Abstract:

Extraction of flavonoids from pomegranate seeds using ethanol associated with a chelate, sodium hexametahposphate (SH), was optimized through orthogonal experiments. The optimal extraction condition was 70 ℃ of extraction temperature, 70% ethanol, 1:25 (g/ml) of material-liquid ratio and 0.4% SH. The extraction rate of flavonoids achieved up to 0.88% (m/m) under this optimal condition.

Key words: pomegranate seed, flavonoid, chelator, optimization
