Description

Method for separating triterpene alcohol and sterol from crude sterol of rice bran
Technical Field
The invention relates to crude rice bran sterol, in particular to a method for separating triterpene alcohol and sterol from crude rice bran sterol.
Background
With the increasing importance of people on health, the triterpene and the phytosterol have increasingly large effects in the fields of food, medicine, health care, feed addition, beauty treatment, skin care and the like. The triterpene is a terpenoid compound with a basic mother nucleus composed of 30 carbon atoms, and has effects of reducing cholesterol, caring skin, protecting liver, resisting tumor, regulating immunity, resisting inflammation, relieving pain, tranquilizing mind, resisting aging, and resisting oxidation. The sterol is a sterol compound which is widely distributed in the nature, has good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, can inhibit the absorption of human body to cholesterol, prevent and treat coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, promote wound healing, promote muscle proliferation, enhance capillary circulation, maintain skin surface moisture, promote skin metabolism, can be used as production raw materials of important steroid medicines and vitamin D3, and has the effects of hair growth, hair nourishing and the like.
At present, triterpenes are mainly and directly obtained from plant precursors or fungi such as ganoderma lucidum, antrodia camphorata and the like, and are also directly obtained by hydrolysis of oryzanol. For example, in the Chinese patent CN109364119A, triterpenoids are obtained from cyclocarya paliurus leaves through alcohol extraction, polyamide column separation and macroporous resin column separation, but the cost is high, the yield is low and the operation is complex; for example, Chinese patent CN109265510A obtains triterpene from coarse powder of balsam pear leaf by steps of extraction, gradient elution, semi-preparative liquid chromatography purification and the like, but the method is difficult to industrialize; for example, Chinese patent CN1261448C is used for extracting ganoderma triterpenes from ganoderma by ultrasonic circulating extraction, chloroform dissolution, ultrasonic circulating alkali extraction, hydrochloric acid acidification, ultrasonic circulating extraction and reduced pressure evaporation, but the method has complex process and high solvent toxicity; for example, Chinese patent CN103080124A is to obtain triterpene alcohol from gamma-oryzanol through alkaline hydrolysis, extraction and cooling, and the triterpene alcohol of the invention is obtained by chemical reaction of gamma-oryzanol. Triterpene alcohol is also obtained from rice bran, for example, chinese patent CN106102746A is prepared by extracting rice, rice bran and its extract, vegetable oil, γ -oryzanol, etc. with ethanol, hydrolyzing, recrystallizing and purifying, and the triterpene alcohol is separated by silica gel chromatography and ODS chromatography to obtain two types of triterpenes, but on one hand, the method does not realize the separation of sterol and triterpene alcohol; on the other hand, the rice bran extract of the method can be directly used as a product, and the raw material has economic value.
The phytosterol is mainly obtained from various vegetable oil deodorized distillates through separation, extraction, recrystallization, purification and other procedures, and the operation is simple but the extraction rate is low. For example, Chinese patent CN109422792A uses deodorized distillate of vegetable oil to obtain sterol by esterification, crystallization and recrystallization. The yields of vegetable oil deodorizer distillates are limited, require large imports, and have very low sterol content. At present, sterol is obtained from by-products of vegetable oil refining, for example, Chinese patent CN102898491A uses rice oil alkali to refine Chinese honeylocust fruit, and the phytosterol is obtained by ether extraction, freezing crystallization, alcohol dissolving and activated carbon decoloration. For example, Chinese patent CN101643495A uses fatty acid or fatty acid methyl ester to distill black feet to obtain sterol through saponification, calcium saponification, extraction, recrystallization and other processes, but these inventions can not realize enrichment of triterpene alcohol while obtaining sterol.
The rice bran oil is oil obtained from rice bran which is a byproduct of rice processing, and the raw material of the rice bran oil is very rich in China. The rice bran oil contains dozens of natural bioactive components such as abundant B vitamins, vitamin E, ferulic acid, squalene, oryzanol, sterol, triterpene alcohol and the like, and is oil beneficial to patients with hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At present, rice bran oil, oryzanol, ferulic acid, sterol, rice bran wax, fatty acid and the like are obtained from rice bran crude oil in factories through processes such as degumming, decoloring, deacidification and the like or through methods such as multi-stage molecular distillation and the like. The waste rice bran crude sterol is generated when the oryzanol, the rice bran wax and the fatty acid are extracted, and the rice bran crude sterol contains rich effective components such as phytosterol, triterpene alcohol and the like. According to investigation, the sources of the crude rice bran sterols are very rich, about 500 tons of waste crude rice bran sterols are generated in a rice bran oil plant which produces 10 ten thousand tons each year, and due to technical limitation, the crude rice bran sterols are not utilized at present, so that precious crude rice bran sterol resources are idle or discarded as solid wastes, and environmental pollution and huge resource waste are caused. As the function of the rice bran oil is known more and more, the sales volume of the rice bran oil is wider and wider, and the quantity of the waste rice bran crude sterol produced in the production process is more and more, so that how to realize the waste recycling is very necessary for the utilization of the rice bran crude sterol.

TABLE 4 determination of purity and yield of sterols and triterpene alcohols
According to the research on the determination of sterol compounds in Syngnathus and Starfish by GC-MS, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method is used for determining sterol substances, and according to the research on the determination of the content of triterpenoid compound friedelin in caulis bambusae by gas chromatography, the method is used for determining triterpenoids by using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method.
Experiments prove that while the triterpene alcohol is separated, the refined sterol can be obtained. Because the phytosterol and the triterpene are synthesized by a biological pathway of methyl glutaric dihydroxy acid, the structures are similar, and the phytosterol and the triterpene are both mixtures with similar physicochemical properties; in addition, phytosterol and triterpene alcohol can remain in a silica gel column in the separation process, and are difficult to completely elute and collect; meanwhile, impurities in the crude sterol of the rice bran are difficult to separate from sterol and triterpene alcohol, so that the sterol and triterpene alcohol are difficult to separate. In the invention, the content of sterol in the used rice bran crude sterol is 22.09%, the content of triterpene alcohol is 77.60%, the content of impurities is 0.31%, the purity of the separated sterol is up to 99%, and the yield is up to 27%; the purity of the triterpene alcohol is up to 99 percent, and the yield is up to 55 percent.
The method adopts the waste rice bran crude sterol in the rice bran oil refining process as the raw material, realizes the waste recycling, and avoids the environment pollution caused by the waste rice bran crude sterol; the method is green and environment-friendly, and has simple process; the method can obtain high-purity triterpene alcohol and high-purity phytosterol, and the sterol and triterpene alcohol can be applied in medicine, health product, cosmetic, feed additive, etc.; the invention also researches that the silica gel column still has good separation effect after being repeatedly used for three times, thereby saving the silica gel cost.
The foregoing is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
