The results showed that the highest adenosine extraction could be achieved using HHP (1.86 mg/g dry sample at 2000 bar, 60 °C sample to solvent ratio of 1:60 and very short extraction time of 5 min) followed by Soxhlet (1.77 mg/g dry sample, 3 h extraction time). The effect of pressure and temperature during supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of adenosine were distinct at pressure higher than 400 bar and moderate temperature (0.40 mg/g dry sample at 500 bar and 60 °C). The combination of maceration and ultrasonic at moderate temperature (60 °C) improved the extractability of adenosine up 1.01 mg/g dry sample.Mahidol UniversityChemistryArticleSCOPUS
