  Phenolic compounds extraction is a great research required to their bioactive properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory activity. In this study extraction, optimization and determination of phenolic compounds from Ruta Chalepensis (Tenadam) leaves has been recognized as good sources for antioxidant potential on butter. The phenolic compounds were extracted by soxhlet apparatus (Scintifica VELP modern soxhlet) and the extraction process parameters such as extraction time (90-180minute), type of solvents (ethanol, methanol and acetone) and solid mass to solvent ratio (0.05-0.10) were optimized by using response surface methods. Results showed that extraction conditions significantly (P<0.05) affect phenolic compounds of Ruta Chalepensis leaves extract. The yield of phenolic compounds was ranged from 150.09 .. Read More»
