Sample Preparation
METHOD 1
Type-J multilayer coil planet centrifuge (P.C. Inc., Potomac, MD, USA). It holds a column holder and a counterweight in the symmetrical positions at a distance of 10 cm from the central axis of the centrifuge. The separation column was prepared by winding a single piece of Tefzel tubing (Zeus Industrial Products) of 1.6 mm I.D. (SW 14), 160 m in length around the column holder hub making 12 layers between a pair of flanges spaced 2 inches apart. The total capacity of the column is about 320 ml. The β-values varied from 0.5 at the internal terminal to 0.75 at the external terminal. The revolution speed of the apparatus was regulated with a controller (Bodine Electric, North Chicago, IL, USA) where an optimum 800 rpm was used in the present studies. A UV monitor (Uvicord S, LKB Instruments, Bromma/Stockholm, Sweden). A fraction collector (Ultrorac, LKB Instruments).

METHOD 2
Negative pressure cavitation equipment (CN2597047) was developed in our laboratory. The schematic diagram of the device is shown in Fig. 2A. The negative pressure cavitation device consists of an extraction pot (1) and a collection pot (2). Material and solvent are added into the extraction pot through the inlet (3). The negative pressure of the device is provided by a vacuum pump through an interface on top of the pot body. Nitrogen is introduced into the extraction pot through valve 2. After extraction, the extraction solvent is filtered through a net (4) into the collection pot. The residue can be removed from the pot through the discharge lid. The temperature of the entire system can be kept constant because nitrogen with ambient temperature is injected into the system continuously. The volatilized solvent is refrigerated by the condenser (6).
Ten grams of pigeon pea roots were introduced into the NPCE device from the sample portal. After the solvent was added, the device was connected to the vacuum pump. At the same time, the valve of flow meter was opened and nitrogen was supplied into the device. The negative pressure of the device can be controlled by the valve. According to the experimental design, the extraction process was performed under different conditions. The subsequent process was the same as ME. The effects of extraction time, particle size, negative pressure, ethanol concentration and liquid/solid ratio on the extraction efficiency of two isoflavonoids were investigated.
