This study used response surface methodology (RSM) in an effort to optimize the hot water extraction conditions of dandelion leaves in order to increase antioxidant activity in the extract. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of independent variables, which included the ratio of solvent to sample (X₁), extraction temperature (X₂), and extraction time (X₃), on dependent variables of the extracts, including soluble solid (Y₁), total polyphenols (Y₂), total flavonoid (Y₃), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability (Y₄), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging ability (Y∧5), and superoxide radical scavenging ability (Y∧6). The estimated optimal conditions were as follows: 83.77±1.07℃ of the extraction temperature, 20.85±0.24 mL/g of solvent per sample, and 1.59±0.12 hr of extraction time. At the optimal conditions, the predicted characteristic values were: a yield of 38.98%, a total polyphenol level of 74.28 ㎍/mg, a total flavonoid level of 74.00 ㎍/mg, a DPPH radical scavenging ability (IC∧50) of 0.14 mg/mL, a ABTS radical scavenging ability (IC∧50) of 3.24 mg/mL, and a superoxide radical scavenging ability (IC∧50) of 2.49 mg/mL.
