Abstract: By soaking the hawthorn with non-woven pouch and the contrast group without package, the extraction efficiency was researched. The results showed that the extraction yield of packed group was higher than that of the contrast. The best combination was A3B3C3, namely, water 400mL, extraction temperature 95 ℃, extraction time 30 min. The extraction time had the greatest effect on extraction yield. Under the soaking condition of A3B3, the cumulative extraction rate of packed group was significantly higher than that of the contrast. The cumulative extraction rate of packed group was levelling off in 30 minutes, while that of the contrast was levelling off in 50 minutes. Thus, the extraction efficiency of hawthorn packed in the non-woven pouch was better than that of the contrast group without package, and non-woven can be manufactured to pack the hawthorn.

Key words: non-woven pouch, hawthorn, soaking, water-soluble extract
