The invention relates to a method for extracting high-purity
steviol glycosides from
stevia rebaudiana. The method comprises the following steps: (1) soaking a ground
stevia rebaudiana raw material into water, and adding a
cellulase preparation for enzymolysis; (2) carrying out heating extraction and
centrifugation, and filtering, so as to obtain
stevia rebaudiana enzyme extraction liquid; (3) carrying out water-bath heating on the stevia rebaudiana
enzyme extraction liquid, adding an inorganic salt flocculating agent, stirring, flocculating, carrying out
centrifugation, and filtering, so as to obtain stevia rebaudiana edulcorated liquid; (4) carrying out decolorization adsorption on the stevia rebaudiana edulcorated liquid by virtue of a macroporous adsorption resin column, carrying out
elution through eluent, carrying out
nanofiltration, and concentrating, so as to obtain a stevia rebaudiana concentrated liquid; and (5) carrying out silica-gel
column chromatography and
elution on the stevia rebaudiana concentrated liquid, collecting each fraction, concentrating, and
drying, so as to obtain multiple high-purity
steviol glycosides products. The purity of the products obtained by virtue of the method can reach up to 98.4%, and the final yield is more than 90%; the residual amounts of
ethanol and
ethyl ester are low, so that the method is
environmentally friendly and safe; the method is simple in process, high in
operability, low in
energy consumption and cost and applicable to industrial production.
