The invention discloses a method for extracting radix 
codonopsis extract. The method comprises the steps that one part of radix 
codonopsis is placed in a 
drying box, radix 
codonopsis is dried till the 
water content of radix codonopsis is smaller than or equal to 5%, and 
grinding is carried out; electronic beams with the strength being 10 kGy are used for 
irradiation; radix codonopsis 
powder is added into 70% ethyl 
alcohol with the pH value being 5, water bath ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 5 min, stirring is carried out for 1 h, suction 
filtration is carried out, first filtrate and first filter residues are obtained, the first filtrate is subjected to rotary 
evaporation, and a mixture A is obtained; the first filter residues are placed in eight parts of 
organic solvent, water ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 5 min, stirring is carried out for 30 min, suction 
filtration is carried out, second filtrate is obtained and subjected to rotary 
evaporation, and a mixture B is obtained; second filter residues are added into 50 parts of deionized water, digesting is carried out for 10 min, the mixture is cooled to 30 DEG C, suction 
filtration is carried out, third filtrate is obtained, reduced pressure 
distillation is carried out, and a mixture C is obtained; the mixture A, the mixture B and the mixture C are placed in 15 parts of absolute ethyl 
alcohol, the mixture is placed in a water bath at the temperature of 50 DEG C, stirring is carried out for 20 min, the mixture is placed in a refrigerator, the temperature is below 5 DEG C, standing is carried out for 10 h, suction filtration is carried out, liquid is filtered out, and the radix 
codonopsis extract is obtained. According to the method, 
nutrient substances in radix codonopsis are efficiently and safely extracted.
