A method for extracting one or more components of a raw material by using citrus fruits as a raw material comprising the following stages: preliminary freezing of the raw material at a temperature higher than the freezing temperature before the stage of freezing the raw material; freeze raw material; crush frozen matter at a controlled temperature; and immersing the raw material in an alcohol having an alcohol concentration of 30% to 60% to extract one or more components of the raw material; and where the controlled temperature is not higher than the fragility temperature of limonene and / or citrus fruit essential oil; and the average grain size of the crushed matter is from 1 μm to 200 μm; where the term "fragility temperature" means the temperature at which the frozen matter quickly becomes fragile, that is, fragile and easily breakable, at low temperature, and the fragility temperature is determined by representing the core temperature of the sample versus The breaking load and the temperature at which the breaking load shows the most notable decrease is known as the brittleness temperature.Un método para extraer uno o más componentes de una materia prima mediante el uso de frutas cítricas como materia prima que comprende las siguientes etapas: congelar preliminarmente la materia prima a una temperatura superior a la temperatura de congelación antes dela etapa de congelar la materia prima; congelar la materia prima; triturar la materia congelada a una temperatura controlada; y sumergir la materia prima en un alcohol que tiene una concentración de alcohol del 30 % al 60 % para extraer uno o más componentes de la materia prima; y donde la temperatura controlada no es más alta que la temperatura de fragilidad del limoneno y / o aceite esencial de frutas cítricas; y el tamaño de grano promedio de la materia triturada es de 1 μm a 200 μm; donde el término "temperatura de fragilidad" significa la temperatura a la cual la materia congelada se vuelve frágil rápidamente,
