Abstract: This study aimed to optimize the extraction conditions of volatile components from Chinese dates(Zizyphus jujuba) through orthogonal test and analyze the extract by using GC-MS. Four affecting factors were investigated,including extractive pressure,temperature,co-solvent type and ratio of raw material to co-solvent. The optimal extraction conditions are:extraction pressure 35 MPa,temperature 40 ℃,and ethanol as co-solvent,ratio of raw material to ethanol 1:0.9. The extraction yield could reach 1.51% under these optimal conditions.

Key words: Zizyphus jujuba, supercritical CO2 extraction, orthogonal test
