EXTRACTION OF ANTHRAQUINONE DERIVATIVES FROM RHUBARB RHIZOMES AND THEIR ANTIBACT

Photometry was employed to study the optimum extraction conditions of anthraquinone derivatives from rhizomes of Rheum officinale Baill in this study. The influences of extraction solvents (chloroform, benzene, ethanol, methanol, and glycerol), acid, and extraction time on the extraction yield were
