The invention discloses a method for extracting D-
allose from nut shells by a
microwave radiation process. The method comprises the following steps of crushing the nut shells, carrying out
microwave radiation on the crushed nut shells, carrying out
solid-liquid separation on a product obtained after
microwave radiation, carrying out rotary
evaporation separation on a liquid obtained after
solid-liquid separation, washing a viscous
solid phase obtained after rotary
evaporation separation with a polar
solvent, and carrying out water
dissolution recrystallization on insoluble substances obtainedafter washing with the polar
solvent. According to the method,
plant wastes, namely the nut shells, are used as raw materials, and a green reaction process is adopted, so that
rare sugar, namely the D-
allose, can be rapidly and efficiently extracted from the nut shells, the production cost of the D-
allose is greatly reduced, and the additional value and the
resource utilization rate of the nut shells are improved.
