Abstract: The labdanum extract from branches and leaves of Cistus labdaniferus L.was obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction(SCFE-CO2) at pressure 28 MPa,temperature 40℃,flow rate 30 L/h and time 3 h.The labdanum concrete was obtained by Soxhlet extraction using benzene as solvent,and labdanum oil was obtained by steam distillation.The yield and properties of the extracts obtained with different extracting methods were compared and analyzed.The results showed that the yields were 6.6% by SCFE-CO2 extraction(4.8% by benzene extraction and 0.8% by steam distillation respectively).The yield of SCFE-CO2 extraction was the highest and the quality was better than that of benzene extraction.Chemical constituents and their relative contents of the SCFE-CO2 extract and steam distillation oil were measured by GC-MS,and 31 chemical constituents were identified,in which 31 compounds existed in the SCFE-CO2 extract,26 compounds existed in the steam distillation oil.
