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.
