The invention discloses a method for extracting high-purity 
hesperetin from immature bitter orange, which comprises the following steps: 1. pulverizing immature bitter orange, extracting with 
alcohol solvent under 
reflux three times, filtering, merging the three filtrates, and concentrating; 2. adding inorganic acid into the concentrated solution for 
hydrolysis, naturally cooling to 
room temperature, filtering, washing the filter residues, and centrifugalizing to obtain a crude 
hesperetin product; and 3. dissolving the crude 
hesperetin product in 
ethanol, adding 
activated carbon to decolorize under 
reflux, filtering, concentrating, crystallizing, filtering, and 
drying the filtered 
solid matter to obtain the hesperetin crystals of which the 
mass purity is not lower than 95%.By using the immature bitter orange as the 
raw material for extraction, 
hydrolysis and refinement, compared with the traditional technique of extracting hesperetin from 
hesperidin, the invention reduces the intermediate links, lowers the production loss, enhances the production yield of hesperetin, lowers the production cost, and eliminates the 
hesperidin refinement, 
drying and other links in the original production process, thereby greatly shortening the 
production cycle.
