The invention discloses an apparatus for extracting grape skin residue polyphenol by pulsed electric field auxiliary counter current, which comprises a pulsed treatment pool and N extraction units, and N is no less than 1; the pulsed treatment pool and N extraction units are arranged in order; a solvent inlet is arranged above the N extraction units, and the lower part of the pulsed treatment pool is provided with an extract outlet. During work, firstly, the solvent is injected into the Nth extraction unit, and the solvent flows from the filled extraction unit into the next extraction unit, and finally the solvent flows from the first extraction unit into the pulsed treatment pool. The invention also discloses a method for realizing extraction of grape skin residue polyphenol by pulsed electric field auxiliary counter current according to the apparatus. The invention solves the problems of long time consuming, low extraction efficiency and complex operation technology when extracting grape skin residue polyphenol by the present traditional method.
