Mentha piperita L. extracts obtained by hybrid technology
Abstract
Mentha piperita L. is one of the most popular and consumed species worldwide thanks to the presence of properties of great interest such as: antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial capacity. There are various methodologies for the extraction of secondary metabolites, however, many of them turn out to be inefficient since they present considerable extraction times, low yields, and high costs. In this work, a hybrid extraction methodology was developed using ultrasound-microwave assistance to obtain secondary metabolites from dry leaves of Mentha piperita L. The results were compared with conventional extraction techniques, highlighting a considerable reduction in time and a yield of 23.58%, this being on average 7.56% higher than the results obtained by conventional techniques. In addition, by means of FTIR-ATR and HPLC-MS/ESI, organic compounds were identified, such as caffeic acid, medioresinol, caffeoylquinic acids, rosmarinic acid and luteolin, demonstrating that the hybrid ultrasound-microwave technology is a viable alternative to extract compounds of interest with excellent returns.
