Data of microwave assisted extraction and conventional hot water extraction of Dendrobium Sonia ‘Earsakul’ orchid flower

Crude extracts of fresh Dendrobium Sonia ‘Earsakul’ orchid flowers (DSE) were prepared using microwave assisted extraction (MAE; using household microwave oven) and hot water extraction (HWE; at constant 80 °C). The obtained DSEs were measured their absorbance at λ(max) of 543 and 583 nm and determined their total monomeric anthocyanin contents (TAC). Mathematical models of MAE of Dendrobium Sonia ‘Earsakul’ orchid flower were constructed using response surface methodology - Box-Behnken design. Studied parameters included flower to water ratio, microwave power, and extraction time, with absorbance at λ(max) as response. The data generated were 1) visible spectrum (400–700 nm) of DSE; 2) absorbance values at λ(max) and 3) TAC of DSEs obtained from various extraction conditions of MAE and HWE; 4) linear equations describing correlations between TAC and absorbance at λ(max) of DSEs; and 5) mathematical models of MAE of Dendrobium Sonia ‘Earsakul’ orchid.
