Various
glycoside compounds and particularly
glycoside compounds which are unstable, easy to oxidize and difficult to dissolve in water and an
organic solvent are hydrolyzed under the actions of adsorption, dispersion, curing and settlement of macroporous adsorption resin to generate
aglycone or a mixture of the
aglycone and secondary
glucoside, and the macroporous adsorption resin is secondarily eluted or primarily eluted by using an
organic solvent to obtain
aglycone, secondary
glucoside and a mixture of the aglycone and the secondary
glucoside. The invention provides a universal method for preparing the aglycone and the secondary glucoside by using the various
glycoside compounds, the method is simple in operation, almost integrated in
hydrolysis and separation, high in product purity, good in product yield, free of expensive
reagent, capable of realizing repeated utilization of
hydrolysate and the macroporous adsorption resin, environment-friendly, easy for realizing industrial production and low in cost and has great advantages as comparison with an
enzyme hydrolysis method, a
fermentation method and the like. By taking the
hydrolysis of the total
saponin of panax
ginseng as an example, through the hydrolysis of
acetic acid and other acids, more prosapogenins Rh2 of panax
ginseng and
protopanaxadiol aglycones are obtained, but a C17
side chain cyclization product is not obvious.
