Apple cider vinegar vs. ethanol as an extraction solvent in the ultrasound-assisted extraction of elderberry fruits

Traditional plant extraction methods commonly employ hazardous solvents that threaten human health. Considering these, the study sought to explore the efficacy of seven distinct types of apple cider vinegar (ACV) as an alternative solvent for isolating polyphenols from dry elderberries as a raw material. In the pursuit of identifying the most suita...

Developed and validated HPLC method for simultaneous analysis of key flavonoids and phenolcarboxylic acids in the hawthorn-based cardiotonic Forticor®

Relatively simple, but very reliable, one-step qualitative/quantitative HPLC analysis of four key flavonoids, and a phenolcarboxylic acid, has been introduced. For substrate/sample preparations, either triple percolations, using 70% ethanol-water (V/V), or/and ultrasonic bath methanol extractions, were carried out to obtain the desired isolates yi...

Antibacterial and antibiofilm potential of carvacrol against oral Streptococcus spp. isolates

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent public health problems. It is caused by a well-organized bacterial structure i.e., biofilm, where the cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans is recognized as the primary pathogenic factor. Furthermore, the first phase of dental biofilm onset is predominantly associated to bacteria of the Streptococcus g...
