Abstract:
The method ofhomogenated extraction was used to extract oligomeric proanthocyanidins from larch bark, using yield and purity of oligomeric proanthocyanidins as index. Based on single-factor experiment, Box-Behnken experiment design was applied to optimize the extraction process. The optimized conditions were obtained as follows:70% ethyl alcohol as solvent, ratio of solid to liquid 1:15,homogenation time 15min and extraction 4 times. Under these conditions, the yield and purity of oligomeric proanthocyanidins from larch bark were 17.33% and 75.46%, respectively.
