Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents vs. Conventional Solvents: Effects on Crude Yield, Mangiferin Content, Antioxidant Activity, and Toxicity in Mangifera pajang Kosterm. Fruit Extracts

What if the secret to unlocking a wild mango's medicinal power lies not in the fruit itself, but in the green solvent used to extract it? A new study shows that natural deep eutectic solvents outperform traditional ones, boosting yield and antioxidant activity.

Deep in Borneo, the 'Bambangan' fruit (Mangifera pajang Kosterm.) hides a wealth of antioxidants. Yet, this underutilized gem has been overlooked. Now, scientists are asking a crucial question: which solvent best unlocks its medicinal potential? The answer might reshape green extraction.

Key Points

• NADES boosts extraction yield to 37.09%.
• Highest mangiferin, flavonoids, and phenolics.
• Non-toxic and potent antioxidant activity.
