The single factor experiment and the orthogonal method were used to optimize the MAE condition. It was concluded that two doses of intermittent microwave power radiation, 300 W each for 4 rain, were needed for extraction. The mass ratio of solvent to material was 8：1 and the alcohol mass fraction was 80%. The extracted liquor was then concentrated under vacuum and degreased with petroleum ether. The yield of total isofiavones was about 8.8% and the contents of tectoridin and iridin were 67.6% and 16.3% respectively. Compared with direct-heating extraction （DHE）, MAE may shorten extracting duration, reduce solvent consumption, and improve yield and purity of isoflavones from Belamcanda chinensis.展开更多
