Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo choose the optimum extraction process of polysaccharide constituents from Panax japonicus.
METHODThe optimal compound enzyme extraction process is selected with the orthogonal design. The yield of polysaccharide was used to evaluate the factor levels, so as to determine the condition of the optimum extraction process.
RESULTThe conditions of the ideal extraction process using compound enzyme method were that of the pH value was at 5.0, the extraction temperature was at 50 degrees C, solvent volume was 50 times of material, cellulase quality score was 1.2%, pectinex quality score was 1.0% and the extraction time was 2 hours. At the last, the vitalitive enzyme was deactivated in the 90 degrees C water for 2 hours. Under these conditions, the yield of polysaccharide extract from P. japonicus was up to 14.3%.
CONCLUSIONThe yield of polysaccharide extracted from P. japonicus can be effectively increased by using compound enzyme extraction process.
