The application discloses a
ginseng extract rich in
ginsenoside Rb and an extraction method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine extraction and separation. The method takes the dried roots of 5-year-old and younger artificially planted
ginseng as raw materials, and obtains
ginseng coarse
powder through cleaning,
slicing,
drying and crushing; after adding water to the ginseng coarse
powder and adjusting the pH, a composite
enzyme preparation is added for enzymatic pretreatment, and after inactivating the
enzyme activity, a pretreated liquid is obtained;
ethanol and water are added to the pretreated liquid, the
ethanol concentration is adjusted, and twice hot
reflux extraction is carried out and
filtration is performed; after the extract is combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, water is added, stirred and allowed to stand for
impurity removal, and the supernatant is taken for adsorption resin purification; the
ethanol eluate is collected and concentrated under reduced pressure, malt
dextrin is added and uniformly mixed, and then
spray drying is performed, so as to obtain the
ginseng extract rich in
ginsenoside Rb. Compared with the prior art, the
ginseng extract prepared by the method is beneficial to improving the extract yield, the
ginsenoside content and the
