The Optimization Process of Formula for Solanum melongena Peels
Using the phenolic compounds of Solanum melongena peel extract(SMPE)as a basis,the optimal formula and process for producing eggplant skin tablets were determined through single-factor experiments combined with Box-Behnken response surface design experiments.Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)was used to determine the content of phenolic compounds in purple-black and purple-red SMPE,and the optimal raw materials were screened.Then,Box-Behnken response surface design experiments were subsequently conducted to investigate the ef-fects of SMPE,mannitol,xylitol,and citric acid on the comprehensive sensory score,and the optimal compound technology was determined.The results revealed that the total polyphenol content of purple-black eggplant peel was 52.7 mg/g,which was higher than that of purple-red eggplant peel(37.4 mg/g);thus,so purple-black eggplant peel was selected as the extraction raw material.The optimized compound technology for eggplant peel tablets was SMPE 30%,xylitol 16%,mannitol 12%,and citric acid 2.5%,and the comprehensive sensory score was 92.7,which was consistent with the theoretical prediction value of the model(RSD=0.200% ).The optimized eggplant peel tablets had a suitable flavor and taste,ensuring the application of eggplant peel tablets in assisting blood glucose reduction.
