Abstract:

The ultrasonic extraction technology coupling with propyl alcohol-ammonium sulfate aqueous aqueous two-phase separation for extracting total flavonoids from tartary buckwheat seedling was studied. The results showed that under the optimum conditions, the extraction rate of total flavonoids is 1.86 % and their content in extract is 19.3 %, which is much higher than that extracted by circumfluence of solvent. Moreover, the total flavonoids extract could singificant1y inhibit lipid peroxidation (LPO) induced by ·OH free radical generation system. In a word, this method is simply, mild conditions and environmentally friendly.

Key words: ultrasonic extraction, aqueous two-phase separation, taratry buckwheat seedling, total flavonoids, antioxidantion
