Optimization of kidney bean antioxidants using RSM & ANN and characterization of antioxidant profile by UPLC-QTOF-MS

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) and two artificial neural networks (ANN), multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF), were used for the first time to model and optimize the extraction conditions of phenolic compounds in kidney beans in order to compare and establish effective prediction models. A total of 40 experiments were performed to screen for variables. The highest amount of polyphenols (917.2 mg GAE/100...
