Abstract:

In this study, yacon leaves were used as raw material to extract polyphenols. The extraction process of polyphenols from yacon leaves with alcohol were optimized via single-factor test, orthogonal test and variance analysis. The optimal extraction conditions are as follows: 30% ethanol as extraction solvent, ratio of material to solvent 1:40, temperature 70 ℃, extraction time 1 h and extraction times twice. Under these conditions, the extraction yield is up to 32.92 mg/g.

Key words: yacon leaves, polyphenols, extraction
