The invention discloses a continuous lutein extract saponifying process, and belongs to the technical field of natural plant extracts. The continuous lutein extract saponifying process comprises the following steps: adding a part of a lutein extract and a part of an alcoholic-alkaline solution into saponifying equipment, heating, mixing, and presaponifying to obtain a saponified lutein extract mixture I; continuously adding the lutein extract and the alcoholic-alkaline solution into the saponified lutein extract mixture I, heating, mixing, continuously feeding and continuously discharging at the same time to achieve rapid continuous saponification of the lutein extract so as to obtain saponified lutein liquid. In a way of continuous feeding, forcible mixing and circulating saponification, the rapid saponification of the lutein extract is achieved, the saponifying time is greatly shortened, the heated loss of the extract is reduced, and the final lutein crystal yield of a product is increased.
