[Optimization of flash-type extraction technology of alisol B 23-acetate from Alismatis Rhizoma by response surface...

Response surface methodology was used to optimize and obtain the optimal flash-type extraction technology of alisol B 23-acetate from Alismatis Rhizoma. With the extraction rate of alisol B 23-acetate as an indicator, single-factor test was used to investigate the effect of ethanol volume fraction, liquid-solid ratio, extraction times and extracting time on the extraction rate of alisol B 23-acetate.The results were combined with Box-Benhnken design and response surface analysis to optimize the technology parameters for extraction process of Alismatis Rhizoma and obtain the optimal flash-type extraction technology under the following conditions： ethanol volume fraction 80%, liquid-solid ratio 12∶1, extraction 4 times, 114 s/time. Flash-type extraction technology of alisol B 23-acetate by response surface methodology is stable, time-saving, efficient, and with the advantages of room temperature extraction and no component damage, so it can be used for massive production.
