Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity chlorogenic acid from stevia rebaudiana, in particular to a method for extracting the high-purity chlorogenic acid from the stevia rebaudiana by a water medium method, belonging to the technical field of natural product chemistry.
Background
Chlorogenic acid, also known as caffeoylquinic acid, belongs to one of chlorogenic acids, is depside generated from caffeic acid and quinic acid (1-hydroxyhexahydro gallic acid), and is a phenylpropanoid compound generated by plants in the aerobic respiration process through the shikimic acid pathway.
Chlorogenic acid is an important bioactive substance and has great application value in the fields of medicine, health and the like. Chlorogenic acid has certain pharmacological effects on digestive system, blood system and reproductive system, and has wide antibacterial, antiinflammatory, cholagogic and hemostatic effects; chlorogenic acid has strong antibacterial and antiviral effects, and can effectively inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, Bacillus dysenteriae, and Salmonella typhi; chlorogenic acid is an effective phenolic antioxidant, and can effectively remove hydroxyl free radicals and superoxide anions, thereby protecting organism from damage of oxidation; in addition, chlorogenic acid also has a certain protective effect on cardiovascular and has an obvious blood pressure reducing effect. Due to various efficacies and physiological activities of chlorogenic acid, the extraction and purification of chlorogenic acid are attracting more and more attention.
Chlorogenic acid is widely found in plants and mainly comes from honeysuckle, eucommia, coffee beans, acer truncatum leaves, burdock leaves, sweet potato leaves and the like. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is perennial herb of Compositae, contains stevioside 8% -12% of dry leaves of stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, and is mainly used for extracting natural sweetener stevioside. Besides steviol glycosides, the alcohol, water or alcohol-water extracts of stevia contain steviol, flavonoids, quinic and caffeic acids and derivatives, amino acids and fatty acids and derivatives, and other impurities such as tannins, pigments and pectins that need to be removed. The phenolic compounds in stevia include simple phenolic acids, chlorogenic acids, flavonoids, flavonols, flavanols, isoflavones, etc. For stevia rebaudiana, research at home and abroad mainly focuses on the preparation and separation of stevioside, and few reports are reported on the extraction and separation of polyphenol and chlorogenic acid in the stevia rebaudiana. The polyphenol in the stevia rebaudiana is discarded along with the extraction waste residue; or the extraction from the waste residue has low purity and poor extraction efficiency.
At present, raw materials for industrially extracting and purifying chlorogenic acid mainly come from honeysuckle, folium cortex eucommiae, coffee beans and the like. Chinese patent CN103288644A describes a method for extracting chlorogenic acid from flos Lonicerae, cleaning flos Lonicerae, drying, and pulverizing to obtain powder; extracting with water for multiple times, adjusting pH, adsorbing with macroporous resin, eluting with alcohol to obtain crude extract, extracting, separating, concentrating, and drying to obtain chlorogenic acid. Chinese patent CN1974527A discloses a method for preparing high-purity chlorogenic acid and total flavonoids from folium Eucommiae, which comprises pulverizing dried folium Eucommiae, and extracting with ethanol; then adsorbing by a macroporous resin column, passing through a silica gel column, concentrating under reduced pressure, and recrystallizing by acetone or water to obtain a refined chlorogenic acid product with the purity of 96-99%. Patent CN109096110A describes a process for separating and purifying 99% chlorogenic acid from coffee bean, which comprises pulverizing coffee bean, sieving to obtain coarse powder, extracting with ethanol, stirring, centrifuging, filtering, adsorbing the filtrate with macroporous adsorbent resin, treating the eluate with nanofiltration membrane, decolorizing, filtering, concentrating under reduced pressure, crystallizing to obtain crude product, and recrystallizing with diluted ethanol to obtain 99% chlorogenic acid. Patent CN03134575.1A discloses a process for extracting chlorogenic acid from Acer truncatum Bunge leaves, which comprises extracting chlorogenic acid from Acer truncatum Bunge leaves at low temperature, controlling time, pH value and material-liquid ratio, and has high solid solution extraction rate, good effect, and simple operation, and the obtained chlorogenic acid has a purity of about 40%. Patent CN1651398A discloses a process for extracting chlorogenic acid from burdock leaves, which comprises washing fresh burdock leaves, removing impurities, degreasing with chloroform, decolorizing, extracting with acid water under reflux, extracting with ethyl acetate, concentrating under reduced pressure, adsorbing with AB-8 resin column, eluting with ethanol, concentrating the eluate, and recrystallizing to obtain pure chlorogenic acid. Patent CN200510094347.8 describes a method for extracting and purifying chlorogenic acid from sunflower meal, which comprises extracting sunflower meal with ethanol aqueous solution, concentrating the extractive solution to remove alcohol, precipitating with acid to separate protein, extracting with ethyl acetate, separating and concentrating to obtain crude chlorogenic acid with purity of 70%, and further purifying with D101 macroporous resin to obtain chlorogenic acid with content of 92%.
In summary, most of the raw materials for extracting chlorogenic acid at present are Chinese herbal medicines with relatively high content of chlorogenic acid and materials with abundant resources. Stevia rebaudiana leaves are used as raw materials, related reports of chlorogenic acid obtained through extraction and separation are few, in patent CN102924544A, stevia rebaudiana leaves are used as raw materials, stevioside and chlorogenic acid are prepared step by step, the stevia rebaudiana leaves are soaked in cold water to be extracted, ferrous salt is added, the pH value is adjusted to be flocculated, filtrate and filter cake are obtained through filtration, and the filtrate is subjected to adsorption, desorption and refining treatment through macroporous adsorption resin to obtain stevioside; dissolving the filter cake with water, adjusting acid, adsorbing with macroporous adsorbent resin, resolving, concentrating, drying, and recrystallizing with alcohol to obtain chlorogenic acid. Patent CN105001281A discloses a method for synchronously producing stevioside, flavone and chlorogenic acid, stevia leaves are subjected to water extraction and flocculation, then are filtered to obtain filter mud and filtrate, and the filtrate is subjected to resin purification to obtain a stevioside product; dissolving the filter mud with alcohol water solution, adsorbing with macroporous adsorption resin, performing gradient analysis, preparing chlorogenic acid with low-concentration alcohol analysis solution, concentrating the high-concentration alcohol analysis solution, and extracting with organic solvent to obtain flavone. The method realizes simultaneous extraction of stevioside, flavone and chlorogenic acid, and improves the comprehensive utilization value of stevia, but the obtained chlorogenic acid has low purity.
It can be seen that the current process for extracting chlorogenic acid is relatively mature, but some problems also exist. Firstly, the source of the raw materials is the problem, the source of the raw materials of the chlorogenic acid is single, most of the chlorogenic acid is Chinese herbal medicines and materials with scarce resources, and the chlorogenic acid is concentrated on the honeysuckle, the coffee beans and the eucommia leaves. Secondly, the process has too many extraction steps, uses more organic reagents, increases the cost and has potential safety hazard. More importantly, in the prior art for extracting stevia rebaudiana polyphenol from stevia rebaudiana leaves, a stevia rebaudiana polyphenol mixture is mostly obtained, and is extracted from filter residues obtained by filtering stevia rebaudiana leaves after water extraction and flocculation, so that the extraction efficiency and the product purity are low. In addition, in the prior art, most of polyamide resin used in other plant extraction processes is particles with 30-60 meshes (namely 0.25-0.5mm), which is not beneficial to large-scale extraction.
