Abstract
Enzyme-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (EA-ATPE) using ethanol/ammonium sulfate system was investigated for total polyphenol (TP) and lutein from marigold flowers. The important factors were investigated by single factor experiment and response surface methodology combined with Box-Behnken design to optimize the operating parameters of EA-ATPE. The maximum yields of TP and lutein were 83.56 ± 0.69 mg g-1 and 5.59 ± 0.13 mg g-1, respectively. Compared with aqueous two-phase extraction and Soxhlet extraction (SE), the extraction yield of TP by EA-ATPE is 64.91% higher and the extract of EA-ATPE has better antioxidant activity. The pretreatment effect was also researched by scanning electron microscopy. Thus, EA-ATPE is an efficient method for extracting bioactive components from plants.
