The extracting process of total flavonoids from Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati. with ultrasonic-assisted method was optimized. Oahogonal design method was applied to study the effect of four factors such as ethanol concentration, ra- tio of material/solvent ,extraction duration and time of extraction on the extraction efficiency based on the experimental result of single factor method. The results have shown that optimum conditions of ethanol concentration ,ratio of material/ solvent, extraction duration and time of extraction were 40%, 1:14,10 mi...
