The invention discloses a method for extracting effective components in poria cocos, which comprises the following steps: taking poria cocos raw
powder, adjusting the
moisture content of the poria cocos raw
powder, then extruding the poria cocos raw
powder, keeping the temperature at 30-90 DEG C in the
extrusion process, and collecting poria cocos powder after the
extrusion is completed; the collected poria cocos powder is crushed, dried and dissolved in a
solvent for extraction. According to the method for extracting the effective components in the poria cocos, a traditional method for directly extracting the effective components in the poria cocos by utilizing a
solvent is abandoned, the effective components in the poria cocos are innovatively extracted
after treatment by adopting a low-temperature
extrusion mode before the
solvent is added, and
cell walls of poria cocos powder are damaged in the extrusion process; the dispersion time of the poria cocos powder in a solvent is shortened, and the extraction yield of effective components such as total polysaccharides, total triterpenes and
alcohol-soluble extracts in the poria cocos powder is remarkably improved; extrusion within the temperature range can particularly avoid reduction of total
polysaccharide and
alcohol-
soluble extract components after extraction, and the extraction rate is increased.
