The invention provides an enzymatic pretreatment assisted 
curcumin extraction technology. The enzymatic pretreatment assisted 
curcumin extraction technology comprises steps as follows: after 1 part of 
curcuma powder is taken, ground, sieved, added with water and stirred uniformly, the mixture is subjected to water bath for 60 min and is cooled to the constant temperature of 52-58 DEG C, and 
curcuma pulp is obtained; compound 
enzyme comprising 
cellulase, 
amylase and 
papain is added to the 
curcuma pulp and reacts for 2-4 h, and enzymatic 
hydrolysate is obtained; the enzymatic 
hydrolysate is taken, added with an 
ethanol solution and homogenized for 1-2 min under the condition of 8,000-9,000 r / min, and a 
curcumin extracting solution is obtained; finally, a flocculant is added to the extracting solution, the mixture is stirred and filtered, a 
clear liquid flows through an 
activated carbon chromatographic column and is eluted with an alkaline solution, and a curcumin desorbed solution is obtained. The technology has the advantages of high extraction speed, low temperature, low 
energy consumption, high yield of the effective component curcumin, stable product quality and controllable 
reaction conditions, and is applicable to industrial large-scale production.
