Abstract: A dynamic ultrasonic extraction(DUE) coupled with on-line detection by spectrophotometry was proposed for the determination of total safflower yellow pigments(calculated against safflor yellow A) in Carthamus tinctorius L. The extraction was performed in a common self-made extraction vessel placed inside an ultrasonic bath and a peristaltic pump was used to deliver the solvent. Several parameters of DUE, including flow rate of extraction solvent, ultrasonic power and sample amount, were optimized. Compared to the off-line method, the on-line approach has the advantages of minimum sample amount(5 mg), on-line monitoring the extraction process and time-saving(10 min) and the method is more convenient for rapid optimization of the extraction process.

Key words: Dynamic ultrasound-assisted extraction, On-line detection, Safflower yellow pigments, Carthamum tinctorius L.
