Extraction, Antioxidant activity, Phenolic compound, AnthocyanidinsAbstract
Anthocyanins are phenolic compounds with high antioxidant properties obtained from plant sources, such as leaves, flowers, and fruits. As it is a thermosensitive compound, it requires a lot of control over the extraction method so that there is no degradation or reduction of antioxidant activity. In this context, this work presents a systematic review about anthocyanin extraction as well as a discussion of parameters that strongly influence the yield and amount of extracted anthocyanins, such as types of solvents and acidifiers, extraction time, solid-liquid ratio, and temperature. It was observed that solvent extraction and ultrasonic assisted extraction are the most used techniques, as well as methanol and ethanol, the most used solvents. The extraction is independent of the raw material but is optimized when performed at low pH and milder temperatures. The preference for polar solvents also stands out, due to the better solubility in relation to the bioactive ones.

The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
