Background
The "seaweed" is a generic name of marine algae such as kelp, laver, undaria pinnatifida, gelidium amansii, etc., which is an algae growing in the sea. The large-scale seaweed is divided into two categories of large-scale seaweed and microalgae, wherein the large-scale seaweed is various in types and rich in forms, comprises four categories of brown algae, red algae, blue algae, green algae and the like, is a cryptogamic plant in the plant kingdom, and the algae comprises a large number of different types of organisms which generate energy through photosynthesis. They are generally considered to be simple, and are mostly cellular filamentous, membranous, tubular or frond plants, i.e. vascular bundle-free tissues, without differentiation phenomena of true roots, stems, leaves; no flowering, no fruit and no seed; the apomictic embryo has the requirement that chlorophyll can synthesize organic matters through photosynthesis to survive like higher plants.
The large-scale seaweed bioactive substances comprise two major types, one is a small molecular substance which can be digested and absorbed, and specifically comprises halogen compounds, seaweed tannin, terpenoid compounds and the like; the other is viscous polysaccharide which is difficult to digest, such as agar, carrageenan, fucoidan, sulfated polysaccharide, etc. in red algae. Macro-seaweed polysaccharide (polysaccharide for short) is a chain polymer formed by connecting a plurality of same or different monosaccharide groups through glycosidic bonds, exists in seaweed cell walls and interstitium, accounts for more than 50% of the dry weight of seaweed, and has various biological activities and medicinal values of immunoregulation, tumor resistance, virus resistance, oxidation resistance and the like.
The seaweed also contains betaine, which is a general name of a series of substances, and all substances with R- (CH3)3N + CH2 COO-structures belong to betaine. Due to the presence of trimethyl, betaine, a quaternary ammonium salt, has obvious alkali-containing characteristics. Betaine is also a typical surfactant. The betaines found in seaweed include glycine betaine (the simplest betaine in structure, called as "trimethylamine B lactone" or "trimethylglycine"), Y-aminobutyric acid betaine, alanine betaine, homoserine betaine (derived from pure ammonia acid) which is an ether formed from homoserine and glycerol, and homoserine betaine derivatives extracted from seaweed such as 1(3), 2-diacylglycerol-3 (1) -0-4- (N, N, N-trimethyl) homoserine, delta-aminopentanoic acid betaine, N6-trimethyllysine (i.e., laminine which is not only a quaternary amine derivative but also an alpha-amino acid capable of forming a peptide bond), lysine betaine (in which both nitrogen atoms of lysine are completely methylated), and L-lysine betaine, Proline betaine (also known as stachydrine, proline dimethyl inner salt), cis-4-hydroxyproline betaine, trans-4-hydroxy-beta-proline betaine, 1, 3-dimethylhistidine, picolinic acid betaine, trigonelline (N-methylnicotinate), lobster sarcosine, N-dimethyl-1, 2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridine-2-hydroxy salt (piscine betaine).
Betaine is white scaly or prismatic crystalline powder with slight characteristic odor (sweet taste), molecular weight of 117.15, high temperature resistance, melting point of 293 deg.C, and can be decomposed when the temperature reaches 310 deg.C. The solubility (20 ℃) is 160g/100g of water, and the solvent is very easy to dissolve in polar solvents such as water, methanol and the like, is dissolved in ethanol and is slightly soluble in ether. Betaine exists in different forms in solution according to different pH, and generally molecules are in an open ring state when the pH is less than 7 and are in a ring structure when the pH is more than or equal to 7. It is easy to absorb moisture and deliquesce at normal temperature, and has strong moisture retention, stable property and strong oxidation resistance.
There is no prior art method for extracting polysaccharides and betaines from seaweeds.
The invention aims to provide a method for extracting polysaccharide and betaine from seaweed.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a method for extracting polysaccharides and betaines from seaweeds.
