The invention relates to a method for extracting
eugenol in velvety
lilac flower leaves, comprising the following steps of: firstly, cleaning and
drying the velvety
lilac flower leaves, sieving by a 40-mesh
sieve after crushing the velvety
lilac flower leaves by a
crusher, and obtaining velvety lilac flower
powder; secondly, putting the sieved velvety lilac flower
powder into an extraction tank with the extraction temperature of 30-50 DEG C, the extraction pressure of 10-20 MPa, the
carbon dioxide flow of 10-50L / h and the extraction time of 50-100min, and obtaining an extraction liquid A; and thirdly, obtaining an extraction liquid B by extracting the extraction liquid A by an NaOH solution 3 times, obtaining an extraction liquid C by extracting the extraction liquid B by
ether 3 times after acidizing the extraction liquid B to show
acid property on blue
litmus paper by chlorhydric acid;
drying by
anhydrous sodium sulfate, and recovering the
ether to obtain a light yellow oily liquid, i.e. the
eugenol. An extraction
solvent used in the preparation method has the advantages of wide sources, low cost, high
extraction ratio, low cost, simple operation, short extraction time, high extraction efficiency and no
solvent residues.
