No caffeine tea polyphenols and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to not have caffeine tea polyphenols and preparation method thereof, belong to the separation and Extraction field.
Background technology
Tea polyphenols is the important active component of tea Ye Zhongyi class, content is generally accounting for 18%~36% of dry weight of tea leaves, it is a kind of natural antioxidant, can be widely used in industries such as food, medicine, health product and cosmetics, also possesses blood fat reducing and blood glucose simultaneously, blood pressure lowering and cholesterol, functions such as arteriosclerosis, mutation and anticancer change, defying age, antioxidation, and be used for the multiple disease of clinical treatment.
At present, the method for preparing tea polyphenols mainly contains solvent extraction, resin absorption partition method and supercritical extraction.Solvent extraction is that tea polyphenols is produced the technology that the most generally adopts at present, its yield height, and cost is low, but product quality is lower, content of caffeine height, organic solvent residual height, Environmental costs height.But resin adsorption method production purity high product can reduce simultaneously organic solvent and use, but has the shortcoming that yield is lower, cost is high, the cycle is long, and can not effectively remove coffee thereby influence the quality of tea polyphenols.Supercritical extraction with an organic solvent also can not get the low-caffeine tea polyphenols, but product impurity is many, product purity is not high, and equipment input and maintenance cost are too high, operating condition is strict, realize that suitability for industrialized production also has certain difficulty.
Tea polyphenols purity height, particularly caffeine and catechin content have directly determined the quality and the purposes of product.Therefore, no caffeine of preparation and the high tea polyphenols of catechin content become the technical barrier that this area presses for solution at present.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of method for preparing no caffeine tea polyphenols.
The method that the present invention prepares no caffeine tea polyphenols comprises the steps:
A, raw material prepare: contain caffeine tea polyphenols, contain at least a in the Folium Camelliae sinensis extract of caffeine, through concentrating or being dissolved in water (if raw material is a solution, then concentrate, if raw material is solid or semisolid, then be dissolved in water,, preferably prepare the solution of high concentration for the ease of chromatography, to satisfy the isolating needs of gel chromatography) after-filtration (being preferably membrane filtration), the gained filtrate for later use;
B, gel chromatography separate: a step gained filtrate is gone up sample to gel chromatography column, alcoholic solution with 5~25wt% is eluted to outflow 1.3~1.7BV eluent, it is 1.8~2.5BV that the alcoholic solution of using 50~70wt% then instead continues to be eluted to effusive eluent, collect the eluent of the alcoholic solution of 50~70wt%, concentrate the eluent of collecting, dry (preferred vacuum lyophilization) obtains tea polyphenols; Wherein, the used filler of described gel permeation chromatography is sephadex lh-20 or cross-linking dextran agarose gel.
Wherein, the tea polyphenols that contains caffeine in the above-mentioned a step, the Folium Camelliae sinensis extract that contains caffeine can adopt the commercially available prod, also can prepare voluntarily.As the Folium Camelliae sinensis extract that contains caffeine can adopt following method to be prepared from: adopt water or alcoholic solution lixiviate Folium Camelliae sinensis, filter then, concentrate, obtain containing the Folium Camelliae sinensis extract of caffeine.
Wherein, when water or alcoholic solution lixiviate Folium Camelliae sinensis, the consumption of water or alcoholic solution is that conventional amount used gets final product, further, the consumption of water or alcoholic solution is preferably 6~70 times of Folium Camelliae sinensis weight, and the consumption of water or alcoholic solution most preferably is 15~30 times of Folium Camelliae sinensis weight.
Wherein, the alcoholic solution of concentration comprises that straight alcohol solution (being the above alcoholic solution of 95wt%) may be used to the lixiviate of Folium Camelliae sinensis arbitrarily, and in order to reduce cost, the concentration of alcoholic solution is preferably 0~40wt% described in the above-mentioned a step.
Wherein,, in order to make not residual any organic reagent in the product, and reduce cost, preferably adopt water (boiling water) lixiviate Folium Camelliae sinensis because water (boiling water) lixiviate Folium Camelliae sinensis does not have notable difference with comparing with tea polyphenols in the alcoholic solution lixiviate Folium Camelliae sinensis.
Wherein, when preparation contains the Folium Camelliae sinensis extract of caffeine, can adopt conventional method to concentrate, method for concentration is preferably vacuum rotary steam and concentrates.
Further, in order to improve the quality of product, the flow velocity of above-mentioned b step during with the alcoholic solution eluting of 5~25wt% is preferably 0.5~1.0BV/h, and the flow velocity of b step during with the alcoholic solution eluting of 50~70wt% is preferably 0.5~1.0BV/h.
Further, in order to improve the quality of product, the b step of the inventive method most preferably is: gel chromatography separates: a step gained filtrate is gone up sample to gel chromatography column, be eluted to the flow velocity of 0.8BV/h with the alcoholic solution of 20wt% and flow out the 1.5BV eluent, continuing to be eluted to effusive eluent with the alcoholic solution of 65wt% with the flow velocity of 0.8BV/h then is 2BV, collects the eluent of 1.5~2BV, concentrates and collects liquid, drying obtains tea polyphenols.
Wherein, the used filler of the described gel permeation chromatography of above-mentioned b step is preferably sephadex lh-20.
The present invention also provides by the prepared no caffeine tea polyphenols of said method.
The inventive method is simple to operate, the production efficiency height, and economic environmental protection, it is residual that product does not have toxic reagent, and it is reliable to be used for industrial securities such as food, medicine.The inventive method gained tea polyphenols purity can reach more than 98%, and is decaffeinated, is rich in catechin (catechin content can reach more than 90%), and wherein the strongest EGCG content of antioxidant activity is more than 60%.The present invention has broad application prospects for tea polyphenols production high-quality, high added value provides a kind of new selection
