摘要

This study optimized the sonication-assisted hydrodistillation (SAHD) process for extracting essential oil (EO) from Cinnamomum tamala leaves, aiming to maximize yield and antioxidant activity. Both response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were used to predict extraction performance. The interpretability of the ANN model was enhanced using a neural interpretation diagram (NID), Olden’s algorithm, and sensitivity analysis, and it demonstrated higher accuracy and generalization than RSM. Under optimized conditions, the EO yield reached 1.67 ± 0.13%, with strong antioxidant activity indicated by a total phenolic content (TPC) of 79.24 ± 0.82 mg GAE/g and 81.54 ± 0.88% inhibition of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). Residual analysis showed that both models satisfied key regression assumptions, including normality, independence, homoscedasticity, and lack of bias. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis identified linalool (47.37%), eugenol (18.34%), and cinnamaldehyde (16.45%) as key constituents. Physicochemical characterization verified EO quality and stability. The integrated modeling approach provides a robust framework for enhancing EO extraction efficiency.
