Optimization of the extraction procedure for the determination of phenolic acids and flavonoids in the leaves of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymusL.)

In this study, an ultrasound-assisted extraction method was studied, which proved to be more efficient than the standard protocol of the European Pharmacopoeia, since it led to comparable results, was faster and easier to handle, and was more sustainable due to a reduced need for organic solvents.
