Solid-liquid extraction (SLE) (extraction time (5.5-69.5 min) and temperature (25.5-89.5 degrees C)) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) (extraction time (5-25 min) and temperature (25-85 degrees C), and amplitude (50-100%)) were investigated and optimised as a means to recover steroidal alkaloids from potato peel. Optimisation for the recovery of alpha-solanine, alpha-chaconine, and total glycoalkaloid content (TGA) from potato peels was performed using a central composite design (CCD) and Box-Behnken design for SLE and UAE, respectively. For SLE, the recovery of glycoalkaloids increased with increasing temperature, while time had no significant effect (at p <0.05). The optimum conditions for the recovery of alpha-solanine, alpha-chaconine, and TGA during SLE were found to be an extraction time of 76.6 min and extraction temperature of 83.5 C. For UAE, the recovery of glycoalkaloids also increased with increasing extraction temperature (at p <0.05). However, amplitude and extraction time did not significantly affect the recovery of the targeted metabolites (at p <0.05). The optimum conditions for the recovery of alpha-solanine, alpha-chaconine, and TGA during UAE were found to be an extraction time of 20 min, temperature of 85 degrees C, and amplitude of 100%. SLE resulted in significantly higher recoveries of glycoalkaloids than UAE with both models accurately predicting extraction yields as confirmed by experiments conducted under optimum conditions.
