Food and Machinery

In order to optimize the extraction process of alkaloids from areca catechu, the alkaloids was extracted by varied extraction solvent systems from areca catechu shell and the optimal extraction solvent was explored. According to the theoretical formula of multistage cross flow extraction, solid to liquid ratio and extractive grades was designed. Based on the results of single-factor test, the effect of extraction temperature, extraction time, pH value on extraction rate were conducted by orthogonal test of interaction. The result showed that the extraction rate of alkaloids was 7.241 7 mg/g under the optimal conditions: taking water as the solvent, solid …
