The extraction of dihydromyricetin from seeds of H.dulcis by ultrasound-assisted method was carried out on the basis of single factor investigation of ethanol volume fraction, ultrasound irradiation power, extraction temperature, liquid-solid ratio and ultrasound irradiation time. The Box-Behnken response surface design method was used to establish a quadratic polynomial model of ultrasound irradiation power, ultrasound irradiation time and liquid-solid ratio, and optimized extraction process. The optimum conditions for the extraction were as follows:ethanol volume fraction of 60%, ultrasonic irradiation power of 140 W, ultrasonic irradiation time of 30 min, liquid-solid ratio of 20.5 mL·g-1, and extraction temperature of 40℃. Under these optimal conditions, the yield of dihydromyricetin was 2.14±0.09 mg·g-1. The extraction method is simple, rapid, and high in efficiency, which is beneficial to the comprehensive processing and utilization of the H.dulcis resources. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2020.05.017
