The invention discloses a
plant extract composition. The
plant extract composition is prepared by mixing a
paullinia cupana fruit extract and
lycium barbarum
polysaccharide according to a
mass ratio of 1:(1-5). A preparation method of the
paullinia cupana fruit extract comprises the following steps: (1)
paullinia cupana fruits are dried and crushed, an
ionic liquid ethanol solution is added, aftersealed infiltration is conducted for 1-2 h, a 30-50 V / V%
ethanol solution is added, heating is conducted to achieve the
reflux temperature,
reflux extraction is conducted for 1-2 hours, filtering isconducted, filtrate is collected, and concentrating is conducted to obtain a crude extract; and (2) the crude extract is diluted with a proper amount of water,
hydrochloric acid is added to adjust a pH value to 2.0-5.0, extracting with
diethyl ether is conducted for 2-3 times, organic phases are combined, concentrating under reduced pressure is conducted, and
drying is conducted. Compared with theprior art, a smaller amount of paullinia cupana fruits is adopted, so that the production cost is reduced, and the technical effect of better inhibiting
tyrosinase activity is further achieved.