A method for extracting polysaccharide and betaine from seaweed comprises the following steps:
s1, weighing the dried and crushed seaweed and water in a glass container, wherein the mass ratio of the seaweed to the water is 1: (30-50);
s2, extracting the glass container weighed in the step S1 for 60-90S by microwave with the power of 210-490W to obtain an extracting solution, and filtering to remove solids in the extracting solution to obtain primary clear liquid;
s3, concentrating the primary clear liquid to one third of the original volume, adding excessive ethanol, keeping the ethanol concentration more than or equal to 80%, standing for 10h, filtering to obtain polysaccharide and secondary extracting solution, and drying the polysaccharide;
s4, adjusting the pH value of the secondary extracting solution to 3-7, and adsorbing the secondary extracting solution by a resin column filled with 732 cation exchange resin until the 732 cation exchange resin is saturated in the adsorption of betaine;
s5, eluting the 732 cation exchange resin after saturated adsorption by using 1% -9% ammonia water to obtain eluent, and concentrating and drying the eluent to obtain the betaine.
By a microwave water extraction method, polysaccharide and betaine in seaweed are transferred into primary clear liquid by combining the proportion of the seaweed to water, microwave extraction power and microwave extraction time, the primary separation of the polysaccharide and the betaine is realized by utilizing the solubility difference of the betaine and the polysaccharide in water and ethanol respectively, a secondary solution rich in the betaine is adsorbed by 732 cation exchange resin within a specific pH value range, the adsorption rate of the 732 cation exchange resin to the betaine is higher, and finally, ammonia water solution is adopted for elution, so that the further purification of the betaine is completed.
The 732 cation exchange resin is saturated with betaine, which means that the 732 cation exchange resin does not adsorb betaine in the secondary extracting solution any more, namely the concentration of betaine in the secondary extracting solution passing through the resin column filled with 732 cation exchange resin does not change any more.
Preferably, the ratio of the mass of seaweed to the mass of water is 1: 40.
the ratio of the mass of seaweed to the mass of water is 1: at 40 hours, the mass transfer effect in the extraction process is good, and the extraction rate of polysaccharide and betaine by water is high.
Preferably, the microwave extraction power of step S2 is 350W.
Experiments show that after the microwave extraction power exceeds 350W, the polysaccharide content in the primary clear liquid is reduced, and the polysaccharide is decomposed after the microwave extraction power exceeds 350W; therefore, the microwave power is 350W, the higher extraction rate of the polysaccharide by water is ensured, and the loss of the polysaccharide due to decomposition is avoided.
Preferably, step S2 microwave extraction is performed for 75S.
The 350W microwave extraction time is too long, and the polysaccharide is easy to decompose.
Preferably, the pH of step S4 is adjusted to 3.
When the pH of the secondary extract is 3, betaine is in an open-loop state, and a large amount of hydrogen ions are provided in the secondary extract to ionize betaine and exchange the betaine with the 732 cation exchange resin sulfonic acid group for adsorption, at which time the 732 cation exchange resin has an adsorption rate of betaine as high as 94%.
Preferably, step S5 is performed with 5% ammonia water.
5% ammonia water is adopted for elution, the elution rate is up to 75%, under the alkaline condition, hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions on adsorbed betaine cations are neutralized to generate water, so that electrically neutral betaine molecules are eluted from 732 cation exchange resins, meanwhile, the method that acidic solution is adopted for cation exchange elution in the prior art is avoided, and the problem that betaine hydrochloride is generated by the reaction of betaine and Raney's salt in the subsequent detection of the purity of the betaine, so that the accuracy of a test result is influenced is avoided.
Preferably, after the secondary clear liquid is obtained in step S3, impurities are removed by using 717 anion resin.
The experiment finds that the adsorption rate of 717 anions to betaine is lower than 6.5%, the adsorption rate to other substances in the secondary extracting solution is higher, the secondary clear solution is firstly adsorbed by 717 anion resin, the content of impurities in the secondary clear solution is reduced, the impurities are prevented from being influenced in the process of adsorbing and eluting betaine by 732 cation exchange resin, and the final purity of betaine is improved.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
polysaccharide and betaine in the seaweed are transferred into primary clear liquid by a microwave water extraction method in combination with proper proportion of the seaweed to water, microwave extraction power and microwave extraction time, primary separation of the polysaccharide and the betaine is realized by utilizing the solubility difference of the betaine and the polysaccharide in water and ethanol respectively, a secondary solution rich in the betaine is adsorbed by 732 cation exchange resin within a specific pH value range, the adsorption rate of the 732 cation exchange resin to the betaine is high, and finally, ammonia water solution is adopted for elution, so that further extraction and purification of the betaine are completed.
