Abstract:

The extraction of storage proteins from ‘Baiyu’ yam tubers grown in Jiaozuo, Henan province was optimized
using combination of one-factor-at-a-time method, Box-Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM).
Three factors influencing the extraction yield of yam storage proteins, i.e., pH, liquid/material ratio and extraction time
were investigated. The results showed that all these three factors had a notable effect on the extraction yield of yam storage
proteins and their significance could be ranked in a decreasing order of pH > liquid/material ratio > extraction time. The
optimal extraction conditions were determined as 8.5, 3:1 (mL/g) and 20 min for pH, liquid/material ratio and extraction
time, respectively. The predicted extraction yield of yam storage proteins under the optimized conditions was 57.88%,
agreeing with the experimental value (57.74%). The regression model predicting the extraction of yam storage proteins was
highly significant and had excellent goodness of fit, suggesting its usefulness.
