RT Journal Article T1 Microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) extraction from different raw materials with cosmetic applications A1 Lopez Hortas, Lucia A1 Falqué López, Elena A1 Domínguez González, Herminia A1 Torres Pérez, María Dolores K1 2301 Química Analítica K1 3309.03 Antioxidantes en Los Alimentos K1 3307.08 Dispositivos de Microondas K1 3328.25 Extracción Sólido - Líquido AB Microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) and ethanolic solid-liquid extraction were compared using selected plant sources. Their bioactive profile, color features, and proximate chemical characterization were determined. MHG extracts, commercial antioxidants, and three distinct types of thermal spring water were used in a sunscreen cream formulation. Their bioactive capacity, chemical and rheological properties were evaluated. MHG Cytisus scoparius flower extract provided the highest bioactive properties. Pleurotus ostreatus MHG liquor exhibited the highest total solid extraction yield. The Brassica rapa MHG sample stood out for its total protein content and its monosaccharide and oligosaccharide concentration. Quercus robur acorns divided into quarters supplied MHG extract with the lowest energy requirements, highest DPPH inhibition percentage, total lipid content and the highest enzyme inhibition. The chemical and bioactive capacities stability of the sunscreen creams elaborated with the selected MHG extracts and the thermal spring waters showed a similar behavior than the samples containing commercial antioxidants.
