An investigation to optimize the extraction of phenolic acids from black cohosh using a pressurized liquid extractor system was studied with the aim of developing a generalized approach for sample preparation of phenolic compounds from plant matrices. Operating parameters such as solvent composition, solid-to-solvent ratio, temperature, particle size distribution, and number of extraction cycles were identified as main variables that influence extraction efficiency. A mixture of methanol and water (60:40 v/v) was found to be the best solvent for total phenolics (TP) and individual phenolic acids. The four phenolic acids extracted from black cohosh were identified by HPLC and LC-MS as caffeic acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid and isoferulic acid. Over 96% of the measured phenolics were extracted in first two cycles. The extraction efficiency for black cohosh with MeOH:H2O (60:40 v/v) was found to be maximum at a solid-to-solvent ratio of 80 mg ml-1. TP content of the extract was found to increase with temperature up to 90 °C. Particle size was found to have a large impact on extraction efficiency of TP. Samples with particle size between 0.25 mm and 0.425 mm provided optimum extraction of phenolics from black cohosh.
