Optimization of Extraction Process of Soluble Dietary Fiber from Artichoke Dietary Fiber

To study the extraction rate of soluble dietary fiber (soluble dietary fiber, SDF) contained in the artichoke after ultrafine crushing and high pressure homogenization composite modification, single factor experiment was conducted to investigate the homogenization temperature, homogenization pressure and material concentration on artichoke SDF yield. The response surface method was used to optimize the artichoke SDF extraction process with three factors and three levels. The model between artichoke SDF extraction conditions and yield was established and analyzed to obtain the optimal process parameters and improve the artichoke SDF yield. The results showed that after ultrafine crushing and high pressure homogenization compound modification, the yield of artichoke SDF was significantly affected by the compound modification. The best process for extracting artichoke SDF was a homogenization temperature of 41 ℃ and a homo-genization pressure of 97 MPa, material concentration 2.5%. The theoretical maximum yield of artichoke SDF was 20.70%. With this process, the average yield of artichoke SDF was 20.13%. The Fourier infrared spectroscopy showed that the chemical composition of artichoke dietary fiber had not changed after compound modification.
