Abstract: Microwave- and ultrasonics-assisted extraction (MAE and UAE) and heat reflux extraction (HRE) techniques were respectively used for simultaneous extraction of five polyphenolic acids,i.e. chlorogenic acid,caffeic acid,gallic acid,protocatechuic acid and vanillic acid,from Eucommia ulmodies.The influence of extraction time and solvent type on the extraction yields of compounds tested was investigated.The time that the highest extraction yields are obtained is 90 min and 2 h for UAE and HRE respectively;whereas MAE needs only  50 s.While water is shown to be a better solvent than methanol in MAE and HRE techniques for these polyphenolic acids,methanol produces a higher extraction yield than that obtained using water in UAE.The repeatabilities of the three extraction techniques were shown to be satisfactory.Due to the high extraction yields and the considerable saving of time,MAE was more effective than UAE and HRE techniques in the extraction of these polyphenolic acids from Eucommia ulmodies.

Key words: Eucommia ulmodies, polyphenolic acids, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasonically assisted extraction, heat reflux extraction
