The study of rutin extraction from autochthonous hardhay flowers (Hyperici herba) and underbrush fruits (Hippophaes fructus) with methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol at different concentrations, temperatures and duration indicated that the most efficient solvent was 1-propanol, the optimum concentration being determined by the amount and type of natural compounds from the two plants.Using statistical analysis and a factorial second order experiment two mathematical correlations between the degree of rutin extraction and the main parameters influencing the process (1-propanol concentration temperature, duration) were established. For both extraction systems, the considered variables control the extraction process to an extent of 99.2 99.5%, the solvent concentration exhibiting the most important influence especially for rutin extraction from underbrush fruits (Hippophaes fructus)
