Abstract: Betel nut oil was obtained by ultrasonic-microwave assisted extraction and its compositions were rapidly determined by a spectrophotometer. The extraction process conditions were optimized by response surface tests on the basis of single factor tests. According to the effects of extraction time, extraction temperature and material-liquid ratio on extraction rate of betel nut oil, the optimal extraction process parameters were extraction time of 22 min, extraction temperature of 65 ℃ and material-liquid ratio of 1:11 (g/mL). Under the optimal extraction process conditions, the extraction rate of betel nut oil was up to 14.29%. Gas chromatography analysis showed that the major compositions of betel nut oil were 33.5% myristic acid, 20.4% 9-octadecenoic acid, 19.19% 12-octadecadienoic acid, 15.82% hexadecanoic acid, 9.51% dodecanoic acid and 1.59% octadecanoic acid.

Key words: betel nut oil, ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction, response surface methodology (RSM), ultraviolet spectrophotometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
