Abstract: It was studied in a systematic way that heme was extracted from porcine blood corpuscle by glacial acetic acid. Theresults showed that the optimum conditions for the extraction of heme were: glacial acetic acid and blood corpuscle at a ratio of4.4:1(V:V), sodium chloride added at 1.5%(V:V) and time for 40 min at 105℃. The content of heme was about 50% withoutfurther purification.

Key words: heme, extraction, glacial acetic acid
