The invention discloses an extraction process of
ginseng saponin Rd. The extraction process comprises the following steps: S1,
grinding ginseng saponin Rd-containing herbal materials into herbal
powder, performing
reflux extraction by using 70-95%
ethanol, recycling the
ethanol, and concentrating to obtain a total extract; S2, taking the total extract, enabling the total extract to pass through D101 macroporous adsorption resin, eluting by using 40-80%
ethanol, recycling the ethanol, and performing deconperssion concentration to obtain total
saponin; S3, taking the total saponin, enabling the total saponin to pass through a
silica gel chromatography column, performing
isocratic elution by using a mixture of n-
butanol,
ethyl acetate and water, performing
thin layer chromatography, combining fractions to obtain crude
ginseng saponin Rd; S4, taking the crude ginseng saponin Rd, enabling the crude ginseng saponin Rd to pass through an Rp-C18
silica gel column, performing
isocratic elution by using a mixture of
methanol and water, performing
thin layer chromatography, combining required components, separating out precipitate to obtain the ginseng saponin Rd. By the extraction process, the ginseng saponin Rd separating and purifying effects can be improved, use of a toxic organic
reagent is avoided, the operation is simple and convenient and a production process is easy to control; therefore, the extraction process is suitable for industrial production.
