Bioactive Compounds Extraction From Moringa oleifera Leaves: A Comparative Study of Vacuum-Assisted and Bed-Stirred Extractions.

ABSTRACT: Moringa oleifera leaves are a rich source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the efficient extraction of these compounds depends on optimized process conditions and suitable extraction techniques that ensure high yield with the compound's stability. Conventional extraction methods often expose compounds to heat and an oxidative environment, which can degrade sensitive molecules. To address this, this study evaluated the extraction efficiency of these bioactive compounds using a hydroethanolic solvent through vacuum-assisted extraction (VAE) method. For comparison purposes, the bed-stirred extraction (BSE) was also performed. A design of experiments was applied to optimize the process, identifying the solid-solvent ratio (1:150, g/mL) as a key
