Resumo(s)
Due to the great demand ofconsumers for an increasingly healthy diet, the food industry
hás been interested in natural alternatives, namely from plant kingdom, in view of
replacing artificial additives [1,2]. Thus, the development ofthese natural ingredients
requires preliminary studies that evaluate the best extraction methodologies and
conditions, in order to obtain the highest leveis ofthe target compounds [3,4].
The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction of rosmarinic acid from Melissa
officinalis L. (lemon balm), comparing three dififerent techniques: maceration,
microwave assisted extraction and ultrasonic assisted extraction. The response surface
methodology was applied to obtain the conditions that maximize the extraction of
rosmarinic acid, using a circumscribed central composite design with three variables
and five leveis, being the relevant variables time, temperature or power, and ethanol
concentration. The amount of rosmarinic acid (obtained by HPLC-DAD) and the
extraction yield were used as responses.
Ultrasonic extraction proved to be the most efficient technique, leading to 86 ± 4 mg
ofrosmarinic acid/g ofplant (dryweight) under optimal extraction conditions: 33 ± 3
min, 372 ± 19W and40 ± 1% ethanol.
The results obtained highlight that M. officinalis species is a source ofrosmarinic acid
and reveal the best extraction conditions to obtain the highest leveis ofthis molecule,
with great interest for the food industry.
