FIELD : nanotechnology; medicine; food industry; cosmetic industry.SUBSTANCE : invention relates to the field of nanotechnology, medicine, cosmetics and the food industry. Method for producing nanocapsules of dry extract of wild yam is characterized by that dry extract of wild yam is added to a suspension of kappa-carrageenan in cyclohexane in presence of 0.01 g of glycerol ester with one or two molecules of edible fatty acids and one or two molecules of citric acid as a surface -active substance while stirring 700?rpm, then adding 7 ml of butyl chloride, obtained suspension of nanocapsules is filtered and dried at room temperature, wherein weight ratio of core : shell is 1 : 1, 1 : 2 or 1 : 3.EFFECT : disclosed is a method of producing nanocapsules of dry extract of wild yam in kappa-carrageenan.1 cl, 3 ex
