Flavonoids are plant-based compounds with powerful antioxidant properties found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Young barley leaves are reported to contain a significant amount of flavonoids such as isovitexin and saponarin as well as natural pigments such as chlorophyll and beta-carotene. However, the presence of natural pigments in the final extract may not be helpful to the preparation of cosmetic formulations.
Conventional methods such as organic solvent extraction and hot-water extraction have been widely used to extract flavonoids from various plants. However, these methods require the use of large amounts of organic solvents and/or high energy consumption. Furthermore, public health, environmental, and safety issues are the major concerns in the use of organic solvents in extraction processes. To overcome these limitations, a variety of processes involving extraction with supercritical fluids have been developed and are regarded as a viable extraction technology that meets the product quality and safety requirements.
The main purpose of our study was to develop a high-efficiency supercritical fluid extraction technology for production of cosmeceutical ingredients from young barley leaves. As a preliminary study, solvent extraction experiments were performed to select organic solvents, suitable for the extraction of natural pigments and/or antioxidants. Ethanol was found to be very effective for pigment extraction, while methanol was most effective for antioxidant extraction.
Two different extraction techniques, solvent extraction and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) extraction, were investigated to compare their extraction efficiency of antioxidants and pigments from young barley leaves. Using pure SCCO2, antioxidants and pigments were not extracted significantly from barley leaves. As a pretreatment extraction process, a supercritical fluid extraction was carried out using SCCO2 modified with the organic solvents, selected in the preliminary study, in order to improve the pure SCCO2 extraction process. Compared with solvent extraction, the purity of antioxidants and pigments was found to increase about 2.6 times when SCCO2 was modified with 95% aqueous ethanol solution. It was also confirmed that the EtOH-modified SCCO2 process can be used to extract significant amounts of pigments from young barley leaves while minimizing the extraction of antioxidants.
The single-step supercritical fluid extraction process was developed to maximize the extraction of antioxidants from young barley leaves, while minimizing the extraction of pigments. The single-step process using MeOH-modified SCCO2 was found to be very effective for extraction of antioxidants from young barley leaves. The highest extraction efficiency of antioxidants was observed at 80℃ and 100 bar for 1 h when 90% aqueous methanol solution was used as a cosolvent.
A hydrid-type extraction system, in which ultrasonication was applied to the single-step supercritical fluid extraction, was investigated to improve further the extraction efficiency of antioxidants. The purity of antioxidants in the final extract gradually increased as temperature, amount of cosolvent mixed with SCCO2 and power of ultrasonication increased. Optimal conditions for the extraction of antioxidants from young barley leaves were found to be 80℃, 150 bar, 2.0 h, 200 mL of cosolvent and 400 W when 100% methanol was used as cosolvent.
The lab-scale single-step extraction apparatus was scaled-up about 10 times, and extraction experiments were performed to obtain engineering data needed for commercialization of the supercritical fluid extraction process.
A double-step supercritical fluid extraction process, which combined organic solvent extraction with a superciritcal aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES) drying process, were developed and its optimal conditions were investigated. The purity of antioxidants in the final extract increased up to 1.3 times, and the purity of pigments decreased up to 74% when methanol was used as extraction solvent and pure SCCO2 as antisolvent.
An integrated extraction/drying process, which combined sequentially supercritical fluid pre-extraction, solvent-modified SCCO2 extraction process and supercritical ASES drying process, was developed to improve the purity of antioxidants and to completely remove pigments. Then, the effect of operating parameters on the extraction was investigated in detail. It was found that the purity of antioxidants increased about 1.5 times compared with organic solvent extraction, and pigments were completely removed.
A cosolvent-modified SCCO2 ASES process was also carried out to dry extract solutions containing a significant amount of water. It was found that this process could be applied to extract solutions containing up to 40%(v/v) of water. The purity of antioxidants in the final extract was improved about 35% and 26% respectively when 80% aqueous MeOH solution and 80% aqueous EtOH solution were used as extraction solvent.
Both residual solvent analysis and cytotoxicity test were conducted to confirm the safety of barley leaves extracts. The residual solvent analysis showed that organic solvents were not detected in the barley leaves extract obtained using the cosolvent-modified SCCO2 ASES process. Cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that the barley leaves extracts were even less toxic than a surfactant (SDS) widely used in toilet commodity.
To evaluate the stability of barley leaves extracts, the extract was exposed to various environmental stresses for 2 months. The concentration of antioxidants did not change for two months, which confirmed that the barley leaves extract was stable. The stability of cosmetic formulations containing the barley leaves extract was also confirmed through a physical test that estimated the variation in discoloration, pH and viscosity.
To prepare preservative-free cosmetic formulations containing barley leaves extract, an antibacterial test was carried out using a cosmetic formulation with 1,2-hexanediol, which is known to be nontoxic and antibacterial. The preservative-free cosmetic formulations were found to be safe when the concentration of 1,2-hexanediol was higher than 2.0%.
A human patch test were performed for 33 subjects to estimate the skin stimulation level of the preservative-free cosmetic formulations and no skin stimulation was observed for all subjects.
