Abstract
Background
Illicium verum is widely cultivated in southern
China especially in Guangxi province. Its fruits has been traditionally used in
Chinese medicine. In recent years, it has been the industrial source of shikimic
acid. Usually the residues after extracting shikimic acid are treated as waste.
Thus, the aim of this study was to optimize the extraction conditions of
cellulase-ultrasonic assisted extraction technology for flavonoids from I. verum residues.
Results
The optimum extraction conditions with a maximum flavonoids yield of
14.76 % are as follows: the concentration of ethanol is 51.14 %, the liquid–solid
ratio is 20.52 mL/g, the enzymatic hydrolysis pH is 5.303, the sonication time is
60 min, the enzyme solution temperature is kept at 45 °C, the amount of added
enzyme is 70 mg/g, the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 2 h and the crushed mesh size
is 0.355–0.85 mm.
Conclusions
The data indicate that the cellulase-ultrasonic assisted extraction
technology has the potential be used for the industrial production of flavonoids
from I. verum.
