Abstract: One-factor-at-a-time coupled with orthogonal array design method was employed to optimize the extraction of polypehnols from apple. The optimal extraction conditions were determined as follows: 30% ethanol as the extraction solvent at a material/liquid ratio of 1:6, 70 ℃ temperature and 45 min extraction time. Under these conditions, the extraction yield of polyphenols from apple was 9.032 mg/g. The DPPH radical scavenging rate of apple polyphenols extracted was 94.6% and the FRAP 546.4 μmol/L.

Key words: apple polyphenols, antioxidant properties, DPPH free radicals, FRAP assay
