Using anthocyanin yield as an evaluation index,we optimized the microwave-assisted extraction process of anthocyanin from purple sweet potato(PSP)with phosphoric acid aqueous solution by a single-factor experiment and response surface methodology.The optimal extraction conditions were as follows:the micro-wave power of 400 W,the phosphoric acid concentration of 1.2%,the liquid-solid ratio of 15:1(mL:g),and the microwave irradiation time of 4 min.Under above conditions,the anthocyanin yield was 51.21 mg·(100 g)-1,and the relative error between ...
