The invention relates to a 
microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction method for separating 
kudzu root total flavone, which comprises the following steps: 1) preparation of an aqueous two-phase 
system: taking an inorganic salt, adding water to dissolve the inorganic salt, and adding an 
organic solvent to obtain a aqueous two-phase extractant; and 2) 
microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction: adding 
kudzu root 
powder into the aqueous two-phase extractant obtained in the step 1), carrying out 
microwave-assisted extraction, and carrying out vacuum 
filtration to obtain an obvious phase-separated 
kudzu root flavone extracting solution. Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the invention has the following advantages: (1) the method is simple to operate and does not need to wait for phase separation; 2) the process is integrated; 3) the extraction process is quick and efficient; 4) the extraction 
solvent is low in 
toxicity; 5) the interfacial tension is small, thereby being beneficial to 
mass transfer between the two phases; 6) abundant impurities can be removed along with 
solid matters, thereby being beneficial to purifying the sample; and 7) the extraction method does not have obvious scale-up effect, can easily implement technique amplification and 
continuous operation, and can be directly connected with the subsequent purification procedure without special treatment.
