Abstract
Ultrasonic technology was applied for polysaccharide extraction from the leaves of Dodonaea viscosa and response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the effects of processing parameters on polysaccharide extraction yield. Three independent variables were extraction time (X1), extraction temperature (X2) and ultrasonic power (X3), respectively. The statistical analysis indicated the independent variables (X1, X2, X3), the quadratic terms (X11 and X33) and the interaction terms (X1X2, X1X3, X2X3) had significant effects on the yield of polysaccharides (P<0.05). The optimal extraction conditions of D. viscosa leaf were determined as follows: extraction time 50.54min, extraction temperature 85°C and ultrasonic power 400W. Under these conditions, the experimental yield of polysaccharides was 9.455±0.24%, which was agreed closely with the predicted value (9.398%). The evaluation of anti-oxidant activity suggested that the polysaccharide exhibited significant protection against DPPH and hydroxyl radicals and could be explored as a nutraceutical agent.
