Abstract: Subcritical water extraction is a new kind of separation technology. The principle and advantage of subcritical water extraction are described, the application of extraction of valuable compounds(such as volatile oil, polyphenols, pectine, lactone, anthraquinone,etc.)from natural plants and food by-products are introduced, and the development prospect of subcritical water extraction in the field of plant extractives is explored.

Key words: plant extractives, subcritical water, extraction, application
