The invention relates to a method for preparing
naringin, which is simple in operation, light in
pollution and low in equipment investment, and comprises the following process steps of: taking coarse
powder of pummelo peel, adding water of which the volume is 8 to 12 times the weight of the coarse
powder of pummelo peel into the coarse
powder, soaking at the temperature of between 30 and 80 DEG C for 8 to 24h, performing filter pressing, taking filtrate, adding CaCl3 into the filtrate, uniformly stirring the filtrate added with CaCl3, standing the mixture overnight, filtering, taking the filtrate, adding strong
ammonia water into the filtrate to adjust the pH to between 7 and 8, adsorbing the filtrate added with strong
ammonia water with a macroporous adsorption resin column, eluting with water to remove impurities, eluting with 50 to 90 percent
ethanol, collecting the eluate of which the volume is 3 to 8 times that of the column, reclaiming the
ethanol at reduced pressure, concentrating the eluate, and refrigerating the eluate to separate out
crystal. The
naringin prepared by the method is high in purity and easy to realize industrial enlargement.
