[The optimum condition on baicalin extraction from Scutellaria baicalensis].

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the extraction process of baicalin from Scutellaria Baicalensis Georgi with ethanol. METHODS: The extraction process of baicalin from Scutellaria Baicalensis Georgi was optimized with the aid of orthogonal experiments. RESULTS: The optimal parameters were obtained as follows: extracting temperature, extracting time, ethanol concentration and mechanical stirring speed were 80 degrees C, 1 h, 60% and 400 r/min, respectively. The extracting rate of baicalin was 83.90%. CONCLUSION: Comparing ethanol circumfluence, boiling water, ultrasonic wave and semi-bionic on extracting baicalin from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, the ethanol circumfluence extraction is better than other technological conditions on extracting baicalin.
