This work aims to investigate the differences in the content and antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds from various parts of mature Citrus aurantium L.fruits.Base on signal-factor experiment,the extraction yield of phenolic compounds is used as response value to establish a regression model with four factors.Phenolic compounds from various parts of fruit are extracted for content measurement.Their compositions are detected by HPLC-MS method,and then DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging capacities and FRAP total antioxidant capacity are evaluated.The op timized parameters forextracting phenolic compounds from Citrus aurantium L.pulp are confirmed as follows:material to liquid is 1 ∶ 16 (g ∶ mL),ethanol concentration is 46%,pH value is 2.5,and extraction temperature is 39 ℃.Under such conditions,the extraction yield of phenolic compounds reached to 0.45%.The phenolic compounds of the fruit mainly existed as free,the contents of free polyphenols in various parts are ordered as pulp > peel > seed,and the contents of free flavonoids are ordered as peel > seed > pulp.The antioxidant abilities of different parts,including DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging capacities and FRAP total antioxidant capacity,could all be ordered as pulp > peel > seed.
