ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize extraction process of walnut quinone from Juglans green peel. Methods On the basis of single factor tests, taking material-liquid ratio, extracting temperature and ethanol concentration as independent variables, yield of walnut quinone in response to as a value, according to Box-Behnken experiment design principle, extraction process of walnut quinone from Juglans green peel was optimized by response surface analysis. Results The optimum extraction process of walnut quinone was: 14.30 times the amount of 89.81% ethanol;30.28 ℃ constant temperature. The extracting amount of walnut quinone was 2.034 mg/g, which was close to the experimental results of 1.957 mg/g. Conclusion The optimized extraction process is reasonable and feasible, which can provide reference for the extraction of walnut quinone from Juglans green peel.
