Abstract: A high-speed shear dispersing emulsifier (HSDE) was used to treat rape bee pollen for cell wall disruption. The effects of treatment time, temperature, HSDE speed and ratio of raw material to liquid on disruption rate in aqueous medium were investigated. A predictive polynomial quadratic model was set up by means of central composite design and used to optimize these treatment conditions by response surface methodology. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to characterize pollen morphology, and total flavonoids content was determined by colorimetric method to further explain the effectiveness of HSDE treatment in cell wall disruption. The optimal HSDE treatment conditions were determined as 3 min of treatment time, 22000 r/min of HSDE rotary speed, and 1:3 of material-to-liquid ratio (mL/g), resulting in a disruption rate exceeding 99% and a flavonoid yield of 3.60 mg/g. In conclusion, HSDE treatment is a good pretreatment strategy that can provide a high disruption rate in a short time.
