[Study on the sorption and isolation of shikimic acid by 717 anion exchange resin].

Objective: To establish a convenient, practical and environmental method for extracting and isolating shikimic acid.

Methods: The content of shikimic acid was measured by RP-ion-pair HPLC, the effects of different pH, temperature, sample concentration and eluate concentration on 717 anion exchange resin were studied.

Results: The yield of shikimic acid was 96.
