The invention discloses a method for extracting and separating
baicalin and
baicalein, which comprises the following steps: S1, weighing
thymol and
menthol, adding the
thymol and the
menthol into a three-neck flask, and heating and stirring to form uniform and transparent liquid as an extracting agent
thymol-
menthol eutectic
solvent; s2, mixing the radix scutellariae
powder with a 50%
ethanol solution, heating, condensing and refluxing twice to obtain an extracting solution, centrifuging, taking supernate, and concentrating to obtain a radix scutellariae extracting solution. And S3, putting the
scutellaria baicalensis extracting solution and an extracting agent into a high-pressure extraction kettle, carrying out pressurized extraction, transferring to a separating funnel, standing for layering, and respectively collecting. And S4, adding water into the lower-layer water phase for
dilution, filtering, heating and stirring, standing at low temperature for
crystallization, carrying out suction
filtration, washing and
drying to obtain purified
baicalin. And S5, adding
ethyl acetate into the upper-layer extraction phase, oscillating and standing, collecting the lower-layer
ethyl acetate, adding
anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtering, concentrating, adding absolute
methanol, standing at low temperature, crystallizing, carrying out suction
filtration, washing and
drying to obtain purified
baicalein. According to the method for extracting and separating the
baicalin and the
baicalein, the yield and the purity of the baicalin and the baicalein can be improved.
