Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions, including extraction time, extraction temperature, and ethanol concentration, were optimized to increase the total flavonoid content (TFC), tyrosinase inhibitory activity (TIA), and collagenase inhibitory activity (CIA) of Spirulina platensis through central composite design (CCD). For the optimization of the three dependent variables, a quadratic regression model was derived from 17 experimental sets for the simultaneous maximization of TFC, TIA, and CIA. The predicted optimal UAE conditions were 44.0 min of extraction time, 82.8℃ of extraction temperature, and 96.0% of ethanol concentration. Under these conditions, 0.93 mg QE/g DM of TFC, 81.9% of CIA, and 92.1% of TIA were predicted. The CCD-based UAE optimization enabled an increase in TFC, CIA, and TIA, thereby confirming that the S. platensis extract can be used in the development of a cosmetic material with skin whitening and anti-wrinkle effects.

To determine the characteristics of propolis fermented with microorganisms, the optimal conditions for propolis extraction with ethanol were first reviewed, and the physicochemical properties of the extracted propolis were then investigated. The shaking and stationary extraction methods were tested. The flavonoid content was 6.40 mg/g when the stationary extraction method was used and 6.95 mg/g when the shaking extraction method was used. The ethanol concentration was then varied, and the use of 50, 60, 70, and 80% ethanol resulted in the total flavonoid content in the propolis samples reaching 6.75, 8.45, 7.45, and 7.75 mg/g, respectively. This indicated that a 60% (v/v) concentration was optimal. As the extraction time was increased from 1 to 3 hr, the flavonoid content slightly increased; however, extending the extraction step to more than 3 hr did not significantly affect the flavonoid content. In terms of the extraction temperature, the highest concentration of flavonoids (8.63 mg/g) was detected at 50℃. In the propolis samples, 5.80, 2.61, and 1.32 mg/g of fructose, sucrose, and rhamnose were detected, respectively. As for the amino acid content, 17 amino acids, including glutamic acid, were detected, and the total amino acid content was 2.49 mg/g.

In order to effectively utilize fish(Cod, Gadus macrocephalus) bone obtained as fish waste in fish manufactory, the preparation of the fish bone gelatin were attempted by heat extracting method from collagen protein contained in the fish bone. The methods of two kinds pretreatments (the B-type by alkali pretreatment and the E-type by enzyme pretreatment) for fish bone and the optimal extraction conditions to prepare gelatin from pretreated fish bone were investigated. Physical properties and functionalities of the two type fish bone gelatins obtained were compared with the commercial gelatin and the fish skin gelatin. The optimal extraction conditions of the B-type and the E-type gelatins were 5 folds of added water with material(w/w), pH 5.0, 3 hrs of extraction time and 60$\circ$C of extraction temperature. The yield of the B-type and the E-type gelatins were 32.6% and 28.1 %, respectively. The B-type gelatin was superior to the E-type un all physical properties. Molecular weight of the B-type was larger than that of the E-type due to its pretreatment method. Among the composition of amino acids, the amino acids such as glycine, alanine, glutamic acid and imino acids(proline and hydroxyproline) were responsible for 68$\sim$70% of the total amino acids. Functionalities of the fish bone gelatin were almost similar to commercial gelatin.

Optimal conditions for the supercritical carbon dioxide $(scCO_{2})$ extraction of glycyr­rhizin from licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) were investigated, with an emphasis on the types and levels of modifiers. The morphology of the licorice tissue remaining after the $scCO_{2} $ extraction of glycyrrhizin was examined by scanning electron microscopy, coupled with measurements of ab­solute density. Conventional organic solvent extraction was also carried out for purpose of quantitative comparison. At 50 MPa and $60^{circ}C$ glycyrrhizin could not be extracted with pure $scCO_{2}$, while a considerable amount of glycyrrhizin was extracted when water was added to $scCO_{2}$ as a modifier. The highest recovery was found to be about $97\%$ when $70\%$ aqueous methanol was added to $scCO_{2}$ at a concentration of $15\%$. The optimal pressure and temperature for the supercritical fluid extraction of glycyrrhizin were observed to be 30 M Pa and $60^{circ}C$, respectively. Under these conditions, the percentage recovery of glycyrrhizin attained a maximum value of 102.67\pm$ $1.13\%$ within 60 min. Furthermore, in the case of $scCO_{2}$ modified with $70\%$ aqueous methanol, the licorice tissue obtained after extraction was found to be severely de­graded by excessive swelling, and the absolute density of the licorice residues was observed to be the highest.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum conditions of solvent extraction type and solvent concentration (60, 70, 80%, v/v), extraction time (30, 80, 130 mins) and extraction temperature (10, 15, $20^{\circ}C$) in order to increase the antioxidant activity of the chia seed. The total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity was measured by using response surface methodology (RSM) to establish the optimal conditions. Using ethanol and methanol extractions at extraction concentrations of 60%, and time and temperature of 130 mins and $20^{\circ}C$, the maximum total polyphenol content was 871.00 mg% ($R^2=0.9507$) and 557.70 mg% ($R^2=0.9784$) for ethanol and methanol extraction respectively. Using the same extraction conditions, the maximum level of DPPH radical scavenging activity was 72.14% ($R^2=0.9675$) and 52.79% ($R^2=0.9524$) for ethanol and methanol extraction respectively. The results indicate that ethanol extracts showed a higher antioxidant activity than methanol extracts. The ethanol extraction conditions of response surface analysis (RSA) were affected more by ethanol concentration than by extraction time or temperature. In contrast, the methanol extraction conditions of response surface analysis (RSA) were affected more by extraction time. Based on the RSM, the optimum ethanol extraction conditions were the following: extraction concentration, 63%: time, 100 mins: and temperature, $18^{\circ}C$. The optimum methanol extraction conditions were the following: extraction concentration, 65%; time, 120 mins; and temperature, $16^{\circ}C$.

