Abstract: The Olea europaea leaves were extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology, then the extract was analyzed by silica gel column chromatography. A compound was isolated from the extract with content of 96% which was identified as oleuropein by HPLC-MS, 1H NMR, and IR. The HPLC analysis was carried out with column C18 and MeOH-water 40:60 (volume ratio) as mobile phase at flow rate 0.5 mL/min, and monitored at 254 nm. By single factor and orthogonal experiments, optimal extraction conditions were obtained as follows: extraction pressure 25 MPa, extraction temperature 45 ℃, separation temperature 45 ℃,extraction time 4 h, and CO2 flow rate 30 kg/h. At the optimal extraction conditions, the yield of oleuropein was 0.435%.
