Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of superoxide dismutase (SOD) from bilberry leaves. Process variables such as ultrasonic power, ultrasonic treatment time and material/liquid ratio were optimized using response surface methodology on the basis of one-factor-at-a-time experiments. The results indicated that the optimal extraction conditions were ultrasonic power of 780 W, ultrasonic treatment time of 5.8 min and material/liquid ratio of 1:2.4. Under these conditions, the specific activity of SOD from bilberry leaves was 1999.28 U/mL.

Key words: bilberry leaves, superoxide dismutase, ultrasonic extraction, response surface
