The invention relates to a novel extraction method of sodium chondroitin sulfate, particularly sodium chondroitin sulfate extracted by alkali-enzymolysis. The method mainly solves the problems of complex process, high alkali / acid or salt consumption, higher production cost, long extraction period, low product quality stability, lower yield and the like in the current like product production technique. The method mainly comprises the following steps: by using animal cartilage as a raw material, carrying out alkaline hydrolysis and one-step enzymolysis, thereby extracting the sodium chondroitin sulfate from the animal cartilage. The product has the advantages of white color, loose powder, high yield (up to 30% or above) and high purity, and conforms to the quality standard for oral administration. The method has the characteristics of simple production procedure, short period, low cost and the like, is simple to operate and easy to implement, is helpful to relieving the environmental pollution, and is beneficial to environment friendliness.
