Abstract: The purification of hawthorn total triterpenes with four commercial macroreticular resins were studied. The results showed that AB-8 is optimal resin for the purification of haw total triterpenes. The optimum conditions are as follows:with 70% ethanol as eluant, working solution pH 6, and series selecting AB-8 resin column for purification. Then, reasonable yield and high product purity can be obtained.

Key words: hawkthorn, triterpenes, macroreticular resins
