In the selection manner of the active ingredient from the plant or the mushroom, agitating under the condition, in the container which closes the blend which consists of with the said material 1 weight section and the water 2 - 7 weight sections, with viewpoint of pressure for giving high shear force at temperature of 100 - the 250 the manner which features that it includes the process which selects the active ingredient the fragmentation blend which consists of the water phase which includes the active ingredient the said material by fragmentation, and the solid material residue fragmentation profit, by recovering the said water phase next to average of maximum measurement of 1 - 20 millimicrons,植物またはキノコからの有効成分の抽出方法において、該物質1重量部と水2~7重量部とから成る混合物を、圧力の観点で閉じた容器中で100~250℃の温度で高剪断力を与える条件下で攪拌して該物質を1~20μmの最大寸法の平均値へと破砕することによって、有効成分を含む水相および破砕された固形物質残渣からなる破砕混合物を得、次に該水相を回収することによって、有効成分を抽出する工程を含むことを特徴とする方法。
