Abstract The orthogonal test was designed to find out the optimum experiment conditions of microwave assisted extracting the effective component from Chinese herbal medicine Geranium Herb. The content of rutin was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The optimal conditions were found to be ethanol concentration of 70.0%(V),solidliquid mass ratio of 1∶20,microwave time of 150 second and microwave power of 385 W. Under the optimal conditions, the extraction rate of rutin reached 98.74%. The qualitative analysis of rutin was carried out by using chemical detection method and infrared spectroscopy.
