The invention discloses a method for extracting
cannabidiol from industrial hemp floral leaves. The method comprises the following steps:
grinding and
drying floral leaves of industrial hemp, thereby obtaining medicinal
powder; extracting the medicinal
powder by adopting 30-100v% of
ethanol, thereby obtaining extracting solution; concentrating the extracting solution to obtain extract; performing water
precipitation on the extract, removing the impurities, thereby obtaining water
precipitation solution; centrifuging the water
precipitation solution, adding 10-100v% of
ethanol into the obtained precipitate, dissolving to obtain an alcoholic solution of the precipitate; performing
column chromatography on the alcoholic solution of the precipitate; concentrating the eluent obtained by eluting after
column chromatography, adding
ethanol to perform
supersaturation dissolving, thereby obtaining a
crystal; adding the
crystal into
purified water or ethanol for washing, thereby obtaining a primary product; uniformly mixing the primary product by using the
purified water,
drying, thereby obtaining the
cannabidiol. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the highly safe ethanol serves as a
solvent, so that the purity of the
cannabidiol in the finished product is improved, a psychotoxic component, namely
tetrahydrocannabinol, is removed, the product safety is improved, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
