## Abstract Different from the west medicine, the therapeutic effect of the traditional Chinese medicine is usually based on multifarious essential components or the combination of them instead of only one component. In this paper, a novel supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method has been develo

Abstract
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was used to extract saikosaponins a, c and d from the root of Bupleurum falcatum. An orthogonal array design L~9~(3)^4^ was employed as a chemometric method for the optimization of the SFE conditions. The effects of four factors including pressure (30โ40โMPa), temperature (40โ50ยฐC), ethanol concentration (60โ100%) and time (2.5โ3.5โh) on the yields of saikosaponins were investigated by a preparative SFE system in the SFE mode. Under the optimized conditions, namely 35โMPa of pressure, 45ยฐC of temperature, 80% of ethanol concentration and 3.0โh of time, the yields of saikosaponin c, saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, total saikosaponins and SFE extract were 0.16, 0.12, 0.96, 1.24 and 16.48โmg/g, respectively. Determinations of the saikosaponins were performed by HPLC.
