Abstract

The extraction conditions of red pigments under reduced pressure from jujube peel were investigated and further optimized.The effects of the solvent concentration,liquid/solid ratio,extraction time,and extraction temperature and extraction pressure on the pigments' yield were investigated by Single-Factor experiment.The results showed that the conditions for maximum pigment yields per gram jujube peel were : 40ml aqueous solvent with 1.6% alkaline in 90℃ water bath for 50 minutes assisted by reduced pressure at 0.005 MPa.The comparison among reduced pressure,ordinary pressure and ultrasonic-assisted extraction showed that extraction under reduced pressure gained the highest color value of 21.70.
