In simulated gastric juice, extraction temperature, ethanol concentration, extraction time and solid-liquid ratio were discussed in order to explore the effects of the extraction condition of orange peel ethanol extracts on nitrite scavenging activity by single factor experiments. And based on these investigation, orthogonal array design was then used to search for the optimum values of the above extraction conditions maximizing its scavenging ratio against nitrite. The results showed that the optimal extraction condition was that extraction te...
