Abstract:

Radix pueraria was used as raw material to optimize flavoniods extraction with the aid of microwave and ultrasonic technology. Effects of solid-liquid ratio, microwave power, microwave duration, microwave treatment repeat times, alcohol concentration on extraction rate of flavonoids were evaluated through orthogonal experiments. Results showed that the optimal extraction condition was 30 min of initial ultrasonic treatment, 700 W microwave power, 80 mesh of grinding degree, 40 s of microwave duration, 1:25 of solid-liquid ratio, 50% alcohol, and three times of microwave repeat treatment. Extraction rate of flavonoids from Radix pueraria was 85.69% under this optimal condition.

Key words: Radix pueraria, ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, flavonoids
