Subcritical solvent extraction of anthocyanins from dried red grape pomace.
Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) was used to optimize and determine the effectiveness of an alternative, environmentally friendly extraction procedure using subcritical solvents to recover anthocyanins from freeze-dried, ground Sunbelt red grape pomace. Anthocyanins were extracted from pomace using the following ASE variables: pressure (6.8 MPa), one extraction cycle, and temperature (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 degrees C). Conventional solvent extraction with methanol/water/formic acid (60:37:3 v/v/v) was compared to four hydroethanolic solvents (10, 30, 50, and 70% ethanol in water, v/v). Anthocyanins in the extracts were identified and quantified by HPLC-MS and HPLC. There was an insignificant interaction between solvent and temperature (p = 0.0663). Solvents containing 70 and 50% ethanol in water extracted more total anthocyanins (463 and 455 mg/100 g of DW, respectively) than other solvents. The total amounts of anthocyanins extracted at 100 degrees C (450 mg/100 g of DW), 80 degrees C (436 mg/100 g of DW), and 120 degrees C (411 mg/100 g of DW) were higher than at the other temperatures. Solvents containing 70 and 50% ethanol in water extracted similar amounts of anthocyanins as conventional extraction solvent.
