Abstract:

Box-Behnken experimental design coupled with response surface analysis was employed to optimize the microwaveassisted extraction of antibacterial substances using 50% aqueous ethanol form the inflorescence of Chrysanthemum lavandulaefolium (Fisch.) Mak. Anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity of the extract was investigated by determining the diameter of inhibition zone. The optimal conditions of microwave extraction were as follows: liquid-to-solid ratio 40:1(mL/g), microwave treatment time 15 min, microwave power 480 W. The experimental diameter of inhibition zone was 27.02 mm, which was in accordance with the predicted value of 24.56 mm.

Key words: Chrysanthemum lavandulaefolium (Fisch.)Mak., RSM, Box-Behnken, microwave extraction, antibacteria
