The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, crushing cordate
houttuynia rhizomes, adding the crushed cordate
houttuynia rhizomes into a mixed acid
aqueous solution, and carrying out immersion treatment to obtain a cordate
houttuynia mixed solution; s2, adjusting the pH value of the herba houttuyniae
mixed solution to 4-5, adding
pectinase, carrying out primary enzymolysis and
enzyme deactivation, adjusting the pH value to 6-7, adding compound
enzyme, carrying out secondary enzymolysis and
enzyme deactivation, so as to obtain an enzymatic
hydrolysate; s3,
menthol is added into the enzymatic
hydrolysate,
water extraction is conducted, and water extract and filter residues are obtained; s4, the filter residues are added into ethyl
alcohol, then
salicylic acid and
diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono (di) glycerides are added,
alcohol extraction and filtering are conducted, and an
alcohol extraction solution is obtained; s5, mixing the water extract with the alcohol extract, and performing reduced pressure
distillation to obtain the herba houttuyniae extract. According to the method, the extraction rate of
polysaccharide and flavone in
houttuynia cordata can be effectively increased, and meanwhile, the prepared
houttuynia cordata extract has better
oxidation resistance and has a good application prospect.
