Abstract:

Flos puerariae was used as raw material to extract isoflavone using n-buatnol/water two-phase system as solvents. Based on single factor experiments, the optimal extraction processing was explored by central design composite experiments combined with response surface methodology. Results showed that the optimal extraction processing parameters were extraction time of 1.3 h, extraction temperature of 70 ℃, n-buatnol-water ratio of 1:1 (V/V) and material-liquid ratio of 1:55 (g/mL). Under these optimal conditions, the extraction rate of isoflavone was 96.24%, which was very close to predicted value. Therefore, it is feasible to optimize the extraction processing of isoflavone from Flos puerariae by response surface methodology.
