(H. hirsuta L.) has been used as a traditional medicine for treatment of various ailments such as malaria and diabetes in Southeast Asian countries. This study aimed to optimize the conventional extraction conditions for obtaining the highest levels of phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activities within H. hirsuta L. using response surface methodology. The Box–Behnken design was employed to evaluate the effects of extraction time, temperature, and the sample‐to‐solvent ratio on bioactive compound yield and antioxidant capacity of H. hirsuta L. The results indicated that the sample‐to‐solvent ratio had the strongest impact on bioactive compounds and antioxidant power of H. hirsuta L. and revealed the optimum extraction conditions to include temperature of 60 °C, time of 35 min at the sample‐to‐solvent ratio of 1 : 100 g/mL using 40% (v/v) methanol as the solvent. Under these conditions, the highest levels of total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were 16.87 mg GAE/g and 17.55 mg CE/g, respectively, significantly higher than the values obtained using water as the solvent. When preparing powered crude extract from H. hirsuta L., the ratio of 3 : 100 (g/mL) was suggested for the saving of 67% of solvent volume and energy required for solvent removal, as similar total phenolic content and total flavonoid content yield (86–87%) as well as antioxidant activities were obtained in comparison with the ratio of 1 : 100 (g/mL).]]> Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:55:50 AEDT ]]> Numerical investigation of drop formation in a co-current liquid-liquid flow for ice slurry making system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43312 Thu 15 Sep 2022 14:08:33 AEST ]]> Dynamic measurement of liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient and significance on the SO2 absorption rate https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44061 KL,SO2>KL,CO2. The fluxes of SO2 predicted from three methods were further compared with the experimental values measured in SO2-NaOH system. The fluxes predicted from KL,SO2 agreed well with the experimental values, whereas those from KL,CO2 and KL,O2 were significantly lower or higher. Therefore, the liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient is preferably obtained from the targeted gas. Modelling on the flux of SO2 demonstrates the transition of controlling regions against pH. At pH above 4, the gas side resistance is larger than the liquid side, whereas at pH below 4, the gas side resistance is smaller than the liquid side.]]> Thu 06 Oct 2022 10:19:26 AEDT ]]> Guest editorial: foams in flotation and fractionation (editorial) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7176 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:17 AEDT ]]> Start-up transients in a pneumatic foam https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12587 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:42 AEDT ]]> Biomass char as a fuel for internal combustion engines https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21392 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:03 AEDT ]]> Thermogravimetric study and modeling for the drying of a Chinese lignite https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18735 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:46 AEDT ]]> Enhancing allyl alcohol selectivity in the catalytic conversion of glycerol; influence of product distribution on the subsequent epoxidation step https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28256 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:34 AEDT ]]> Water loss due to evaporation from open reservoirs under weather conditions in Vietnam https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44137 Sat 08 Oct 2022 12:43:41 AEDT ]]>
