PURPOSE: To prepare coenzyme Q in high purity and recovery, by repeating the extraction and adsorption of a material containing coenzyme Q.
CONSTITUTION: A material containing coenzyme Q, e.g. animal or vegetable tissue, microbial cells, etc. is made to contact with a hydrophilic solvent such as propanol, butanol, acetone, etc. in the presence of water to extract the coenzyme Q, and the extract is treated with a hydrophobic adsorbent such as silica gel, porous synthetic resin, etc. to adsorb the coenzyme Q from the extract liquid. The extraction treatment and the adsorption treatment are repeated preventing the contact of the extraction raw material with the adsorbent, and the adsorption residue obtained by the adsorption treatment, is if necessary, reused as the extractant.
