EXTRACTION OF APIGENIN FROM GERMAN CHAMOMILE (MATRICARIA CHAMOMILLA L.) BY PRESSURIZED HOT WATER
Minko Dinchev Govedarov*
ABSTRACT
Studies were conducted to explore the extraction of dry German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) using pressurized hot water for deriving the active ingredient apigenin. For the purpose, a series of tests were conducted under identical conditions, using dry untreated raw material in one case, and steam- distilled raw material in the other case. Exhausting extraction with methyl alcohol of two types of feedstock was used as a control sample. Results show that after six extractions of dry untreated German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) using water as a solvent at a temperature of 150 оС with a total duration of 60 min, the yield of total dry matter is 34.08 % of the absolute dry weight Keywords: Green extraction, Pressurized hot water extraction, German chamomile, Apigenin.
