The preparation method of L-carnitine nitrate
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of a seed amino acid nitrate, specifically is the preparation method of the L-carnitine nitrate that a kind of quality is good, yield is high, cost is low.
Background technology
The L-carnitine (L-carnitine) claim L-carnitine again.Another name L-carnitine, DL-carnitine chloride.Chemical name is beta-hydroxy γ-TMA (TriMethylAmine) butyric acid.It is a kind of amino acid that impels fat to be converted into energy.Human body is had no side effect.The L-carnitine extensively exists as alkali components in muscle, can extract from the meat of pig, calf, horse etc. usually.
Existing document shows, the L-carnitine for the growing of animal, breed, health is extremely important.It has the β-Yang Hua that promotes lipid acid, reduces the content of serum cholesterol and triglyceride level, improves important physiological function such as body tolerance.
The secretory volume of L-carnitine becomes with exercise intensity.When high pressure training, it can guarantee that body avoids the disadvantageous effect of hyperammonemia.Therefore it can add in the drinking-water, drinks for the sportsmen, makes the sportsmen when high pressure training, keeps each metabolic balance in the body, avoids health to come to harm.
The L-carnitine can help fat-reducing, though when using carnitine separately, may be helpless to the minimizing of fat, it can influence the metabolism of fat of body, speed and the loss speed of ratio that its consumption is lost greater than muscle, and make the go on a diet tolerance raising in stage of people.Being particularly suitable for people cooperates and to do aerobic exercise and come fat reducing.Effect is apparent in view.
Along with Developing of Animal Industry, synthetic convenient and safe, growth promoter efficiently is the focus of medicine and trophology research always.In feed, add high-copper, microbiotic, beta-stimulants and injection tethelin etc., have shortcomings such as environmental pollution, drug residue, food safety and operation be loaded down with trivial details, be difficult to promote the use of aborning.The L-carnitine is because it is easy to use, can play under certain condition and improve sow reproductive performance, improve piglet survival ratio, reduce the thickness of backfat, improve the effect such as quality of meat and egg and come into one's own day by day, and also carry out corresponding research and utilization in medical and food service industry as a kind of novel fodder additives.
Experiment shows that the L-carnitine is a kind of essential nutrients, in the international nutrition academic conference that 1985 hold in Chicago, the L-carnitine is appointed as " multifunctional and nutritional product ".
The L-carnitine has been applied to fields such as medicine, health care and food at present, and has been defined as legal multipurpose nutritive agent by Switzerland, France, the U.S. and the World Health Organization.China foodstuff additive hygienic standard GB2960-1996 has stipulated that L-carnitine-L-tartrate is a food enrichment, can be applicable to aspects such as chewable tablet, drink liquid, capsule, milk powder and milky-drinks.
Because L-carnitine salt becomes the L-carnitine at last through conversions such as oxydase in vivo, is absorbed by health easily.So now the L-carnitine is all made L-carnitine salt and taken, products such as noted above L-carnitine-L-tartrate and L-carnitine hydrochloride are domestic all manufacturer production.The U.S. parties concerned discover that amino acid whose nitrate more helps the amino acid absorption in vivo recently, therefore the L-carnitine are made into the L-carnitine nitrate, with the easier L-carnitine that changes into, are absorbed by health.Dosage can be littler when therefore it used, and oral absorption efficient can be higher.But the producer that does not also have suitability for industrialized production L-carnitine nitrate product at present in the world.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is in order to solve the problem of L-carnitine nitrate large-scale production, and provide a kind of can suitability for industrialized production and yield height, the preparation method of the L-carnitine nitrate that product purity is high.
The technical scheme that the present invention takes is: a kind of preparation method of L-carnitine nitrate: in stirring under 10 ℃~25 ℃ temperature nitric acid is added drop-wise in the L-carnitine, the mol ratio of L-carnitine and nitric acid is 1: 1~1.1.Temperature of reaction is at 40 ℃~70 ℃, and molten clarification gradually is 1~2 with nitric acid regulator solution pH; Decompression dehydration after continuation was stirred and is incubated 15~30 minutes after solution was clarified, the product after the dehydration is air-dry in 50 ℃~70 ℃ stirrings, gets L-carnitine nitrate finished product after 75 ℃ again~85 ℃ dryings.
