Abstract

Microwave-assisted process (MAP) was applied to extract antioxidant-related components from Thymus quinquecostatus var. japonica Hara. Microwave power(2,450 MHz, $0{\sim}160$ W) and extraction time($1{\sim}5\;min$) were used as independent variables($X_i$) for central composite design to yield 10 different extraction conditions. Response surface methodology was applied to predict optimum extraction conditions for dependent variables of extracts, such as total yield, total phenolics, flavonoid, and electron donation ability depending on different powers and extraction times of MAP. Determination coefficients($R^2$) of regression equations for dependent variables were higher than 0.93 excluding that of total phenolics, and microwave power was predicted more influential than extraction time in MAP (p<0.05). The optimal extraction time for each dependent variable was ranged from 3.36 to 4.97 min, but microwave power showed wide ranges depending on variables. The superimposed contour maps for maximized dependent variables illustrated extraction conditions of 64 to 100 W in microwave power and 2.9 to 4.0 min in extraction time.

섬백리향의 항산화 기능성 성분에 대한 마이크로웨이브 추출특성을 확인하고자 microwave power($0{\sim}160\;W$)와 추출시간($1{\sim}5$분)을 독립변수($X_i$)로 하여 중심합성계획에 의해 10개구간의 추출조건을 설계하였다. 또한 추출물의 기능성분인 총 추출수율, 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량 및 전자공여능을 종속변수($Y_n$)로 하여 반응표면분석을 실시하여 최적 추출조건을 예측하였다. 도출된 회귀식의 $R^2$는 총 페놀성분을 제외하고는 모두 0.93 이상을 나타내었으며, microwave power는 추출시간보다 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 종속변수들의 최적 추출시간은 $3.36{\sim}4.97$분이었으나 microwave power는 넓은 분포를 보였으며, 기능성 성분들 모두를 추출하기 위한 추출조건 범위는microwave power $64{\sim}100\;W$, 추출시간 $2.9{\sim}4.0$분으로 나타났다.
