Extraction and determination of bioactive flavonoids from Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus flowers using deep eutectic solvents coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography

A highly efficient and ecofriendly extraction method using deep eutectic solvents was developed to extract bioactive flavonoids from Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus flowers. First, a series of deep eutectic solvents using choline chloride as hydrogen bond acceptor with different hydrogen bond donors was successfully synthesized. Then, the types of deep eutectic solvents and the extraction conditions for bioactive flavonoids (hyperoside,...
