Abstract:

Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology were applied to maximize the glutathione yield from Saccharomyces cerevisiae extracted with alcohol. Results showed that the optimum conditions of glutathione extraction were as follows: ethanol concentration 43.7%, amount of added ethanol 7.03 mL/ 0.1 g yeast powder and extraction time 80 min. Under such optimal conditions, a maximal glutathione yield of 9.54 mg/g were obtained.

Key words: glutathione, ethanol, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, response surface analysis
