[Study on the extraction of the active component in Atractylode macrocephala with ultrasonic wave technology optimized by the response surface method].
OBJECTIVE
To create Atractylode macrocephala inspissation decoction pieces. The effect of ultrasonic wave on extraction of the active components in A. macrocephala was studied in a water solution.


METHODS
The factors including the ratio of material to liquid, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, soaking time, particle size etc, were studied. The best extraction method was found through the response surface method.


RESULTS
The best extraction method was found as follows: the granularity of material 0.1 mm, the repetition times of ultrasonic process 3 times, the soaking time before the ultrasonic process 30 min, the ratio of liquid to material 10:1, the soaking time after the ultrasonic process 2.6 h, the time of the ultrasonic wave 15.5 min, the power of the ultrasonic wave 531 W, the rate of reservation of active components 88.5%, the rate of inspissation 1.6.


CONCLUSIONS
The ultrasonic wave can used in the extraction of the active components in A. macrocephala and a model equation that can be used to predict the experiment was get through the response surface method.
