An orthogonal array design was applied to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of color pigments from chili powder.Microwave showed a significant synergistic effect on the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of chili pigments.The optimum conditions for ultrasonic/microwave-assisted of chili pigments were found to be ethyl acetate as the extraction solvent,50 ℃,1:8(g/mL) of solid-to-solvent ratio,30 min of ultrasonic treatment with an output power of 190 W followed by 10 min of microwave treatment with an output power of 500 W.Und...
