Abstract:

We review the latest advances on solvent extraction, microwave assisted extraction, ultrasonic assisted extraction, membrane filtration and resin absorption and purification for extraction, separation and purification of anthocyanins from Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. These approaches have such defects as high extraction temperature, difficult solvent recovery and poor equipment reliability. Therefore, novel low temperature purification technologies such as supercritical/ subcritical fluid extraction, high hydrostatic pressure extraction and bioenzyme are future development trend for extraction and separation of anthocyanins from Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn.

Key words: anthocyanins; extraction and purification, Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn.
