Extraction of phenolic compounds from fresh leaves: A comparison of methods

S D Torti et al. J Chem Ecol. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

The conventional sonicator/shaker bath method for phenolic extraction was compared with a less traditional one using a homogenizer. The homogenizer proved to be both more efficient and consistent in extracting phenolics from tender, as well as tough, leaves. We propose that adoption of the homogenizer technique will increase phenolic yield and efficiency.
