The invention discloses astilbin prepared by taking engelhardia roxburghiana leaves as a raw material and a preparation method of the astilbin. The method comprises the following steps of crushing theengelhardia roxburghiana leaves into fragments, carrying out micro-boiling reflux extraction for multiple times by using ethyl acetate, and combining extracting solutions; recovering ethyl acetate inthe extracting solution, adding deionized water, driving out residual ethyl acetate in the extracting solution, and carrying out primary crystallization and filtration to obtain a crude product; dissolving the crude product with ethanol, adding activated carbon powder, stirring and filtering to obtain filtrate; enabling the filtrate to pass through a macroporous adsorption resin column, and eluting with ethanol to obtain effluent; and adding ethyl acetate into the effluent, uniformly stirring and mixing, standing, taking the supernatant, adding deionized water into the supernatant, sequentially concentrating, crystallizing for the second time, filtering to obtain crystals, washing, and drying in vacuum to obtain the product. According to the method provided by the invention, the extraction rate and the product purity of astilbin are obviously improved; and the purpose of quickly and efficiently extracting astilbin at low cost is achieved, and the method can be used for mass productionin factories.
