Abstract: The microwave extraction method of shikimic acid from Illicium verum Hook.f. was studied in this experiment. Optimized the microwave extraction process by orthogonal test in comparison with traditional extraction methods. The crude product was purified with methanol. The melting point of the final product is 186~190 ℃ and its characterization is done with IR.

Key words: Illicium verum Hook.f., shikimic acid, microwave extraction, characterization
