Abstract :
To investigate the optimum extraction conditions of polysaccharides from Sterculia lychnophora using microwave technology, experiment factors and levels were firstly selected by single factor experiments, then the optimum extraction conditions were obtained through Box-Benhnken center-united experiment design and Response Surface Methodology. The optimum extraction conditions for Sterculia lychnophora polysaccharides were as follows: microwave power, 721W; solid to-liquid ratio, 1:27.4; and extracting time, 4.23min. The rate of extraction reached up to 8.219% under these conditions.
