In order to investigate the properties of procyanidins from malt,extraction and purification methods of procyanidins were established.The crude procyanidins from malt were purified by AB-8 macroreticular resin,and the purification conditions were researched through adsorption and desorption experiment.The optimum conditions of organic solvents extraction were as follows: 60% ethanol( v/v) as the solvent,extraction temperature 85 ℃,the ratio of solvent to material at 25∶1( g∶mL),extraction time 1.5 h.The most suitable adsorption conditions were: sample concentration 0.57 mg/mL,and flow velocity 0.5 mL/min.And the desorption conditions were: 60% ethanol(v/v),flow rate 1 mL/min,elution volume 65 mL.The recovery efficiency can be reached to 95.2 %,and the purity was 67.58%.
