Abstract:

On the basis of single-factor tests, some factors affecting the extraction rate of total flavonoids from lotus leaves were firstly evaluated by Plackett-Burman design, and then the extraction conditions were optimized by response surface analysis. The results showed that the optimal extraction conditions are as follows: ethanol concentration 67%, ratio of ethanol solution to raw material 34∶1 and extraction times 3. Under the above conditions, the predicted value of extraction rate of total flavonoids is 3.19% and its experimental value is 3.17%, which indicated that the combination of Plackett-Burman design and response surface analysis can well optimize the extraction technology of total flavonoids from lotus leaves.

Key words: lotus leaves, total flavonoids, Plackett-Burman design, response surface analysis
