(c) in the glucosides solution of step (b), add anti-solvent, so that to of form crystallization from glucosides solution of small part rebandioside A with the rebandioside A composition of purification.
Step (a):
Method of the present invention is used to purify and contains the initial composition of rebandioside A, to form highly purified rebandioside A composition.Usually, this initial composition is to use known technology to derive from stevioside plant, and for example optional first preliminary treatment (as extracting fat and/or other compound) of this known technology re-uses water or solvent-aqueous solution extracts the diterpene glucosides from the STEVIA REBAUDIANA leaf.Pretreatment operation can comprise clarification and decolouring step (for example using flocculant, adsorbent and/or solvent extraction), and can randomly comprise by the mode of ion-exchange and remove ash content.Subsequently, can handle or make up and finish further purification by selecting absorption, solvent.At last, initial feed can be purified by crystallization and drying.Useful initial composition contains rebandioside A, and also contains in other glucosides one or more, as rebandioside B, rebandioside C, rebandioside D, rebandioside E, rebandioside F, steviol glycoside and dulcitol glucoside.
In many embodiments, initial composition contains the above rebandioside A of 40 weight % of having an appointment, the rebandioside A of for example about 40-95 weight %.Steviol glycoside also is present in the initial composition usually.In some embodiments, the amount of steviol glycoside existence reaches about 40 weight % of initial composition.Other glucosides that may reside in the initial composition comprises, for example rebandioside B, rebandioside C, rebandioside D and rebandioside F.Common initial composition contains the rebandioside B that for example is not higher than about 8 weight %, the rebandioside C that is not higher than about 10 weight %, the rebandioside F that is not higher than about 2 weight % is not higher than the dulcitol glucoside of about 1 weight %, and the rebandioside D that is not higher than about 4 weight %.Rebandioside E also may reside in the initial composition.
Advantageously, method of the present invention can be used for from having very the initial composition of the rebandioside A of the low-purity rebandioside A of purifying.For example, method of the present invention can be used for producing the rebandioside A of purifying from the initial composition with the rebandioside A (rebandioside A of for example about 40-60 weight %) that is lower than about 60 weight %.
Step (b):
In the method for the invention, initial composition is dissolved in the solvent compositions to form solution.Usually, be added into initial composition in the solvent compositions and stir this solvent compositions, so that this initial composition is dissolved in the solvent compositions.This initial composition can be added in the solvent compositions with constant relatively in time speed, perhaps one or many adds discontinuously.Usually, near under the room temperature, for example about 20-25 ℃ is dissolved in initial composition in the solvent compositions.Can also slightly heat this solvent compositions within the scope of the invention, to help to dissolve this initial composition.For example, this solvent compositions can be heated to about 20-70 ℃ temperature, more typically be heated to about 60-70 ℃.
Useful solvent compositions comprises: (i) mixture of lower alcohol (for example C1-C3 alcohol) and water, or the (ii) mixture of low-grade carboxylic acid and water.The example of lower alcohol comprises methyl alcohol, ethanol and propyl alcohol (for example normal propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol).Can also use the two or more alcohol and the mixture of water.In many embodiments, based on the gross weight of described solvent compositions, solvent compositions contains the lower alcohol of the 20-80 weight % that has an appointment and the water of about 20-80 weight %.More typically, this solvent compositions contains the lower alcohol of the 30-70 weight % that has an appointment and the water of about 30-70 weight %.In the exemplary embodiment, solvent compositions contains the lower alcohol of the 40-60 weight % that has an appointment and the water of about 40-60 weight %, the water of the lower alcohol of perhaps about 45-55 weight % and about 45-55 weight %.In the exemplary embodiment, initial composition contains the ethanol of the 50 weight % that have an appointment and the water of about 50 weight %.
Low-grade carboxylic acid's example comprises acetate, formic acid and propionic acid, although can also use other low-grade carboxylic acid.When as solvent, the low-grade carboxylic acid exists with the amount of about 30-90 weight % usually, and water exists with the amount of about 10-70 weight % usually.More typically, the low-grade carboxylic acid exists with the amount of about 50-90 weight %, and water exists with the amount of 10-50 weight %.In the exemplary embodiment, solvent compositions is the acetate of 50 weight % and the water of 50 weight %.
