Abstract:
Response surface methodology( RSM) was used to optimize the ultrasonic extraction conditions of lavonoids from Exochorda racemosa based on the Box- Behnken design. The factors of microwave power,time,solid to liquid ratio,microwave temperature were analyzed and vitro antioxidant activity were measured.The results showed that microwave power,time and temperature had significant effect on flavonoids yield. The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: microwave power 357 W,extraction time 63 min,ratio of solid to liquid 1∶26 g / m L,microwave temperature 47 ℃. Under the optimized conditions,the yield of flavonoids was 14.59 mg / g,compared with predictive yield which was 14.67 mg / g,the relative error was 0.5%.The value of IC50 of DPPH·,·OH,and O
2-·were 0.52,0.55,1.18 mg / m L. The scavenging effect of DPPH·,·OH was higher than BHT,but lower than VC.The scavenging effcct of O
2-· were all lower than VCand BHT.Conclusion: the yield of flavonoids was higher by the methods of microwave extraction and the flavonoids in Exochorda racemosa had got certain ability to antioxidant evaluation.
