- Abstract
The extraction of total phenolics (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), total saponins content (TSC), and caffeic acid (AC) contents of asparagus roots extract (ARE) from New Zealand and Chinese AR cultivars was optimized following a microwave-assisted extraction combined with central composite design. The determination of AC was conducted by HPLC in samples extracted under the optimum extraction conditions. The optimal variables for ethanol extraction generated a maximum TPC, TFC and TSC of optimal results for 68.6 mg GAE/g, 11.9 mg RE/g and 0.7 mg SE/g as well as antioxidant power towards β-carotene bleaching assay (%βsc) (57.2%), superoxide anion radical (%Osc2−) scavenging capacity (20.1%) and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP) (1.63 µmol/g). For methanol, optimum extraction conditions obtained maximum TPC (62.6 mg GAE/g) TFC (10.7 mg RE/g), TSC (0.68 mg SE/g) with %βsc (53.9%), %Osc2− (19.1%) and FRAP (0.63 µmol/g). The content of caffeic acid from ARE ranged from 0.46 to 2.89 mg/g with ethanol and from 0.41 to 2.64 mg/g with methanol.
