Title: Analysis of Influence Factors on Extraction Rate of Lutein from Marigold and Optimization of Saponification Conditions
Abstract:After lutein esters extracted by ultrasonic-assisted organic solvent from marigold powder, saponification conditions such as saponification solution concentration, saponification lipuid dosage, saponi...After lutein esters extracted by ultrasonic-assisted organic solvent from marigold powder, saponification conditions such as saponification solution concentration, saponification lipuid dosage, saponification temperature and saponification time were optimized by response surface analysis. The results showed that the optimal saponification conditions are saponification solution concentration 10%, saponification lipuid dosage 200 mL, saponification temperature 50°C, saponification time 2h. Under the optimal condition, the content of lutein is the highest with nalue of 15.64%.Read More
