산수유의 추출조건별 추출물의 최적 추출조건을 설정하기 위해 중심합성법에 따라 마이크로웨이브에너지(30, 60, 90, 120 및 150 watt), 에탄올 농도(0, 25, 50, 75 및 100%), 추출시간별(1, 3, 5, 7 및 9분)로 추출조건에 따라 생리활성을 측정하였다. 이때 반응표면의 회귀식 $R^2$값이 전자공여작용, tyrosinase 저해효과, SOD 유사활성, 총 폴리페놀 함량에서 각각 0.8937, 0.9254, 0.9552와 0.9708로 분석되었다. 4차원 반응표면분석에 의해 superimposing 하여 최적 추출조건을 얻은 범위는 산수유의 경우 마이크로웨이브 에너지 78~98 watt, 에탄올 농도 3~33%, 추출시간 3.6~9분으로 예측되었다.
Response surface methodology was used to monitor the characteristics of Corni fructus. A maximum electron donating ability of 81.27% was obtained at 119.71 W of microwave power, 7.71% of ethanol concentration, and 4.21 min of extraction time. The maximum inhibitory effect on tyrosinase was 105.92% at 143.36 W of microwave power, 58.19% ethanol concentration, and 6.71 min of extraction time. The maximum superoxide dismutase like activity was 87.08% under the extraction conditions of 107.33 W of microwave power, 96.14% ethanol concentration, and 31.49 min of extraction time. The total polyphenol content showed a maximum of 475.86 mg% at 140.29 W of microwave power, 27.44% ethanol concentration, and 58.69 min of extraction time. Based on the superimposition of four-dimensional RSM data regarding the electron-donating ability, inhibitory effect on tyrosinase, superoxide dismutase like activity, and total polyphenol content, the optimum ranges of extraction conditions were found to be at 78~98 W of microwave power, 3~33% ethanol concentration, and 3.6~9 min of extraction time.
