Development of an Innovative Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Technique to Optimize Extraction on Phytoconstituents and Compared Conventional Extraction Method

In the past, people have relied on some methods like the Soxhlet and reflux device to extract plant matter. To address this problem, we use a cutting-edge extraction technique to remove the relevant plant material. There are several advantages of using ultrasonic-assisted extraction over the conventional approach, such as reduced solvent consumption, reduced extraction time, increased extraction purity, and an increased yield of bioactive phytoconstituents. The family Commelinaceae includes the Indian herb Tradescantia spathacea (T.S), which is used as a traditional medicine. It is the southeast Mexican region known as “Maguey Morado” are derived from Tradescantia spathacea (T.S) leaves extracted using traditional and ultrasonic-assisted extraction procedures using petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol, hydroalcoholic, and aqueous solvents (Purple Maguey). Total phenolic and flavonoid concentrations were also determined for extracts made using the two techniques. Results indicate that ultrasonic-assisted extraction technique produces a higher phytoconstituent yield compared to standard extraction methods.
