Abstract: The optimum extraction conditions of microwave technology were studied for the luffa seed oil. The effects of the proportion of petroleum ether and anhydrous alcohol, temperature, time and liquid to material ratio on extraction rate of the oil in luffa seed were studied by single-factor experiments. On the base of single-factor experiments and three-level four-factor box-behnken design, the optimal conditions of microwave-assisted extraction were concluded as follows: the volume ratio of petroleum ether to anhydrous alcohol 2:1, temperature 51℃, time 14 min, liquid to material ratio 11 mL/g. In this condition, the actual luffa seed oil extraction rate was 10.92% which is almost equal to the predictable value.

Key words: microwave-assisted extraction, luffa seed oil, response surface methodology
