Abstract

A fast and effective microextraction (ME) technique coupled with ultrasonication (US) was applied for extracting a commercially valuable antioxidant compound lutein, from marine microalgae Chlorella salina (C. salina). The extraction of lutein from C. salina was studied in detail under various operating conditions. Several variables influencing the relative response of the target analyte such as temperature (T = 20–60 °C), time (10–50 min), and frequency (15–55 kHz) were optimized. Results showed maximum yield at temperature 40 °C, extraction time of 30 min duration with 35-kHz frequency. Under optimal conditions, the concentration of lutein was 2.92 ± 0.40 mg/g D.W (dry weight). The results obtained are beneficial for the full utilization of Chlorella biomass, which also indicated that ultrasound-assisted microextraction (US-ME) is a very useful method for extracting lutein from microalgae.
