[Objective] To find the optimal technology for the extraction of total polyphenols from the leaves of Camellia chrysantha (Hu) Tuyama. [Method] With the extraction rate of total polyphenols as the index, L9(34) orthogonal test was adopted based on single factor test. Effects of acetone concentration, extraction temperature, extraction time and solid-liquid ratio on the extraction rate of total polyphenols from C. chrysantha leaves were researched. The optimal extraction technology was selected. [Result] The optimal extraction technology for total polyphenols from C. chrysantha leaves was 70% acetone concentration, 60 ℃ extraction temperature, 3.5 h extraction time and 1∶25 (W/V, g/mL) solid-liquid ratio. Under this condition, the extraction rate of total polyphenols from C. chrysantha leaves was 1.54%. [Conclusion] This method was simple, stable and feasible, and could be used for the extraction of total polyphenols from C. chrysantha leaves.
