Effects of Chinese yam peels on immunity and gut microbiota in cyclophosphamide-induced chickens and optimization of extraction process.

ABSTRACT: Yam is famous for its nutritional and medicinal values and is widely distributed around the world, among which the Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita thunb. cv. Tiegun) from Jiaozuo City, Henan Province is the most prominent. Chinese yam peel (CYP) is a waste product after processing, but it still retains abundant pharmacological compounds. In this study, the extraction process of CYP water extracts was optimized by single factor and response surface method according to the extraction rate and polysaccharide content of CYP extracts. The results showed that the optimal extraction process of CYP was solid-liquid ratio of 1:24, the extraction temperature of 75℃, and the extraction time of 4.4 h. The extraction rate of CYP extracts was 19.46 %, and the polysaccharide content was 100.53 mg/kg obta
