Popis: This context presents the study of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) to obtain phenolic and flavonoid compounds from watermelon rind powder (WRP). The antioxidant activity of the extracts was investigated using DPPH and ABTS+ assays. One-factor experiments were conducted to examine the effect of each factor (solid-to-liquid ratio (SLR), acetone concentration (AC), temperature, and time) on the UAE of WRP. Box-Behnken Design (BDD) model was employed to optimize the UAE conditions based on total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and their antioxidant activities. The optimal conditions were 1:30.50 SLR, 70.71% AC, 29.78 °C, and 10.65 min extraction time. There were no significant differences between predicted and experimental results (less than 6.0%), recommending a feasible and innovative process of deploying UAE to extract phenolics and flavonoids effectively from watermelon rind.
