Abstract: Ursolic acid was extracted supercritically from Ilex kudingcha C.J.Tseng with fluid CO2. The extract liquid was purified with acid and alkali and detected with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Optimal extracting conditions resulted to be absolute ethanol as entrainer, CO2 flow rate at 20 L·h-1, extracting temperature at 45 ℃, extracting pressure at 30 MPa and extracting time for 3 h, and the extraction rate was upto 0.453%. Moreover, crude products of ursolic acid with a purity of 21.44% were produced finally. This extraction technology is superior to the traditional solvent extraction of ursolic acid, and suitable for industrial production.
