Supercritical CO
2 extraction of antioxidants from
Spirulina platensis was optimized using response surface methodology. About 10.26
g/kg of extracts from
S. platensis could be obtained under the optimum conditions of 48
°C at 20
MPa over a 4
h period. The antioxidant activity of the extracts prepared under the optimized condition, determined by linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition method, was lower compared with BHT and Trolox, but significantly higher than α-tocopherol in 300
min and became similar to α-tocopherol after that. The components of the extracts were further analyzed, and the results showed that the extracts contained 85.1
g/kg of flavonoids, 77.8
g/kg of β-carotene, 113.2
g/kg of vitamin A and 3.4
g/kg of α-tocopherol, which may contribute greatly to their high antioxidant activity. The main fatty acids in the extracts were palmitic acid (35.32%), linolenic acid (21.66%) and linoleic acid (20.58%).
