Optimization of extraction process for terpenoids in Taraxaci Herba by response surface methodology
Terpenoids in Taraxaci herba have good anti-tumor activity,but there are few reports on its extraction process research.This paper conducts a study on the extraction process of terpenoids from Taraxaci herba using enzymatic hydrolysis,the content of terpenoids was used as an evaluation index.The extraction process conditions were optimized through single factor experiments and Box Behnken response surface methodology.The results showed that when the enzymatic hydrolysis pH was 5.03,the ethanol con-centration was 73.79%,and the ultrasound time was 65.13 minutes,the content of terpenoids in dandelion could reach 4.71%.The optimized extraction process of terpenoids from Taraxaci herba in this paper is stable and reliable,which can provide reference for its biological activity research and resource development.
