Study on the Extraction of Pteridium aquilinum var.latiusculum Flavonoid and Its Stability
[ Objective ] To extract and purify flavonoid from Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum, and to study its stability. [ Method ] Extracted with 70% alcohol,content of flavonoid from Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum was determined by UV spectrophotometry. Effect of temperature,illumination,pH value,stabilizing agent,carbohydrate and metal ions on the stability of flavonoid were investigated. [ Result ] The content of flavanoid in root of P. aquilinum var. latiusculum reached as high as 4. 264 0%. Except for carbohydrate and pH value in 4 -6,effects of other factors like natural light,highlight,reducing agent and Mg2+ ,Al3+ and Fe3+ on the stability of flavonoids from Pteridium aquilinum var. latitsculum were distinct. [ Conclusion ] This study provides theoretical evidence for the further application of Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum.
