Abstract:
Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for optimizating the extracting conditions of protein from Sophora japonica L. in the process of aqueose two-phase systems, and the nutritional value was evaluated. The different influencing factor were studied as PEG/ (NH4) 2SO4massfraction, pH, temperature, the nutritional evaluation was used by automatic amino acid analyzer. The results showed that the optimizating extracting conditions were 28% PEG4000, 45% (NH4) 2SO4, pH5, temperature 50℃. All of the protein from Sophora japonica L. samples contained all kinds of essential amino acids in a balanced proportion, which was close to the recommended level by WHO/FAO. The development and utilization of it should be done for its higher nutritional value.