A kind of preparation method of L-carnitine nitrate: in stirring under 20 ℃ ± 2 ℃ temperature nitric acid is added drop-wise in the L-carnitine, the mol ratio of L-carnitine and nitric acid is 1: 1; 60 ℃ ± 5 ℃ of temperature of reaction, solution is clarified gradually, is 2 with nitric acid regulator solution pH; Decompression dehydration after solution clarification back is stirred and is incubated 20 minutes, the product after the dehydration is air-dry in 60 ℃ ± 5 ℃ stirrings, gets L-carnitine nitrate finished product after 80 ℃ of dryings again.
The condition of decompression dehydration is in the above-mentioned preparation process: temperature is 50 ℃~65 ℃, and vacuum tightness is more than 500 mmhg.
Advantage and positively effect that the present invention has are: the present invention adopts L-carnitine and nitric acid to react the reaction conditions gentleness under normal pressure.The present invention adopts the high-quality food grade L-carnitine and the nitric acid of chemical reagent-grade, so the L-carnitine nitrate product impurity of producing is few, quality is good, just reach more than 99% without recrystallization purity, both guaranteed quality, save operation and production time again, improved production efficiency, reduced cost.Preparation were established of the present invention rationally, simply is fit to industrialized production, and yield reaches more than 98%.
Embodiment
The present invention adopts the L-carnitine of food grade and the nitric acid of chemical reagent-grade to react the reaction conditions gentleness under normal pressure.The mol ratio of L-carnitine and nitric acid is 1: 1, but for the L-carnitine is reacted completely, the add-on of nitric acid is more bigger than L-carnitine.The concentration of nitric acid that the present invention adopts is 65~68%.Because the concentration of nitric acid difference, so add-on has certain variation, but and the ratio of 1 mole of L-carnitine all between 1 to 1.1 mole.
The solubleness of L-carnitine of the present invention in water is big, and the water in the nitric acid just can be molten entirely with the L-carnitine, therefore need not add water.But the reaction of L-carnitine and nitric acid is thermopositive reaction, and violent for fear of reaction, it is too fast to heat up, the untimely decomposition that causes of dispelling the heat, and temperature must be low when beginning to react, between 10 ℃ to 25 ℃.Generally maintain 20 ℃ ± 2 ℃, and the speed of control nitric acid adding, the method that drips taked.Because therefore the low temperature effect speed of response is dripped at nitric acid and is finished back raising temperature of reaction.General temperature is preferably in 60 ℃ ± 5 ℃ below 70 ℃.But also can when just beginning to drip nitric acid, control low temperature, control rate of addition and temperature subsequently, utilize the temperature of the heat reacting by heating solution of reaction generation, fast reaction speed.Temperature of reaction can not surpass 70 ℃, otherwise the L-carnitine can be damaged, and influences the yield of final product.Along with temperature raises, speed of response is accelerated, and solution is more and more clarified, and stirs all the time in this process, makes reactant distribution even, and reaction is accelerated.Reaction finishes when solution is clarified fully.Also need continue to stir insulation 15~30 minutes this moment.
It is acid that product L-carnitine nitrate of the present invention is, and pH should be 2.Generally finishing before measurement pH in reaction, if acidity less than 2, drips nitric acid, is 2 with nitric acid control pH value of solution.Because the mol ratio of nitric acid is slightly larger than the L-carnitine when producing, so if pH allows, can not influence quality product between 2 and 1.
The solubleness of L-carnitine nitrate in reaction soln is big among the present invention, and it all is the crystallisate and the water of L-carnitine nitrate that reaction finishes in the container of back, can't separate, and therefore adopts the decompression method dehydration.Decompression method is an industry common technology.The vacuum tightness of decompression dehydration is more than 500 mmhg, and temperature is 50 ℃~65 ℃.Because dehydration back product is thick, can't further remove moisture with the drying method, so that the reactant after will dewatering carries out is air-dry, air-dry method also is an industry common technology, in 50 ℃~70 ℃ scopes, stir incessantly when air-dry,, take away moisture to accelerate air flowing.
The present invention to the exsiccant method without limits, every suitable L-carnitine nitrate exsiccant method can be used, as methods such as moisture eliminator, spray method dryings.The exsiccant temperature is 75 ℃~85 ℃, and temperature is low excessively, and product can conglomeration.Temperature surpasses 85 ℃, and the L-carnitine nitrate can decompose, and quality is affected.Present embodiment adopts 80 ℃ of dryings.
