Millsp.] Roots %D 2012 %R 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2012.06.021 %J Bulletin of Botanical Research %P 756-759 %V 32 %N 6 %X Based on the preliminary experiments, a three-variable, three-level Box-Behnken design was performed to study microwave-assisted extraction of genistein from the roots of pigeon pea. The optimum parameters were as follows: extraction temperature 68 ℃, liquid/solid ratio 32∶1 mL·g-1, ethanol concentration 78%, extraction power 700 W and extraction time 15 min. Under the optimal conditions, the average extraction yield of genistein was 0.465±0.032 mg·g-1. This study is significant for the application of microwave extraction technology and utilization of the pigeon pea root. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2012.06.021
