It is found in many plants, such as the whole grass of the rhododendron, the leaves of the huckleberry, and so on.It can also be chemically synthesized.The leaves of bear fruit were crushed, washed, boiled with water, extracted twice, combined with the water extract and concentrated to the shape of syrup under reduced pressure. Then methanol was added to dissolve it, and the methanol insoluble was filtered out. The crude arbutin was obtained after methanol recovery under reduced pressure.If in the water with activated carbon decolorization, filtration, recrystallization, arbutin is obtained.
