Abstract

Background: Portulaca oleracea L., commonly known as Krokot, is rich in phenolic compounds with notable pharmacological benefits. Optimizing extraction methods is critical to maximize its bioactive potential. Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficiency of Continuous Percolation (CP) and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) in obtaining total phenolic content (TPC) from 70% ethanol extract of P. oleracea. Methods: Dried powdered P. oleracea was subjected to CP and UAE using a 1:10 (w/v) plant-to-solvent ratio. Qualitative screening with FeCl₃ confirmed the presence of phenolics. TPC was quantified using the Folin–Ciocalteu method, expressed as mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract. Statistical analysis included normality testing, Levene’s test, and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: UAE yielded significantly higher TPC (420.04 ± 0.40 mg GAE/g) compared to CP (354.30 ± 0.00 mg GAE/g; p = 0.034), although CP produced a higher extract mass. Statistical results confirmed the superiority of UAE in selectively extracting phenolic constituents. Conclusion: UAE is more effective than CP in extracting phenolic compounds from P. oleracea, likely due to enhanced cavitation-induced mass transfer. This method is recommended for maximizing phenolic recovery in plant-based extractions, especially for thermolabile compounds.

Abstract

Introduction: Recycled cooking oil has been used to make soap, but it has environmental and health hazards. This study assessed the effectiveness of a community educational intervention to enhance the knowledge of used cooking oil management and soap production. Methods: Nine women attended an educational session, demonstration, and hands-on soapmaking activity. Knowledge was assessed using a validated pre- and post-intervention questionnaire, and measures of satisfaction and confidence. Results: The reliability of the questionnaire was high (Cronbach’s α = 0.903). Knowledge scores went from 66.7% to 98.9% – a 32.2 percentage point increase. Eight improved while 1 remained perfect. Overall satisfaction was 100% and 88.9% reported very high confidence in making their own soap. Conclusion: The intervention was effective in improving short-term knowledge and practical confidence of used cooking oil recycling. It may improve household environmental health literacy and circular economy practices. Longer–term follow-up in larger controlled studies is needed to assess sustained outcomes and product safety.
