Illicium verum, which is an expensive medicinal plant, contains many valuable active ingredients. However, the rich extractives in Illicium verum biomass are wasted to a large extent due to the inefficient extraction and separation processes. In order to further utilize the resources, four extractives were obtained by the four-stage extractions, and then the active moleculars of YBSJ extractives were identified and analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the release rate of Illicium verum fruits increased during drying. The first-stage extra...
