The urea column chromatography is produced the method for linolenic acid and linolenic acid lower member ester
Technical field
The present invention relates to the production method of a kind of linolenic acid or linolenic acid lower member ester.
Background of invention
Linolenic acid can be divided into two kinds of alpha-linolenic acid and gamma-linolenic acids, and they are ten eight carbon atom, three pairs of key straight chain fatty acids, and relative molecular weight is 278.
The chemistry of alpha-linolenic acid (Alpha-Linolenie Acid) is called all-cis formula-9,12, and the 15-punicic acid (Allcis-9,12,15-Oc-tadecatrienoicacid).Alpha-linolenic acid can directly carry out katabolism in vivo, and meta-bolites wherein the most important thing is DHA (docosahexenoic acid) and EPA polyunsaturated fatty acid and PG (prostaglandin(PG)) such as (timnodonic acids) as human body cell film composition.A large amount of fundamental researchs, epidemiology survey, animal experiment and clinical observation show: alpha-linolenic acid has reducing cholesterol content, suppresses irritated, anti-inflammatory; vision protection improves intelligence, and is anti-ageing; effects such as reducing blood-fat are approved by international medical community, nutrition educational circles.In view of alpha-linolenic acid has important physiologically active and human body generally lacks present situation, Food and Argriculture OrganizationFAO announced it as essential composition in the human foods in 1978, and decision was worldwide special again in 1993 promotes.Since the nineties in 20th century, many national legislation regulations such as the U.S. must be added alpha-linolenic acid in assigned food and metabolite can be sold.In April, 2002, hold in China Shanghai in " the healthy international symposium of indispensable fatty acid and human nutrition ", the World Health Organization announces that 21 century threatens human life " four big killers "---cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia.And alpha-linolenic acid has remarkable effect to control " four big killers ", so be decided to be " 21 century green nourishing protective foods " by meeting.
Gamma-linolenic acid (γ-Linolenie acid, GLA.18:3 Δ
6,9,12N-6) being the unsaturated fatty acids of needed by human, is the structured material of each tissue biological's film, also is the precursor of physiologically active substances such as prostaglandin(PG), leukotriene, arachidonic acid.Studies show that that gamma-linolenic acid has is antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV are infected, antitumor, reducing blood-fat and improve effect such as diabetic complication.China was applied to clinical with the Capsulae Radix Oenotherae erythrosepalae form at first in the world as blood lipid-lowering medicine in 1986, Britain's approval evening primrose oil capsule was used for atopic eczema in 1988, nineteen ninety is ratified gamma-linolenic acid again and is described as the leading role of functional foodstuff " 21 century ", life-time service can be corrected disorders of lipid metabolism, plays effects such as body-building, diseases prevention, anti-ageing, enhancing body immunizing power.As medicine of high-grade nutrient oil, foodstuff additive, makeup and treatment disease etc., its DEVELOPMENT PROSPECT is very wide.
Linolenic acid lower member ester has identical physiological function with linolenic acid, and more stable than linolenic acid.The occurring in nature linolenic acid often is present in the Vegetable oil lipoprotein with multiple lipid acid with the form of glyceryl ester jointly, mainly be present in oleum lini, perilla oil, Oleum Hippophae, microula oil, Chinese gooseberry seed oil or the Fructus Zanthoxyli oil as alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid mainly is present in root of Redsepal Eveningprimrose and the blackcurrant oil, the linolenic acid of these forms is unfavorable for the absorption of human body utilization, so, grease need be reacted into the form of the form, particularly ethyl ester of lipid acid or lipid acid lower member ester; But because the structure of various lipid acid or lipid acid lower member ester is close, similar performance brings difficulty for the separation and the purification of linolenic acid and ester thereof.
Domestic and international linolenic isolation technique all concentrates on methods such as molecular distillation, urea clathration, overcritical separation, membrane sepn, silver or cupric ion complexing at present.Patent of invention CN 1414080A utilizes membrane separation technique four times, obtains the enriched substance of lipid acid, obtains product through molecular distillation then; Patent of invention CN 1837179A and CN 1837182A urea adduct method obtain purity respectively greater than 80% alpha-linolenic acid and ethyl linolenate through freezing, press filtration, extraction and molecular distillation then; Patent of invention CN 1181205C and CN 1189567C utilize supercritical methanol technology to carry out Reaction Separation one step and finish and make purer alpha-linolenic acid and Alpha-ethyl linolenate; Patent of invention CN 1053010C and CN 1394944A utilize urea adduct method to make alpha-linolenic acid and Alpha-ethyl linolenate respectively; Patent of invention CN 1095824C utilizes urea adduct method to obtain alpha-linolenic acid more than 90%, then through methods such as over-churning, column chromatography, molecular distillations, obtains purity greater than 95% Alpha-ethyl linolenate; Patent of invention CN 1344706A utilizes the silver ion complexation column chromatography, obtains high-purity Alpha-ethyl linolenate; Patent of invention CN 1219744C utilizes overcritical isolation technique and overcritical silver ion complexation column chromatography for separation to obtain high-purity Alpha-ethyl linolenate; Patent of invention CN 1651396A utilizes cuprous ion complexing column chromatography technology to separate to obtain content greater than 90% Alpha-ethyl linolenate.Separation about gamma-linolenic acid and lower member ester thereof is detected among the patent of invention CN1253426C, utilizes supercritical extraction, recrystallization, urea and fractional distillation method, obtains product.In the above method, molecular distillation and membrane separation technique often need to cooperate other technology as separation means, and be little in batches, conditional request strictness, cost height; Urea adduct method needs a large amount of urea and methyl alcohol, and separating effect is limited, and yield is very low; The complexing of metal ion isolation technique, because complexing action, complexing agent is difficult to carry out recycling, and give in the oil and fat product and introduce heavy metal ion, can cause serious harm to human body, thoroughly removing these heavy metal ion, make product can reach food rank even other standard of pharmaceutical grade, is a challenge greatly for this technology.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide that cost is low, yield is high, the production method of free of contamination a kind of linolenic acid or linolenic acid lower member ester environmental protection.
The present invention is to be raw material with the fatty acid ester that contains linolenic lipid acid or contain linolenic acid lower member ester, and urea or urea load carrier are stationary phase, and column chromatography for separation obtains linolenic acid or linolenic acid lower member ester product.
