The present invention relates to a method for preparing
yohimbine by using supercritical extraction combined with
steaming technology. The method solves the technical problems of incomplete extraction of existing
yohimbine, low yield, complex process, long
production cycle, high cost, and unsuitability for industrial production. The present invention relates to a method for preparing
yohimbine by using supercritical extraction combined with
steaming technology, comprising the following steps: 1) crushing the
raw material, heating and
steaming; 2) performing supercritical gradient extraction, extracting twice in total, and collecting the second supercritical extraction paste; 3) adding a mixed
solvent to the second supercritical extraction paste, stirring, filtering and collecting the precipitate; 4) using an
organic solvent to heat dissolve the precipitate, adding an adsorbent for adsorption, filtering and collecting the filtrate, concentrating the filtrate and standing it until the crystals are completely precipitated, filtering and collecting the crystals again, rinsing and
drying the crystals in sequence, and obtaining yohimbine.
