Abstract: Orthogonal experiments were applied to optimize the extraction conditions for flavones from Syzygium cumini Linn. Skeels leaves. The optimum extraction conditions were: ethanol volume fraction 70%, raw material to liquid ratio 1:20(g:mL), extraction temperature 80℃, extraction time 3 h, and the yield of flavones was 6.06%. The in vitro-oxidation effect on DPPH· was investigated. The results showed that S.cumini leaves was an effective free radical scavenger, and had a significant scavenging effect. The elimination rate increase with the increase of flavones concentration within the range of 31.25-250m g/L. It can reach the highest value of 93.04%.

Key words: Syzygium cumini Linn. Skeels, flavones, antioxidant capacity, DPPH·
