Abstract: The resources of Ginkgo biloba exotesta, in which the phenolic acids have obvious inhibitory effect on crop diseases and insect pests, are rich in our country. In order to facilitate the development and utilization of these resources, in this study, we made a one- factor experimental design of solvent type, solvent concentration, ratio of material to liquid, extraction time and extraction temperature etc. respectively, for optimization of preparation system of extract of Ginkgo biloba exotesta (EGBE). Before this, the exotesta was collected when Ginkgo seeds were harvested, then was cleaned and naturally dried. The results indicated that EGBE with yield of up to 44.87% , in which ginkgolic acids were up to 13.25% , could be extracted and prepared by the optimized system including 80% ethanol, solid- liquid ratio of 1:20 (g:mL), ultrasonic extraction under the condition of 40℃ for 30 min. The above results not only provide EGBE with higher content of ginkgolic acids for prevention and control of plant diseases and insect pests, but also provide optimized system and techniques of EGBE preparation for efficient utilization of Ginkgo biloba exotesta.
