Comparison of Extraction Techniques for 1'-Acetoxychavicol Acetate from Dried Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. Rhizomes
Keywords:
1'-Acetoxychavicol acetate, Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd, Extraction, HPTLCAbstract
Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd., a member of the Zingiberaceae family, contains various biologically active compounds. Among these, 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) is a major volatile component in the galangal rhizome, exhibiting numerous pharmacological properties. Notably, ACA is absent in galangal essential oil obtained through steam distillation. This study aimed to determine the best extraction technique for ACA from galangal rhizome powder (GRP). GRP was subjected to four extraction techniques (maceration extraction (ME), ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE), reflux extraction (RE) and Soxhlet extraction (SE) and the resulting crude extracts (CEs) were analyzed for ACA content using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). The ACA content was expressed as a percentage of weight per CE and GRP. The study found that the extraction technique significantly influenced the yield of CEs and the quantity of ACA per CE and GRP. The SE technique yielded the highest amount of CEs (19.15 ± 0.66%). However, the RE technique provided the highest ACA content per CE (41.77 ± 4.58%) and per GRP (3.79 ± 0.57%), even though it did not yield the highest CE (9.05 ± 0.44%). The technique that produced the highest CEs resulted in more impurities than the technique that yielded the highest ACA content. Therefore, it was concluded that RE is the best technique to achieve the highest percentage of ACA per CE and per GRP.
