The invention provides a method and process for extracting total asiaticoside from
centella asiatica, and relates to the technical field of organic
chemical agent manufacturing, and the extraction method comprises the following steps: pretreating and crushing raw materials; performing water
reflux extraction; adsorbing and purifying by using
macroporous resin; carrying out
alcohol precipitation impurity removal and concentration, controlling the
evaporation temperature and the vacuum degree in the concentration process to adjust the feeding flow rate, so that the liquid
medicine uniformly forms a film, and concentrating until the
specific gravity of the liquid
medicine is 1.2 to obtain thick paste; and closing the
heating system after concentration is finished. According to the invention, the heat
loss rate of asiaticoside can be reduced, the output is increased, and the circulation rate is increased through a condensation
recovery system, so that the consumable cost and the equipment cost are effectively reduced, efficient and mild material treatment is realized through a falling film
evaporation technology, and by utilizing the synergistic effect of film flow and vacuum low temperature, the product quality is improved. And the
solvent is quickly removed within an extremely short
heating time, so that the heat-sensitive asiaticoside is protected from being degraded and discolored to the greatest extent.
