Simultaneous optimisation of extraction of xanthone and benzophenone α-glucosidase inhibitors from Cyclopia genistoides and identification of superior genotypes for propagation

Extraction of xanthones and benzophenones from Cyclopia genistoides was optimised in terms of solvent composition (ethanol concentration) and extraction temperature, using a central composite design, response surface methodology and multi-response desirability profiling. Compounds of interest were t...
