Objective To make use of the resources of celery,avoid wasting and approach the extraction of total flavanone of celery.Methods The flavonoids were extracted by ethanol as the solvent from celery with ultrasonic wave and ethanol extraction.Using spectrophotometry to extract and check the flavanone of celery.Results The density of the total flavanone of celery was C=0.2126 mg/ml and the rate of recovery was 100.3 %. The outcome and the purity of the flavanone were all very high.Conclusion This method is a purely physical process and has not any pollution.It is an ideal way to extract the flavanone of celery.
