Optimization of ultrasound‐assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from grapefruit (<i>Citrus paradisi</i> Macf.) leaves via D‐optimal design and artificial neural network design with categorical and quantitative variables

Abstract

The same dataset was used to train multilayer feed-forward networks using different approaches via MATLAB, with ANN exhibiting superior performance to RSM (differences included categorical factor in one model and higher regression coefficients), while close values were obtained for the extraction variables under study, except for ethanol concentration and extraction time. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
