title: [Study on supercritical CO2 fluid extraction and separation of components from fruits of Schisandra sphenanthera].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To extract and separate deoxyschisandrin, gamma-schisandrin, etc in fruits of Schisandra sphenanthera by supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extraction technology.
  
  
  METHODS
  Optimum extraction conditions were studied by orthogonal tests and deoxyschisandrin, gamma-schisandrin, wuweizi chun A, wuweizi ester A were analyzed by HPLC.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The optimum extraction conditions are pressure 21 MPa, temperature 37 degrees C and flow rate of CO2 5 L.min-1, according to the rate of extraction.
