Deep eutectic solvents assisted green extraction and bioevaluation of phenolic compounds from <i>Piper nigrum</i> and <i>Murraya koenigii</i>
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for extracting bioactives from Piper nigrum and Murraya koenigii, focusing on the effects of temperature and molar composition. Choline chloride-malonic acid DESs exhibited reduced viscosity with increasing temperature (1.78 to 1.276 mPa & sdot;s from 50 degrees C to 90 degrees C at 1:1.5 ratio), enhancing mass transfer. Thermal analysis confirmed low melting points and high stability, supporting their use in thermally assisted extraction. Optimal extraction occurred at 60 degrees C for P. nigrum (1:1.5) and 80 degrees C for M. koenigii (1:0.5). Acetone purification improved compound purity without major yield loss. Piperine and mahanimbine levels reached 10.34 % and 12 % w/w, respectively. Although DES extracts showed slightly lower lipid digestion inhibition than raw powders, their biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and potential to enhance bioavailability highlight their promise in sustainable functional food applications.
