Abstract: Response surface methodology (RSM) is applied to optimize supercritical fluid extraction process of essential oils from Piper longum L.Based on single experiments,the temperature of extraction,the pressure of extraction,the dynamic  extraction of time are selected for Box-Behnken central composite designing.RSM is employed to study the effect of these factors on yield of essential oils.The results indicates that the optimal extraction conditions are 49 ℃ as the temperature,36.5 MPa as the pressure,with 180 min extraction.Under this conditions,the extraction yield of essential oils is up to 5.67%.
