This study used Box-Behnken Design （BBD）, a widely used form of response surface methodology （RSM）, to optimize the conditions of the ultrasound-assisted extraction （UAE） for the extraction of phenolic compounds from CimicifugaeRhizome. The influence of three independent variables, including ethanol concentration （%）, extraction time （min） and solvent-to-material ratio （mL/g）, on the extraction yields of phenolic compounds were examined. The results demonstrated that the optimal ultrasound-assisted extraction （UAE） conditions were as follows： ethanol concentration of 68%, an extraction time of 19 min, and solvent-to-material ratio of 30 mL/g for the extraction of caffeic acid, cimicifugoside, ferulic acid, isoferulicacid, cimifugin, 4′-O-β-glucopyranosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol. These results demonstrated the suitability of UAE for the extraction of phenolic compounds from CimicifugaeRhizome.展开更多

To optimize the conditions, we investigated the effects of parameters on the ultrasound assisted extraction（UAE） with the Box-Behnken Design（BBD）, one widely used form of Response Surface Methodology（RSM）. In all tested solvents, ethanol was the most effective for celastrol extraction, followed by methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water. A second order polynomial model was fitted well to the extraction experimental data with R2 of 0.9928. Extraction yield of 3.116 mg/g was obtained for celastrol under the optimized extraction conditions of extraction time（20 min）, extraction temperature（46 °C）, ultrasonic power（60 W） and S/S ratio（30 m L/g）. Experimental validation was performed, and the experimental values agreed well with the predicted values. The results indicated that the UAE was good extraction material for celastrol from C. monospermus Roxb.展开更多
