Abstract:

Puerarin was extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis with microbe and cellulase from waste pueraria. High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine puerarin content for exploring the effects of enzymatic hydrolysis time, enzyme addition amount, pH and material-liquid ratio as well as cross-interaction on extraction rate of puerarin. Results indicated that pueraria amount of 5 g, cellulose concentration of 40% compared with pueraria weight, pueraria-water ratio of 1:10, enzymatic hydrolysis pH of 5, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature of 30 ℃, enzymatic hydrolysis time of 36 h and ethanol extraction time of 3 h. Under the optimal enzymatic hydrolysis and extraction conditions, the yield of puerarin was up to 33.54 mg. These investigations will provide a theoretical reference for the exploration and utilization of pueraria.
