Abstract
Biologically active prenyoxyphenylpropanoids are well known to be biosynthesized by Citrus species, for which they have been found most abundantly in fruit peels. Although several extraction methodologies have been described, the development of novel and alternative extraction processes is a field of research of current interest. In this preliminary communication, we studied the performance of the subcritical butane promoted extraction of selected oxyprenylated phenylpropanoids from grapefruit peels under a counter-current mode using a handmade extraction apparatus coupled to UHPLC analysis. The application of such a method yielded 7-isopentenyloxycoumarin, auraptene, and boropinic acid in quantities higher than those recorded for other extraction methodologies like the ultrasound- and microwave-assisted macerations (0.234, 1.035, and 0.211 mg/g of dry extract respectively). The use of subcritical butane as the extraction solvent for oxyprenylated phenylpropanoids is reported herein for the first time and can be easily adopted for several other food matrices.

Abstract
A green dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) using deep eutectic solvent (DES) as the extracting solvent has been developed and applied for the simultaneous quantification of ferulic acid, umbelliferone, boropinic acid, 7-isopentenyloxycoumarin, 4'-geranyloxyferulic acid (GOFA), and auraptene in some vegetable oils using ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with photodiode array detection (PDA). All parameters in the extraction step, including selection and loading of both extracting and dispersing solvents, amount of both extractant and disperser solvent were investigated and optimized. PhAA/TMG DES achieved higher recovery and enrichment factor compared to other DESs. The validated method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients, r2>0.9990 for all the analytes. Furthermore, this is the first time that eco-friendly solvents are used for the extraction of oxyprenylated phenylpropanoids and the corresponding extract analyzed with ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection.
