Abstract

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to monitor extraction characteristics of extracts from Sarcodon aspratus. Based on a central composite design, independent variables were microwave power (30∼150 W), ethanol concentration (0∼100%), and extraction time (1∼9 min). Dependent variables were yield, electron-donating ability, total phenol contents, and SOD-like activity. Coefficients of determination (R 2 ) for dependent variables ranged from 0.80 at 0.97. The maximum extraction yield was 50.28% under conditions of 125.1 W microwave power, 18.67% ethanolic concentration, and 7.06 min extraction time. The maximum extraction electron-donating ability was 22.14% under conditions of 31.09 W, 45.76%, and 4.32 min. The maximum extraction total polyphenol content was 30.54 mg tannic acid equivalent/g at 122.54 W, 48.05%, and 8.36 min. The maximum extraction SOD-like activity was 33.44% at 121.17 W, 47.42%, and 8.41 min. Based on superimposition of four dimensional RSM with respect to extraction yield, electron-donating ability, total polyphenol content, and SOD-like activity obtained under various extraction conditions, optimum ranges of extraction conditions were found to be microwave power of 78∼88 W, ethanol concentration of 39∼57%, and extraction time of 3.5∼9 min.
