The invention relates to the technical field of functional sugar processing and extraction, and discloses an erythritol extraction method, which comprises the following steps: fermentation liquid preparation, ceramic membrane filtration, carbon filtration, decoloration, primary crystallization, dissolution and condensation, secondary crystallization, centrifugation, and drying and packaging, the original process flow requiring two times of dissolution and condensation is changed, the process flow is simplified, the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. The defect of long extraction period of the original process is changed, the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved; ultrafiltration of a traditional process is replaced by carbon filtration, secondary investment of equipment is avoided, and the equipment cost is greatly reduced; through vacuum cooling, the speed is high, the defects of forced circulation, slow cooling and 15 h/batch cooling time of a traditional process are overcome, 5 h/batch of products in each batch can be controlled, and the crystal form is good.
