In terms of the determination by the ultravoilet spectrophotometry, microwave extration of the total flavones from andrographis was studied. The effects of the microwave power, the radiation time, the ratio of solution to solid, the granularity of andrographis and the time of immersion were evaluated by single factor and orthogonal experiments. The extraction conditions of flavones from andrographis by microwave method were optimized as microwave power of the middle-fire for 4 min, 50:1 of the weight ratio of water to...
