Optimization of Extraction Process for Walnut Quinone from Juglans Green Peel by Box-Behnken Response Surface / 中国中医药信息杂志

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.
