Abstract:

On the basis of single factor and orthogonal array experiments, the optimal process for the extraction of total flavonoids from rose was explored. The optimal extraction conditions were found to be: extraction solvent, 75% ethanol; extraction temperature, 80 ℃; extraction duration, 3 h; and material/solvent ratio of 1:25. The scavenging capacity of ethanol extract from rose on DPPH free radicals was up to 90.23%. Meanwhile, strong antibacterial effect of ethanol extract from rose against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis were also observed through Oxford Cup experiments.

Key words: rose, flavonoid, antioxidant activity, antibacterial effect
