Abstract:

Procyanidins in buckwheat shells was extracted with a mixture of 70% ethanol and water. In order to maximize the extraction of procyanidins, a rotatable orthogonal central composite design combined with response surface and ridge analyses was employed. Extraction temperature and time affected the yield of procyanidins significantly (P < 0.05), while the effect of ratio of material to liquid was not significant. The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: ratio of material to liquid 1: 16.9, temperature 73 ℃, and extraction time 118.9 min. Under these conditions, the actual yield of procyanidins was 0.56%, which accounts for 94.9% of the theoretically predicted value of 0.59%.

Key words: buckwheat, procyanidins, extraction technology, rotatable orthogonal central composite design
