Two extraction techniques, Soxhlet and ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE), were used on two cultivars (yellow and orange) of T. erecta. Polyphenols were quantified using HPLC‐tandem mass spectrometry, whereas carotenoids and tocopherols were determined using HPLC‐diode array detection. Biological activity for antioxidant and antiglycation properties was carried out.RESULTS: The best extraction yield was obtained for UAE (7.51% and 6.83% for yellow and orange flowers), corresponding with the largest amounts of polyphenols quantified. The highest content of tocopherols was obtained in the yellow cultivar extracted by Soxhlet (6499.3 ± 21.2 and 4671.0 ± 92.9 mg kg−1 dry extract for α‐ and γ‐tocopherol). The antioxidant potential resulted higher in the orange Soxhlet extract, whereas the yellow Soxhlet extract displayed the best antiglycation activity (median 50% inhibitory concentration of 25.3 ± 3.3 μg mL−1).CONCLUSION: Both extraction techniques showed interesting results in terms of bioactivity and compounds obtention. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/B44-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 3.5 2024 AGRICULTURE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 18 / 94 = 0.191 2024 Q1 T1 CHEMISTRY, APPLIED 26 / 76 = 0.342 2024 Q2 T2 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 69 / 182 = 0.379 2024 Q2 T2 0.798 2024 Food Science 2024 Q1 Agronomy and Crop Science 2024 Q1 Nutrition and Dietetics 2024 Q2 Biotechnology 2024 Q2 7.9 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Valero, Marta Sofía Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2231-7565 Mustafa, Ahmed M Caprioli, Giovanni Maggi, Filippo Gómez-Rincón, Carlota López, Víctor 1012 410 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
