Abstract:

The mixture cyclohexane and acetone was used to extract garlic oil in this study. The effects of mass ratio of cyclohexane to acetone, mass ratio of garlic to extraction solven, factors extraction temperature and time on garlic oil extraction rate were investigated. Based on single factor test, orthogonal test was conducted to optimize the above extraction conditions. The results showed that the optimal extraction conditions of garlic oil are as follows: mass ratio of cyclohexane to acetone 7:3, mass ratio of garlic to extraction solvent 1:6, extraction time 6 hours and extraction temperature 55 ℃.

Key words: mixture of cyclohexane and acetone, garlic oil, extraction technology