Common component of inciting somebody to action before adding the rebandioside A initial composition separately mixes and prepares solvent compositions.Yet, the rebandioside A initial composition can also be dissolved in a kind of composition of solvent compositions, add the second one-tenth then and assign to constitute solvent compositions.
When being dissolved in initial composition in the solvent compositions, resulting glucosides solution contains the solid of dissolving of this initial composition of the 15-50 weight % that has an appointment and the solvent of about 50-85 weight % usually.In some embodiments, glucosides solution contains the have an appointment solid of 30-50 weight % dissolving and the solvent of about 50-70 weight %.
Step (c):
After forming glucosides solution, in this glucosides solution, add the anti-solvent of effective dose to cause the crystallization of rebandioside A.When adding the anti-solvent of effective dose, resulting glucosides solution has surpassed (comprising anti-solvent) solubility limit of rebandioside A, causes that thus rebandioside A crystallizes out from glucosides solution.Because other glucosides that is present in this glucosides solution remains on it below solubility limit, so rebandioside A preferably crystallizes out from this solution.
Useful anti-solvent comprises the material of the solubility limit of effective change rebandioside A in glucosides solution.More particularly, effective anti-solvent not only can be miscible in glucosides solution but also can reduce the solvability of water by the dielectric constant that reduces solution.Usually, anti-solvent be can with the miscible liquid of water and polarity usually less than water.The example of representational anti-solvent comprises that lower alcohol (as C1-C3 alcohol) is as methyl alcohol, ethanol and propyl alcohol (normal propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol).Can also use acetoneand ethyl acetate.Anti-solvent can be be present in solvent compositions in identical lower alcohol or can be different lower alcohols.
In the method for the invention, in glucosides solution, add anti-solvent, be present in crystallizing out to the small part rebandioside A in the glycoside composition to cause with effective dose.The amount of needed anti-solvent can depend on Several Factors, comprises amount, crystallization temperature and the solution temperature of other glucosides impurity in the composition of solvent compositions for example, the composition of initiation material, the amount that is present in rebandioside A in the said composition, the solution.Usually, the quality of the anti-solvent that adds with respect to the quality of solvent in the glucosides solution is about 0.5: 1 to about 9: 1.More typically, with respect to the quality of glucosides solution, the quality of anti-solvent is about 2: 1 to about 3: 1.
Can use batch crystallization process or continuous crystallisation process to carry out the crystallization of rebandioside A.In batch process, initial composition, solvent and anti-solvent are all added in the single container that crystallization takes place.After obtaining crystal, can repeat this process.In the continuous crystallisation process, the mixture of charging glucosides is dissolved in the solvent solution.With resulting mixture with in the continuous suction crystallisation vessel of pump.Simultaneously, when mixing, anti-solvent is used in the pump suction crystallisation vessel with the amount that will produce the final anti-solvent strength that needs with solvent and solute mixture.Crystallization occurs in this container, because the continued presence crystal seed, therefore usually than in batch container, having higher speed.Extract product slurry out container with pump continuously with the identical speed of summation that flows into solvent and anti-solvent, therefore kept volume constant in the crystallizer.Filter and centrifugal product slurry, dry then, obtain final products.The solvent that is used for this process can reclaim by distilling.The solute that dissolves when crystallization finishes be can be recovered in, and charging or independent the use are circulated to.
Can be in glucosides solution once add (that is, in interpolation once, adding whole amounts) anti-solvent or can repeatedly add.In some embodiments, anti-solvent is added in glucosides solution with constant in time interpolation speed.The speed of adding anti-solvent in glucosides solution can influence the purity of formed rebandioside A crystal.For example, once add anti-solvent and can cause rebandioside A rapid crystallization from glucosides solution, the purity that causes the rebandioside A crystal is than slowly anti-solvent being added in time or repeatedly to be added into the purity of the formed rebandioside A crystal of glucosides solution on a small quantity low.
Usually, will resist solvent to be added in the glucosides solution, and two kinds of materials all are maintained at about under the room temperature, 20 ± 5 ℃ according to appointment.After adding anti-solvent,, follow the stirring that relaxes to moderate, make rebandioside A from glucosides solution, crystallize out near making resulting glucosides solution left standstill under the room temperature.Usually, add anti-solvent after rebandioside A at about 24 hours intercrystallines.The speed of crystallization is usually along with the reduction of the purity of rebandioside A initiation material and reduce.