The study was designed to determine optimum extraction conditions, by the factorial design of 3 variables and 3 levels using an a RSM program. To determine the optimal conditions for the extraction of black tea with chamomile, the experimental design was applied. The independent factors were the extraction temperature ($60^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$), extraction time (2 min, 4 min, 6 min), and chamomile addition (0.3%, 1.0%, 1.7%). By the RSM (response surface methodology) analysis of the black tea with chamomile extraction, we found that the extraction temperature greatly affected the extraction yield, brix, pH, and reducing sugar, caffeine, theobromine and theophillin contents. The optimum extraction time, temperature, and chamomile content were 4 min, $90^{\circ}C$, and $1.6{\sim}1.7%$, respectively.

Paeonia lactiflora roots (PLR) are a traditional medicinal plant used to treat inflammatory diseases. Recently, PLR has been reported to increase the secretion of immune regulatory factors and enhance phagocytic activity in macrophages. Therefore, in this study, we compared the macrophage activation induced by PLR under different extraction conditions. PLR extracts at temperatures ranging from 4℃ to 60℃ increased the secretion of immune regulatory factors, but the secretion slightly decreased at 80℃. Under time-based extraction conditions at 60℃, immune regulatory factor secretion by PLR extracts was similar from 1 to 24 hours. Therefore, considering the overall results of this study, extracting PLR at 60℃ for 1 hour is considered the optimal condition for macrophage activation.

In this study, functional substances with antibacterial properties were extracted from the needles of Abies holophylla and Pinus koraiensis, and optimized using the central composite design-response surface methodology (CCD-RSM). The optimal extraction conditions for Abies holophylla were an extraction temperature of 59.5 ℃ and an ethanol/ultrapure water volume ratio of 69.5 vol.%, resulting in an extraction yield of 13.5% and inhibition diameters of 11.6 mm against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and 9.3 mm against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). For Pinus koraiensis, the optimal extraction conditions were an extraction temperature of 59.2 ℃ and an ethanol/ultrapure water volume ratio of 67.8 vol.%, resulting in an extraction yield of 4.8% and inhibition diameters of 7.9 mm against E. coli and 12.5 mm against S. aureus. The actual experimental results under these optimal conditions showed that an extraction yield from Abies holophylla needles was 13.0% and an inhibition diameter of 11.7 mm against E. coli and 9.2 mm against S. aureus, indicating an error rate of approximately ± 2.3%. For Pinus koraiensis needles, the extraction yield was 5.1%, with inhibition diameters of 7.5 mm against E. coli and 12.3 mm against S. aureus, indicating an error rate of ± 4.23%.

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.

Objective: The present study was to investigate the extraction conditions of dietary fiber from dried cassava pulp (DCP) and cassava distiller's dried grains (CDG) under different NaOH concentrations, and the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to determine the dietary fiber components. Methods: The dried samples (DCP and CDG) were treated with various concentrations of NaOH at levels of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% using a completely randomized design with 4 replications of each. After extraction, the residual DCP and CDG dietary fiber were dried in a hot air oven at 55℃ to 60℃. Finally, the oven dried extracted dietary fiber was powdered to a particle size of 1 mm. Both extracted dietary fibers were analyzed for their chemical composition and determined by FTIR. Results: The DCP and CDG treated with NaOH linearly or quadratically or cubically (p<0.05) increased the total dietary fiber (TDF) and insoluble fiber (IDF). The optimal conditions for extracting dietary fiber from DCP and CDG were under treatment with 6% and 4% NaOH, respectively, as these conditions yielded the highest TDF and IDF contents. These results were associated with the FTIR spectra integration for a semi-quantitative analysis, which obtained the highest cellulose content in dietary fiber extracted from DCP and CDG with 6% and 4% NaOH solution, respectively. The principal component analysis illustrated clear separation of spectral distribution in cassava pulp extracted dietary fiber (DFCP) and cassava distiller's dried grains extracted dietary fiber (DFCDG) when treated with 6% and 4% NaOH, respectively. Conclusion: The optimal conditions for the extraction of dietary fiber from DCP and CDG were treatment with 6% and 4% NaOH solution, respectively. In addition, FTIR spectroscopy proved itself to be a powerful tool for fiber identification.
