Abstract:Objective: To analyze the chemical constituents of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction products from Cnidium monieri. Method: Four-factor and three-level orthogonal experimental design was used to optimize the SFE conditiongs as guided by the content of total coumarins in the extract. The chemical constituents were separated and identified by recrystallization. Result: Optimum extraction process was established: 25 MPa as extraction pressure, 50 ℃ as extraction temperature, 6.5 MPa as setaration pressure and 60 ℃ as separation temperature . Conclusion: Changes in extraction pressure, temperature, time, pulverized degree and separation pressure affect the extracting results remarkably . The two kinds of chemical constituents were separated by recrystallization from C. monieri and identified by the methods of UV, IR, MS,NMR.
