Objective:
To optimize the conditions for the extraction of Patrinia scabra Bunge saponins.
Methods:
Orthogonal experimental design and ultrasonic method were employed to examine the conditions for the extraction by determination of saponins.
Results:
The optimun condition for the extraction of Patrinia scabra Bunge saponins was as follows: 65% ethanol for 40 minutes, 55 degrees C and 210 watt of ultrasonic efficinecy.
Conclusion:
The extraction method of Patrinia scabra Bunge sponins is simple and efficient.
