The invention discloses a method for extracting radix
codonopsis extract. The method comprises the steps that one part of radix
codonopsis is placed in a
drying box, radix
codonopsis is dried till the
water content of radix codonopsis is smaller than or equal to 5%, and
grinding is carried out; electronic beams with the strength being 10 kGy are used for
irradiation; radix codonopsis
powder is added into 70% ethyl
alcohol with the pH value being 5, water bath ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 5 min, stirring is carried out for 1 h, suction
filtration is carried out, first filtrate and first filter residues are obtained, the first filtrate is subjected to rotary
evaporation, and a mixture A is obtained; the first filter residues are placed in eight parts of
organic solvent, water ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 5 min, stirring is carried out for 30 min, suction
filtration is carried out, second filtrate is obtained and subjected to rotary
evaporation, and a mixture B is obtained; second filter residues are added into 50 parts of deionized water, digesting is carried out for 10 min, the mixture is cooled to 30 DEG C, suction
filtration is carried out, third filtrate is obtained, reduced pressure
distillation is carried out, and a mixture C is obtained; the mixture A, the mixture B and the mixture C are placed in 15 parts of absolute ethyl
alcohol, the mixture is placed in a water bath at the temperature of 50 DEG C, stirring is carried out for 20 min, the mixture is placed in a refrigerator, the temperature is below 5 DEG C, standing is carried out for 10 h, suction filtration is carried out, liquid is filtered out, and the radix
codonopsis extract is obtained. According to the method,
nutrient substances in radix codonopsis are efficiently and safely extracted.
