In this study, eleven kinds of flavonoids were identified from F. tataricum bran (FTB) by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, and HPLC-DAD analysis revealed that four compounds, including rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and nicotiflorin, were the most significant components. Subsequently, natural deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasound-assisted extraction (NADES-UAE) was employed to extract flavonoids from FTB. Among the six kinds of NADES prepared, choline chloride–ethylene glycol (ChCl-EG) was identified as a promising candidate for extracting flavonoids due to its superior extraction performance. The extraction conditions were statistically investigated using response surface methodology conducted by Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal operational conditions were as follows: ultrasonic time 268 s, ultrasonic temperature 76 °C, and liquid–solid ratio 43 mL/g, which resulted in a high total flavonoid yield of 40.29 mg/g. Afterwards, the efficient extraction mechanism of NADES-UAE was comprehensively explored through FT-IR spectra, COSMO model, and microstructural analysis. In conclusion, NADES-UAE extraction is considered a green, efficient, and sustainable method for FTB flavonoids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tartary buckwheat flavonoids have a variety of effects on anti‐inflammatory, anti‐oxidation, as well as anti‐tumor and are valuable for academic research and industrial application. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with various gastrointestinal diseases in humans, and an increase in its resistance has led to the failure of many drugs. In this study, we quantified the main monomers of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum Tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) bran flavonoids extract through HPLC analysis. Then, we investigated the anti‐H. pylori activity and the effect on cell inflammation of tartary buckwheat flavonoids extract and its four main flavonoid monomers (rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and nicotiflorin). The results showed that tartary buckwheat flavonoids extract and its four flavonoid monomers could inhibit the growth of H. pylori and down‐regulate the expression of proinflammatory factors IL‐6, IL‐8, and CXCL‐1 in H. pylori‐induced GES‐1 cells. Moreover, we also confirmed that tartary buckwheat flavonoids extract could reduce the expression of virulence factor gene of H. pylori. In summary, tartary buckwheat can alleviate the cell inflammation induced by H. pylori, which provides a theoretical basis for the development of tartary buckwheat healthcare products.
