Abstract: The effect of pressure, temperature and entrainers of extraction and crystallization on the purity and the crystal ratio of bergenin were investigated via single factor test, observing shape of crystal with scanning electron microscope (SEM), determining purity of bergenin by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The result showed that the crystal of bergenin was distributed in grad on crystallization board; when we select the optimized parameters: pressure 15 MPa, tempera- ture 55 ℃ and ethanol, the purity of bergenin was more than 92% and the crystal ratio was more than 60%.
