The invention relates to a preparation method of an edible Chinese
mugwort extract. The preparation method comprises the steps of step (1) thoroughly cleaning Chinese
mugwort stems and leaves free from
pathogen infestation, soaking the cleaned Chinese
mugwort stems and leaves in a
sodium chloride aqueous solution, and performing ultrasonic treatment and
ozone sterilization and disinfection duringsoaking; step (2) immersing the
cut-up Chinese mugwort stems and leaves in
liquid nitrogen, performing scooping up, performing freeze-
drying, putting small broken segments into a fine crushing
machine, and performing crushing to obtain stem and leaf
powder; step (3) putting the stem and leaf
powder into a
solvent, and performing soaking; step (4) placing the stem and leaf
powder and the
solvent inan extraction kettle to obtain a preliminary Chinese
mugwort extract; and step (5) putting the preliminary Chinese
mugwort extract in a
distillation column, performing high-temperature
distillation,enabling gas generated after
distillation to flow out of the top of the distillation column, performing
liquefaction on the gas through a condensing tube to obtain liquid, and enabling the liquid to enter a collecting tube so as to obtain the Chinese
mugwort extract. According to the preparation method of the Chinese mugwort extract disclosed by the invention, loss of effective components in a Chinese mugwort extraction process can be effectively avoided, quality and yield of Chinese mugwort extracts are increased, and industrialized production is easy to realize.
