Study on Ultrasonic Extraction of Anthocyanins from Blueberry Fruit
Objective:To study the method of extraction of anthocyanins from blueberry by ultrasonic extraction.Methods:Taking the ratio of methanol solvent,the ratio of added hydrochloric acid,the time of extraction and liquid to feed ratio as indexes,L9 (34) orthogonal test was adopted to investigate the extraction of blueberry anthocyanins.The total content of anthocyanins was determined by HPLC.Results:The order of the influencing factors of ultrasonic extraction of anthocyanins from high to low was as follows:the content of hydrochloric acid,the ratio of methanol and the extraction time and liquid to feed ratio.Optimal ultrasonic extraction conditions were as follow:80% methanol-water as solvent which contained 0.2% hydrochloric acid,liquid to feed ratio was 25∶1 (mL∶g),50 min per time.Conclusion:The developed extraction process was stable and feasible,the content of anthocyanins in blueberry fruit was 5.12 mg ·g-1.
