsion and identify its critical process and formulation variables, like oil (27-29.4 mL), the surfactant concentration (0.6-3 mL), and sonication amplitude (40% to 100%), using response surface methodology (RSM). The responses of this formulation were studied with an analysis of the particle size (PS), free fatty acids (FFAs), and encapsulation efficiency (EE). In between, we have studied a fishbone diagram that was used to measure risk and preliminary research. The optimized condition for the formation of a stable nanoemulsion using quality by design was surfactant (2.43 mL), oil concentration (27.61 mL), and sonication amplitude (88.6%), providing a PS of 171.62 nm, FFA content of 0.86 meq/kg oil and viscosity of 0.597 Pa.s for the blank sample compared to the enriched TCAE nanoemulsion with a PS of 243.60 nm, FFA content of 0.27 meq/kg oil and viscosity of 0.22 Pa.s. The EE increases with increasing concentrations of TCAE, from 56.88% to 85.45%. The RSM response demonstrated that both composition variables had a considerable impact on the properties of the W/O nanoemulsion. Furthermore, after the storage time, the enriched TCAE nanoemulsion showed better stability over the blank nanoemulsion, specially the FFAs, and the blank increased from 0.142 to 1.22 meq/kg oil, while TCAE showed 0.266 to 0.82 meq/kg.

Abstract
Material Extrusion (MEX) technology, a prominent process in the field of additive manufacturing (AM), has witnessed significant growth in recent years. The continuous quest for enhanced material properties and refined surface quality has led to the exploration of post-processing techniques. In this study, we delve into the ironing process as a vital processing step, focusing on the optimization of its parameters through the application of Design of Experiments (DoE), specifically the Box-Behnken Design (BBD). Through a systematic examination of ironing process parameters, we identified optimal conditions that resulted in a substantial reduction in surface roughness (Ra) by approximately 69%. Moreover, the integration of optimized ironing process parameters led to remarkable improvements in mechanical properties. For instance, the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) saw a substantial improvement of approximately 29%, while the compressive strength (CS) showed an increase of about 25%. The flexural strength (FS) witnessed a notable enhancement of around 35%, and the impact strength (IS) experienced a significant boost of about 162%. The introduction of ironing minimizes voids, enhances layer bonding, and reduces surface irregularities, resulting in components that not only exhibit exceptional mechanical performance but also possess refined aesthetics. This research sheds light on the transformative potential of precision experimentation, post-processing techniques, and statistical methodologies in advancing Material Extrusion technology. The findings offer practical implications for industries requiring high-performance components with structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Abstract
High-performance thin-layer chromatography has favorable properties for high-throughput separations with a high matrix tolerance. Sample preparation, however, is sometimes required to control specific matrix interferences and to enhance the detectability of target compounds. Trends in contemporary applications have shifted from absorbance and fluorescence detection to methods employing bioassays and mass spectrometry. Traditional methods (shake-flask, heat at reflux, Soxhlet, and hydrodistillation) are being challenged by automated instrumental approaches (ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted solvent extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction) and the quick, easy cheap, efficient, rugged, and safe extraction method for faster and streamlined sample processing. Liquid-liquid extraction remains the most widely used approach for sample clean-up with increasing competition from solid-phase extraction. On-layer sample, clean-up by planar solid-phase extraction is increasingly used for complex samples and in combination with heart-cut multimodal systems. The automated spray-on sample applicator, the elution head interface, biological detection of target and non-target compounds, and straightforward mass spectrometric detection are highlighted as the main factors directing current interest toward faster and simpler sample workflows, analysis of more complex samples, and the determination of minor contaminants requiring high concentration factors.

Statistical optimization and characterization of fucose-rich polysaccharides extracted from pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) along with antioxidant and antiviral activities. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 232:123372.

Abstract
Biologically active phytochemicals from pumpkin reveal versatile medical applications, though little is known about their antiviral activity. The fucose-rich polysaccharide extraction conditions were optimized through Box-Behnken design and purified by column chromatography. The purified fucose-rich polysaccharide was characterized through SEM, FT-IR, 1H NMR, XRD, TGA, and GS-MS. The analysis results revealed an irregular and porous surface of the purified polysaccharide with high fucose, rhamnose, galactose, and glucose contents. The tested fucose-rich polysaccharides revealed significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity at very low concentrations. The purified fucose-rich polysaccharides exerted a broad-spectrum antiviral activity against both DNA and RNA viruses, accompanied by high safety toward normal cells, where the maximum safe doses (EC100) were estimated to be about 3-3.9 mg/mL for both Vero and PBMC cell lines. Treatment of HCV, ADV7, HSV1, and HIV viruses with the purified polysaccharides showed a potent dose-dependent inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 95.475, 20.96, 5.213, and 461.75 μg/mL, respectively. This activity was hypothesized to be through inhibiting the viral entry in HCV infection and inhibiting the reverse transcriptase activity in HIV. The current study firstly reported the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities of Cucurbita maxima fucose-rich polysaccharide against several viral infections.

