Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for extracting and preparing high-purity water-soluble oleuropein, in particular to a method for extracting and preparing oleuropein under the assistance of reduced pressure and ultrasound.
Background
The folium Canarii albi is leaf of Olea europaea (Oleaeuropagaeal) of Olea of Oleaceae, and mainly contains secoiridoid and its glycoside, flavone and its glycoside, biflavone and its glycoside, and low molecular tannin. The main component of the olive leaf extract is iridoid bitter substances, and the Oleuropein (Oleuropein) with the highest activity is used. Oleuropein has a molecular weight of 540.5, CAS number: 32619-42-4.
Oleuropein is a phenol and flavonoid substance with a bimolecular structure, has a melting point of 87-89 ℃, is easy to absorb moisture, and can be decomposed when exposed to air and sunlight. The health-care tea has the important health-care functions of resisting oxidation, resisting tumors, delaying senility, enhancing cardiovascular function, treating chronic prostatitis, enhancing immunity, regulating endocrine system, protecting liver, resisting inflammation and the like, has the pharmacological actions of reducing blood fat and blood sugar, and is widely applied to important fields of food, cosmetics, biopharmaceuticals and the like.
Oleuropein has strong antibacterial and antiviral properties, and can be used for preparing medicine for treating diseases caused by virus, bacteria, protozoa, parasite and blood fluke, and treating common cold. Oleuropein can also protect skin cells from being damaged by ultraviolet rays, prevent ultraviolet rays from decomposing skin membrane lipids, promote fibroblasts to generate collagen, reduce the secretion of collagenase of the fibroblasts and resist glycan reaction of tissue cell membranes, thereby highly protecting the fibroblasts, naturally resisting the skin damage caused by oxidation, preventing the skin from being damaged by the ultraviolet rays, effectively maintaining the skin tenderness and elasticity and achieving the effects of protecting and tendering the skin. At present, oleuropein with high water solubility and 90 percent of content is mainly used in skin care products, can protect skin cells from being damaged by ultraviolet rays, effectively maintains the skin to be tender and elastic, and achieves the effects of strengthening and tendering the skin.
The extraction, separation and purification technology of the oleuropein is disclosed at present, generally, an alcohol extraction method or an alkali extraction method is adopted to extract effective components in olive leaves, and then a series of separation and purification steps such as column chromatography and the like are carried out to obtain the high-purity oleuropein, but in the traditional process, resin adsorption or filter membrane purification is required to be used for further improving the product content, so that the energy consumption is high, the material consumption is high, the time consumption is long, the product yield is low, and the industrial pollution is high; and due to the characteristics of low melting point, easy decomposition and the like, the general thermal extraction method is often decomposed in the extraction process, and finally the yield is low. Thus, the use of a single extraction method has certain disadvantages.
Patent CN102532217A discloses a method for extracting and separating high-content oleuropein from olive leaves, which comprises the following steps: cutting folium Canarii albi, extracting at low temperature, filtering, concentrating or directly performing chromatography, concentrating at low temperature, and drying to obtain oleuropein product with content of more than 80%. The method takes ethanol or water with certain concentration as an extraction solvent for low-temperature extraction, utilizes a resin series connection or secondary adsorption chromatography technology to greatly improve the content of the product, but the resin needs to be regenerated or reused, so that the post treatment is more complicated, the cost of the process is increased, and the expanded production cannot be realized. Patent CN102702287A discloses a method for extracting and purifying oleuropein from olive leaves, which comprises the following steps: extracting folium Canarii albi with alkaline solution of pH 8-10 at room temperature, subjecting the obtained extractive solution to molecular sieve type macroporous adsorbent resin column chromatography, eluting the column with 50-80% ethanol, collecting eluate containing target components, concentrating, and drying to obtain low-content oleuropein; dissolving low-content oleuropein in polar solvent with polarity value of 3.8-4.2, vacuum filtering, and concentrating the filtrate to obtain concentrated solution; adding organic solvent into the concentrated solution to adjust polarity, standing at low temperature to precipitate crystal, and drying to obtain high purity oleuropein. The process adopts alkaline solution for extraction, so that oleuropein can be hydrolyzed into hydroxytyrosol, the extraction time is long, the hydrolysis degree is high, and the yield of the product is low and is only about 4 percent. The application of the macroporous adsorption resin column can increase energy consumption and improve production cost. Patent CN101003557A discloses a preparation method of "olive leaf extract rich in high-purity oleuropein", which comprises the following steps: firstly, extracting olive leaves by using a polar solvent, then carrying out alkaline centrifugal sedimentation to obtain centrifugal clear liquid and precipitates, then carrying out membrane coupling separation to obtain concentrated solution passing through a nanofiltration membrane, then carrying out medium adsorption, eluting an adsorption medium to obtain eluent, carrying out vacuum concentration, and then carrying out vacuum freeze drying or spray drying to obtain the olive leaf extract which contains more than 50% of oleuropein and is rich in high-purity oleuropein. The process saves energy, is clean and environment-friendly, has more complicated steps, needs membrane separation and medium adsorption technologies, has higher cost and is not easy to realize industrial production. Patent CN102850416A discloses a method for preparing olive leaf extract and a device used by the method, which comprises the following steps: firstly, olive leaves are subjected to ultrasonic reduced pressure boiling extraction by using a mixed solvent, and vacuum filtration to obtain a clear solution; then petroleum ether is extracted to remove fat-soluble impurities and collect the lower clear liquid, the lower clear liquid is evaporated by rotation until the solvent has no alcohol smell, then diluted, the diluted liquid is purified by macroporous resin, the diluted liquid is kept stand for a period of time to ensure that oleuropein and flavonoid substances are fully adsorbed, then the oleuropein is eluted by using an ethanol-water mixed solvent with proper concentration and the target liquid is collected, the collected target liquid is purified by sephadex, the diluted liquid is kept stand and eluted by ethanol-water solution, then the eluent containing effective components is collected, the eluent is evaporated by rotation until no alcohol smell exists, and finally the extract is dried or obtained, wherein the oleuropein content is 85-92 percent larger and the total flavone content reaches 25-35 percent. The process has the disadvantages of complex purification steps, high material consumption and high energy consumption, and cannot realize good economic benefit. Patent CN102228514A discloses "a method for extracting oleuropein from olive leaves", which comprises: after the extraction with water or alcohol-water mixed solvent, the extract is concentrated and then sequentially subjected to three steps of separation: macroporous resin adsorption, alcohol-water solvent elution, decolorizing resin adsorption (decolorizing resin with good adsorption effect on pigment in olive extract (macroporous resin with good adsorption effect on oleuropein, eluting to remove other impurities) and organic solvent extraction, gradually separating and purifying oleuropein in the extract to obtain high-content oleuropein extract with oleuropein content higher than 40%. The process is simple and easy to operate, but the product content is low, the product cannot be directly added into medicines or cosmetics, and further separation and purification are needed.
