Optimization of Extraction Program of Sea Buckthorn Seeds Proanthocyanidins by Combining Uniform Design and Microsoft Excel

Abstract

Abstract: A novel optimization method based on uniform design and function LINEST of Microsoft Excel was proposed to explore the extraction of proanthocyanidins from sea buckthorn seeds. The proposed multiple regression equation was calculated with the function LINEST. This method was not only a flexible method, but also could avoid high expenditure and fixed algorithm while using other professional software for data processing. The validation experiments showed that the extraction rate of proanthocyanidins from sea buckthorn seeds revealed an increase by 16.43%. This method is easy to extend and may hold promise for other scientific applications.

Key words: optimization, uniform design, LINEST, regression equation, proanthocyanidins
