Under the optimum extraction process of orthogonal test, extraction temperature of 100℃, extraction time of 60 min and solidliquid ratio of 1∶15 g·mL-1, the polysaccharide extraction yield reached to 8.34%. Water extraction method has the advantages of the simple process, no environmental pollution and no solvent recovery problem. Our results can provide the experimental evidences for peony seed pod utilization. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2015.01.024
