ABSTRACT
Objective:To optimize the clarification process of total flavonoids extract from Geum aleppicum with ZTC1+1-Ⅱtype clarifying agent. Methods:With the solid removal rate, retention rate of the total flavonoids and clearance rate of protein as the indi-ces, single factor tests were adopted to study the effects of extract concentration, amount of clarifying agent, reaction temperature and reaction time on the clarification results. Results:The optimal clarification process was as follows:the extract concentration was 0. 5 g ·ml-1 , the amount of clarifying agent was 4% component B and 2% component A, the reaction temperature was at 60℃, and the soaking time was 60 min. The retention rate of total flavonoids was 91. 32%, the clearance rate of protein was 35. 82%, and the solid removal rate was 8. 1%. Conclusion:ZTC1+1-Ⅱ type clarifying agent has good effect on the clarification of total flavonoids extract from Geum aleppicum with promising feasibility and stability.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze and optimize the extraction technology of Geum aleppicum by Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology. Methods:With the content of total flavonoids as the index, the effects of three factors including the solvent-solid ratio, ethanol concentration and extraction time on the content of total flavonoids were studied by single factor experiment, and the ex-traction technology was optimized by Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology. Results: The optimal extraction condi-tions of Geum aleppicum were as follows:the solvent-solid ratio was 4. 2, the ethanol concentration was 50% and the extraction time was 80 min. Under the above conditions, the average yield was 12. 590 0 mg·g-1 . Conclusion: Optimizing extraction technology of the total flavonoids in Geum aleppicum by Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology is reasonable, and the mathematical mod-el is consistent with the experimental data, which has good predictability.
