The qualities and extraction technology of Prunus cerasoides pigments were studied by the comparison of the pigment solubility in different solvents,colors changes in different pH and the maximum absorptions.Various factors that affected the extraction technology of the pigment were investigated including extraction times,extraction time,ratio of material to liquor and extraction temperature.Results showed the pigment was one of the betalains and contained betacyanin and betaxanthin.The best extraction technology was: three times extraction for 40min under 30 ℃ and ratio of material to liquor was 1∶10(g∶mL).
