Drying kinetics and optimization of quercetrin extraction from melastoma malabathricum leaves

The leaves of Melastoma malabathricum were dried and ultrasonicated to produce a high-quality extract. The optimum drying temperature was determined to obtain the highest yield, total phenolics, and flavonoids, especially quercetrin content with antiradical capacity. The Midilli model could explain...
