METHOD FOR ENHANCING HESPERITIN CONTENT IN CITRUS PERICARP USING ENZYME

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for extracting hesperitin by treating Citrus pericarp with enzyme is provided to enhance the content of hesperitin.;CONSTITUTION: A method for extracting large amount of hesperidin comprises: a step of pulverizing Citrus pericarp with solvent before enzyme treatment; and a step of treating the Citrus pericarp with enzyme. The extraction solvent is ethanol or ethylacetate. The component of hesperitin in the Citrus pericarp is confirmed through HPLC(high performance liquid chromatography).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2010
