Steam explosion pretreatment was conducted on seabuckthom pomace. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the treatment conditions of steam explosion, including steam pressure, duration and particle size. After this, the content of total flavonoids and the antioxidant capacity of total flavonoids were investigated. Results showed that when the steam pressure was 2.0 MPa, duration was 88 s and a sieving mesh size was 60, the total flavonoids content in seabuckthorm reached a maximum of 24.74 ± 0.71 mg CAE/g, an increase of 246% compared with that without steam explosion treatment (7.14 ± 0.42 mg CAE/g). Also, DPPH and ·OH free radical scavenging ability showed significant improvement, with an IC 50 decrease to 13.53 μg/mL and 4.32 μg/mL, respectively, far lower than that in original samples. Through the scanning electron microscope, the surface of seabuckthom pomace after steam explosion was crinkled, curly, and holey. Our study showed that the content of total flavonoids in seabuckthom pomace could be obviously promoted and the antioxidant capacity of total flavonoids also improved significantly, after applying steam explosion pretreatment to seabuckthom pomace, making this approach meaningful for the reuse of seabuckthom pomace resources.
