Studied the extraction and basic properties of the Lonicera Maackii fruit pigment. Results show that the optimal extraction conditions are as follows: extraction temperature 80℃，extraction time 45 min and ratio of material to solvent 1:8(g/mL)；and the pigment exhibits a poor stability to sunshine，heat, VC，hydrogen peroxide and sodium sulfite. Glucose, sucrose and citric acid as well as the metal ions of Na+, Ca2+, A13+ exhibit no negative or little effect on the pigment stability; the pigment preserves red color at pH≤3，and in neutral and alkaline environment the color is completely destroyed. The result indicates that the pigment of Lonicera Maackii fruit has basic properties of the natural pigment and can be used as natural pigment resources to be developed.
