Optimization of ultrasonic extraction process for berberine and catalpa alcohol in Qianjin Huanglian pills by response surface method
Objective To optimize the ultrasonic extraction process of berberine and catalpa alcohol in Qianjin Huanglian pills.Methods The effects of ultrasonic time,ultrasonic temperature,ultrasonic power and solid-liquid ratio on the contents of berberine and catalpa alcohol in Qianjin Huanglian pills were investigated by single factor experiments,and the ultrasonic extraction process of berberine and catalpa alcohol in Qianjin Huanglian pills was optimized by response surface method on the basis of single factor experiments,and the comprehensive scores of berberine and catalpa alcohol content calculated by entropy weight method were used as evaluation indexes,and the response surface method was used to optimize the ultrasonic extraction process of berberine and catalpa alcohol in Qianjin Huanglian pills.Results The optimal process parameters were as follows:solid-liquid ratio of 1:30(g:mL),ultrasonic time of 50min,ultrasonic temperature of 27℃,ultrasonic power of 67%(167.5W,maximum power 250W).Under these conditions,the berberine content was 4.15,the catalpa alcohol content was 0.593,and the comprehensive score was 2.34.Conclusion The response surface method is convenient,time-saving,reproducible and reliable,which provides evidence for the further development and utilization of Qianjin Huanglian pills.
