STUDY ON CHEMICAL COMPONENTS OF THE FICUS PUMILA L. COLLECTED IN NINH BINH PROVINCE BY MICROWAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION

Abstract

From the extraction process of Ficus pumila L. collected in Ninh Binh province.
By column chromatography and microwave-assisted extraction, the structure of the
compound: Naringenin (FPE2) has been isolated and determined. In addition, the
procedure for isolating Naringenin compound isolated from the extract generated
by microwave assisted method was optimized with a solid/liquid ratio of 1/25
g/mL, extraction time of 4 min and at microwave power 450W. After optimizing the
extraction process by microwave assisted extraction, the extraction efficiency is
higher than that of the conventional extraction method, the microwave assisted
extraction efficiency and the extraction efficiency from conventional extraction was
2.2744%. and 1.4494%. Besides, soluble tea have been successfully prepared from
Ficus pumila L. has been used to reduce stress, relax, clear heat, detoxify and help
relieve joint pain. Thereby, study creates a premise for further studies, aiming at the
application and preparation of products based on the activities of Naringenin and
Ficus pumila L. for the medical industry.
