Prior to the polyphenols extraction, the crude pollen was defatted. The extraction from defatted pollen was carried out by varying four extraction parameters: ultrasonic amplitude (20%, 60% and 100%), solid\/liquid ratio (10 g\/L, 20 g\/L and 30 g\/L), temperature (35, 50 and 65 \u00b0C) and time (10, 20 and 30 min). The extracts were analyzed in terms of extraction yield (%), total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavones content (TFC). The extracted oil was analyzed in terms of fatty acids composition; myristic acid (159.1 \u00b5g \u00d7 g\u22121) and cis-14-pentadecenoic acid (106.6 \u00b5g\u00b7g\u22121) were found in the highest amount in the pollen oil. The optimum conditions of extraction were determined and were, as follows: 100% amplitude of ultrasonic treatment, 30 g\/L solid\/liquid ratio, 40.85 \u00b0C and 14.30 min, which led to the extraction of 366.1 mg GAE\/L of TPC and 592.2 mg QE\/g of TFC, and also to an extraction yield of 1.92%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox9040322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,16]],"date-time":"2020-04-16T13:01:39Z","timestamp":1587042099000},"page":"322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Polyphenols from Crude Pollen"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mircea","family":"Oroian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foond Engineering, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florin","family":"Ursachi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foond Engineering, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0255-7470","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florina","family":"Dranca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foond Engineering, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"992","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfoodeng.2005.08.027","article-title":"Antibacterial activities of Turkish pollen and propolis extracts against plant bacterial pathogens","volume":"77","author":"Basim","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
