Abstract:In order to study the extraction and purification of flavonein C.cathayensis exocarp, organic solvent extraction was used to extrat flavone compound in C.cathayensis exocarp. Through single fraction experiments and orthogonal experiments, the optimal technological parameters were determined. The result showed the maximum extraction ration of flavone compound was 1.14% under the condition of 70% ethanol, time of 4h, temperature of 60℃, liquidsolid ratio of 15mL/g. Silica gel chromatography was used to purify falconoid, liquidsolid ratio of 3mL/g, gradient eluted by 70% ethanol at the speed of 2mL/min, the purity of flavone was improved by 34.6%, and its recovery reached to 89.46%.
