> extracting period. After an analysis of variance<br />

(ANOVA), the results (Table 6) indicated that the<br />

alcoholic concentration, solid-liquid ratio, as well as<br />

number of extraction were significant, and the extraction<br />

period was not. Summarily, the optimum extracting<br />

condition at 80°C was 80% alcohol, 1:30 solid-liquid ratio,<br />

5 numbers of extraction, and 180 min extraction period.<br />

The extraction experiment was repeated three times. The<br />

average extraction rate was 2.99%. The results showed<br />

that the proposed method was the most feasible among<br />

all previously tried methods.<br />

Results of the HPLC analysis<br />

After measuring the peak areas in Figures 6 and 7, the<br />

extraction rate was determined as 2.65%. This value was<br />

lower than the extraction rate measured by the UV
