Ultrasound assisted extraction of phytochemicals from Coccinia indica fruits and its characterization

Ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) technique was employed for the extraction of phytochemicals from Coccinia indica fruit. Twenty-two compounds were identified post extraction process by GCMS analysis. Temperature, time of extraction, solvent concentration and solid-solvent (SS) ratio were considered as important process parameters for UAE. Response surface method was applied for optimizing the extraction process. The study focussed on the...
