Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process of naringin and neohesperidin from huyou fruitlet.
METHODS Based on the single factor experiment, Box-Benhnken three factors (ethanol concentration, solid-liquid ratio and extraction time) experiment by response surface design was carried out.
RESULTS The optimum conditions was as follows:solid to liquid ratio 1:10, 60% ethanol, extraction time 1.8 h and extraction two times. Under these conditions, the total yield of naringin and neohesperidin from huyou fruitlet was 23.44%.
CONCLUSION The method is simple, reasonable, feasible and provide a experiment basis for its industrial production.
