Abstract: In this study, by single factor and orthogonal tests, the optimum technological conditions for extracting saponin from Camellia oleifera Abel. are determined as follows: extraction temperature 60 ℃,the solid-liquid ratio1:20, total extraction time 3 h, and 65% ethanol as extraction solvent. Under these conditions, the extraction yield is 10.79%. By sephadex LH20 column chromatography, the purity of the saponin is up to 95.58%.

Key words: sasanquasaponin, extraction, purification, Sephadex LH20
