The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of extracting agents and deep-eutectic solvents, and relates to application of an extracting agent and a deep-eutectic solvent in determining of effective ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular to application in determining of flavonoid ingredient in radix scutellariae, and application of an extracting agent and a deep-eutectic solvent in determining of effective ingredients of baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside, wogonin and scutellarin in radix scutellariae. The application is characterized in that the radix scutellariae is used as the raw material, the deep-eutectic solvent, especially choline deep-eutectic solvent, is used as the extracting agent, the water is used as a thinner for reducing the system viscosity, and the flavonoid compound is forcibly extracted under the ultrasonic condition. An extracting method has the advantages that the extracting efficiency of the flavonoid ingredient is higher, the extracting conditions are moderate, and the operation is simple and convenient. The extracting agent has the characteristics of no burning explosion and volatizing, small loss, low energy consumption andthe like. The extracting method is also suitable for extracting the flavonoid-containing traditional Chinese medicines, such as radix astragali seu hedysari, liquorice root, radix puerariae and radixsophorae flavescentis.
