ABSTRACT

Matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) methodology as a quick and easy extraction method has been developed to extract oleuropein from Olea europaea leaves. This method has been compared with conventional maceration and Soxhlet extraction (SOXE) methods. Variables affecting MSPD, such as the sorbent material, the ratio of sample to sorbent material, elution solvent, and volume of the elution solvent, have been fully evaluated and optimized. Oleuropein was successfully extracted by silica sorbent with 350 microL of dichloromethane-methanol (70 + 30, v/v) as the elution solvent. The calibration curve showed good linearity (r2 = 0.9985) and precision (RSD <4.5%) in the concentration range of 0.5-100 microg/mL for oleuropein. The LOD and LOQ were 0.14 and 0.5 microg/mL, respectively. The recoveries were in the range of 88.0-94.0% with RSD values ranging from 6.0 to 9.8%. The extraction yields obtained by the MSPD method were comparable with those obtained by the maceration and SOXE methods. The reported MSPD extraction method was revealed to be eco-friendly, simpler, and faster than conventional methods used to quantify oleuropein in O. europaea leaves.
