Albumin as an Effective Auxiliary Agent for the Enriched Extraction of Anthraquinones and Curcumin from Plant Matrices.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, several processes to enrich desired bioactive compounds in plant extracts have been developed. The objective of the present study was to assess the performance of bovine serum albumin in increasing the extractive yields of anthraquinones and diarylheptanoids from their respective raw plant powder extracts. Aloe emodin, rhein, emodin, and chrysophanol, from Polygonum cuspidatum, Senna alexandrina, Rhamnus frangula, and Rheum palmatum, and curcumin from Curcuma longa were analyzed in parent dry extracts, solubilized either with water, ethanol, or hydro-alcoholic mixtures, and in ones treated with aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin by HPLC with UV/Vis detection. The different ratios between the volumes of solvents, powdered plant extracts, a
