Optimization of Ultraviolet-B Treatment for Enrichment of Total Flavonoids in Buckwheat Sprouts Using Response Surface Methodology and Study on Its Metabolic Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Buckwheat possesses significant nutritional content and contains different bioactive compounds, such as total flavonoids, which enhance its appeal to consumers. This study employed single-factor experiments and the response surface methodology to identify the optimal germination conditions for enhancing the total flavonoid content in buckwheat sprouts through ultraviolet-B treatment. The research showed that buckwheat sprouts germinated for 3 days at a temperature of 28.7 °C while being exposed to ultraviolet-B radiation at an intensity of 30.0 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 for 7.6 h per day during the germination period resulted in the highest total flavonoid content of 1872.84 μg/g fresh weight. Under these specified conditions, ultraviolet-B treatment significantly elevated the act