Abstract
An antibiotic produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa 7F1 was studied. The 7F1 strain was isolated from the rhizosphere of a wheat field. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the physicochemical parameters. The strain showed broad-spectrum activity against several plant pathogens. Identification of the strain was realized based on 16s rRNA gene and gyrB gene sequencing. The antibiotic was optimized by one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) and response surface methodology (RSM) approaches. The suitable antibiotic production conditions were optimized using the one-factor-at-a-time method. The individual and interaction effects of three independent variables: culture temperature, initial pH, and culture time, were optimized by Box-Behnken design. The 16SrRNA gene sequence (1239 nucleotides) and gyrB gene (1111 nucleotides) were determined for strain 7F1 and shared the highest identities to those of Paenibacillus polymyxa. The results showed the optimal fermentation conditions for antibiotics produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa 7F1 were a culture temperature of 38 °C, initial pH of 8.0, and culture time of 8 h. The antibiotics produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa 7F1 include lipopeptides such as iturin A and surfactin. The results provide a theoretical basis for the development of bacteriostatic biological agents and the control of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Response surface methodology (RSM) is a widely used mathematical and statistical technique for modeling and optimizing the process for the extraction of bioactive compounds. This review explains the optimization approach through the use of experimental design and empirical models for response prediction and the utilization of the desirability function for multiple response optimization. This paper also reviews recent studies on the application of RSM to optimize bioactive compound extraction processes such as conventional solvent extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and ultrasound-assisted extraction. Finally, the challenges associated with the use of RSM and the efforts made to improve RSM in the extraction process are also highlighted. Overall, this review informs many aspects of RSM that are occasionally ignored or insufficiently discussed with regard to the optimization of bioactive compound extraction processes, and it summarizes significant applications where RSM proved suitable. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In order to solve the problems of coal spontaneous combustion, poor inerting effect of traditional nitrogen injection, and waste of resources in goaf, based on the response surface methodology and Box-Behnken combination test principle, the self-developed continuous and precise nitrogen injection and fire-fighting equipment was used to study the best possible combination of nitrogen injection position (20-90 m), nitrogen injection amount (10-70 m3/min), and air supply volume (2100-2500 m3/min), aiming to minimize the width of the oxidation zone and CO concentration in goaf. The optimal key parameters of continuous precise nitrogen injection were determined as follows: nitrogen injection position 54.17 m, nitrogen injection amount 31.04 m3/min, and air supply 2484.81 m3/min. Under this condition, the width of the oxidation zone was 29.21 ± 0.3 m and the CO concentration was 28.1 ± 4.4 ppm, which were similar to the predicted results of the model (the width of the oxidation zone was 29.41 m; CO concentration was 27.28 ppm). The reliability of the model was verified. These preliminary studies have achieved the purpose of rapid control of the fire in the whole region of the goaf and provided valuable lessons for similar nitrogen injection fire prevention and extinguishing technologies in goaf.

Abstract
Plant-derived sesquiterpene lactones are promising natural sources for the discovery of anti-cancer drugs. As an extensively studied sesquiterpene lactone, the tumor suppression effect of parthenolide (PTL) has been clarified by targeting a number of prominent signaling pathways and key protein regulators in carcinogenesis. Notably, PTL was also the first small molecule reported to eradicate cancer stem cells. Nevertheless, the clinical application of PTL as an antitumor agent remains limited, owing to some disadvantages such as low water solubility and poor bioavailability. Thus, nanomedicine has attracted much interest because of its great potential for transporting poorly soluble drugs to desired body sites. In view of the significant advantages over their free small-molecule counterparts, nanoparticle delivery systems appear to be a potential solution for addressing the delivery of hydrophobic drugs, including PTL. In this review, we summarized the key anticancer mechanisms underlined by PTL as well as engineered PTL nanoparticles synthesized to date. Therefore, PTL nanoformulations could be an alternative strategy to maximize the therapeutic value of PTL.
