The bio-actives derived from Spices are very well known to posses several therapeutic and medicinal benefits involving, antimicrobial, antiviral, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antilithogenic, antimutagenic, hypolipidemic/hypocholesterolemic and anticarcinogenic activities, and also to stimulate the digestive system.

To extract the bio-actives the basic unit operation of extraction is applied to isolate and separate the essential oils, oleoresins, and bio-active compounds from grounded spices followed by purification of crude extracts. The extraction carried out in presence of sonication, known as Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) which is proposed to be majorly governed by the phenomenon of acoustic cavitation.

 

Acoustic cavitation aid in following mechanism to enhance the extraction process

 

• Disruption of cell in plant tissues
• Matrix fragmentation
• Micro turbulence and micro mixing
• Active radical formation
• Pore formation
• Increased mass transfer and diffusion rates

 

 

Major advantages of UAE over different process

 

• Lower energy consumption
• High retention of heat sensitive compounds
• Mild extraction conditions
• Lower processing times
• High quality and purity
• Higher extraction yields
• Easy to operateand maintain
