The fitting degree of the model was high and the experimental error was small. Finally, the optimums of peony seed oil in extraction process at suitable temperature were the pressure 4.6 MPa, feed rate 1 600 g·min-1, temperature 73℃, and moisture content 4.6%. The maximum oil yield and residual oil rate were 23% and 7.02%, respectively. The unsaturated fatty acid content was 90.36% at the optimal preparation conditions, and the content of linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid was 40.71%, 27.25%, 22.40%, 7.23% and 1.60%, respectively. The acid value and peroxide value of peony seed oil were 2.61 mg·g-1 and 1.56 mmol·kg-1, respectively. All the test results are higher than the requirements of the peony seed oil quality standard "Standard of the People's Republic of China for Food Industry LS/T 3242-2014". %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2020.01.011
