Extraction efficiency of hawthorn packed in non-woven pouch

By soaking the hawthorn packed in a non-woven pouch and the contrast group without package,the extraction efficiency was researched. The extract yield of packed group was higher than that of the contrast. The best combination was A3B3C3,namely,water 400 mL,soaking temperature 95 ℃ and soaking time 30 min. The soaking time had the greatest effect on the extract yield. Under the soaking condition of A3B3,the cumulative extraction rate of the packed group was significantly higher than that of the contrast. The cumulative extraction rate of the packed group was levelling off in 30 min,while that of the contrast was levelling off in 50 min. Thus,the extraction efficiency of hawthorn packed in the nonwoven pouch was better than that of the contrast group without package,showing the feasibility of nonwovens being manufactured as pouches for packing the hawthorn.
