This study focuses on the influence of some operative parameters of PLE employed for the extraction of colorants from onion (Allium cepa) skins.

Complete extraction of colorants often requires several steps and may use a mixture of several solvents. Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) is an alternative method for colorants extraction. This study focuses on the influence of some operative parameters of PLE employed for the extraction of colorants from onion (Allium cepa) skins. Extractions were conducted at temperatures ranging from 50 to 150 °C with a pressure of 1000 psi and two extraction cycles of 15 minutes. The effect of two extraction solvents (distilled water and 0.1 % HC1 in methanol (v/v)) was examined. It was found that extraction temperature and type of extraction solvent influenced the yield and color of extracted colorant, and the composition of anthocyanins extracted. Elevated temperatures were found to increase the yield significantly, while the effect of extraction pressure was found to be insignificant. In acidified methanol extraction, the yields (colorant (g) / 100 g sample) varied from 9.56 ± 0.46 to 16.71 ± 1.60 while using water; the yields varied from 7.06 ± 1.30 to 20.99 ± 0.75. Highest amount of yield was obtained at 150 °C for both acidified methanol and water extractions.
