Impact of Extraction Conditions on Resveratrol Content and Antioxidant Properties of Japanese Knotweed Extracts by Małgorzata Olszowy-Tomczyk, Dorota Wianowska

“…It was shown that although the best extractant was the same water–alcohol mixture, the optimal conditions for the extraction of resveratrol and polyphenols were different: 10 min, 50 °C and 80 kHz for resveratrol (for which the highest contents of resveratrol equals 0.91 mg/g was obtained) and 20 min, 25 °C and 37 kHz for polyphenolics (for which the total phenolic content equals 31.28 mg of gallic acid/g was determined) Under the latter conditions, one of the best antioxidant activities was also obtained. …”
