The invention belongs to the technical field of
plant biology and in particular relates to a method for extracting
paeonol from
paeonia suffruticosa roots. The method comprises the steps of picking, complex
enzyme liquid preparation, ultrasonic treatment, centrifugal treatment and reduced pressure
distillation. The method has the beneficial effects that
enzyme treatment is firstly carried out on
paeonia suffruticosa roots and barks at 30 DEG C for 20 minutes, so that the
cell walls of the
paeonia suffruticosa roots and barks and the interstitial structures of the
cell walls can suffer from changes such as local loosening, swelling, collapse and the like; short-time ultrasonic treatment is then carried out on the paeonia suffruticosa roots and barks, ultrasonic
waves generate strong
impact waves and microjet inside the liquid, and the powerful
impact flow can effectively reduce and eliminate the
blocking layer between a
solvent and an aqueous phase, thus increasing the
mass transfer rate; besides, the
impact flow generates a physical
shear force towards
cell tissues, so that the cell tissues deform, fracture and release inclusions, the cell walls and the interstitial structures of the cell walls suffer from local loosening and swelling, the extraction process of
paeonol in the cells is accelerated, and the effect of getting twofold results with half the effort is achieved.
