The invention relates to a method for extracting rubusoside from sweet tea leaves. The method comprises the following steps: (1) crushing sweet tea leaves, sieving the material, adding water, continuously performing countercurrent extraction, and filtering the material; (2) adding an
enzyme preparation for
enzymatic hydrolysis, and performing steps of inactivation, cooling,
flocculation,
filtration, and filter residue washing with water; (3) performing
ultrafiltration and
nanofiltration; (4) performing adsorption on macroporous adsorption resin
chromatography column, washing the material withwater, discarding a washing solution, performing
gradient elution with an
organic solvent, and performing vacuum concentration; (5) performing adsorption on an
alumina column, washing the material with water, and performing vacuum concentration; (6) adding
activated carbon, stirring the material, filtering the material, and performing vacuum concentration and
spray drying; and 7) dissolving the material with the
organic solvent, and performing steps of filtering,
crystallization, pumping
filtration,
vacuum drying, and crushing to obtain the rubusoside product. The extracted rubusoside productpresents pure white color, the purity is greater than or equal to 99%, and the yield is greater than or equal to 90.5%. The method of the invention has the advantages of simple operation process, short extraction time, low
energy consumption and low cost, and can realize continuous large-scale production.
