Description

Centrifugal fractional extraction to separate gallocatechin, epicatechin and caffeine from tea polyphenols
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for selectively separating epigallocatechin, epicatechin and caffeine from tea polyphenol by solvent extraction and multistage centrifugal fractionation extraction of a centrifugal extractor, which comprises the following steps: centrifugal fractional extraction method.
Background
Tea, as a beverage, is reputed to the world for its health benefits. Tea polyphenol is a main bioactive substance in tea, has various health-care effects, and is widely applied to the food industry. The tea extract contains tea polyphenols as main ingredient, is a compound of more than 30 kinds of phenolic compounds separated from natural plant tea, and comprises epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epicatechin (EC), caffeine (CAF), epigallocatechin gallate (GCG), catechin (DL-C), etc., and many components in the extract have their own biological properties. The epigallocatechin has antioxidant, anticancer, and antimutagenic activities, and can stimulate bone formation and help slow bone aging; epicatechin has various physiological activities, such as reducing blood fat and weight, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, preventing cancer, resisting mutation, etc. Compared with other catechins, the catechin compound can obviously improve the spatial memory and cognitive functions of middle-aged and elderly subjects, and arouses great interest of scholars at home and abroad.
The catechin is the most important functional active component of the tea, and the development of the green high-efficiency separation technology of the catechin monomer in the tea has remarkable economic and social benefits. At present, the technologies for separating catechin monomers mainly comprise chromatography, membrane separation, precipitation method and the like, the separation cost is high, the separation amount is small, the process is discontinuous, industrial amplification is difficult, and the market development of high-value-added functional active ingredients of tea leaves is limited. Meanwhile, a large amount of low-end tea leaves cannot be effectively utilized, and resource waste is caused. The development of research and application of a new green and efficient separation technology of catechin monomers can powerfully promote the deep development of tea resources in our province, and has very important strategic significance on the development of the tea industry in our province.
Aiming at the extraction of tea polyphenol in tea, a series of methods are developed at present, including solvent extraction, metal ion precipitation method and supercritical CO 2 Extraction methods, membrane separation methods, and the like. Tea polyphenol is low in price, is mainly used for food additives at present, and has no value given full play. In order to realize high-value utilization of tea polyphenol, catechin monomers in the tea polyphenol need to be further separated. In recent years, with the development of society and the evolution of technology, the extraction efficiency of catechin monomers and the quality of products need to be further improved. On the one hand, the product purity is required to be continuously improved, meanwhile, the production cost of unit products is continuously reduced, on the other hand, the product specification is diversified, namely, the tea polyphenol is subjected to differential purification and separation, and serial products with different specifications are obtained to meet the diversified market demands. The catechin monomers in tea polyphenols have similar structure and physicochemical properties, and are difficult to realize by conventional methodEfficient separation of bodies.
The prior method for purifying and refining catechin monomers mainly comprises the following steps: chromatography, supercritical fluid extraction, etc. The preparation chromatography is the most important preparation separation technology for obtaining high-purity natural active substances at present, the technology is rapidly developed in recent years, and the technologies such as column chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, simulated moving bed chromatography, high-speed countercurrent chromatography and the like are developed, but most of the technologies are mainly used for preparing gallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate, but the technologies of epigallocatechin and epicatechin are relatively few, mainly comprise preparation type high performance liquid chromatography and high-speed countercurrent chromatography, belong to the separation range of laboratories, and the preparation amount is usually only a few milligrams, so that the industrial production cannot be realized. The content of caffeine in the tea is about 1% -2.8%, and the existing separation methods comprise a solvent method, an extraction sublimation method and a microwave-assisted method. However, high purity caffeine is difficult to obtain by a single extraction and still needs to be further purified. The main purification methods of caffeine include column chromatography, supercritical fluid extraction and biological enzymes. Column chromatography is currently the most common method for purifying caffeine, but does not meet the requirements of high purity and high volume production. Supercritical fluid extraction has high selectivity, safety and environmental protection, but has higher requirements on equipment. The biological enzyme method requires high storage conditions, and therefore, the cost for separation and purification is correspondingly high. These methods are not suitable for industrial continuous production.
The invention adopts a multi-stage centrifugal fractionation extraction technology to extract and separate gallocatechin, epicatechin and caffeine in tea polyphenol. According to the invention, according to different distribution behaviors of various substances in the tea polyphenol in a solvent system, the centrifugal action force of a centrifugal extractor is utilized to further enhance the mass transfer efficiency, and the epigallocatechin, the epicatechin and the caffeine are quickly and efficiently obtained. The technology overcomes the separation problems of other separation technologies, and has the characteristics of simple and convenient operation, high production efficiency, continuous large-scale production and high yield and purity.

Firstly, distributing substances with the distribution ratio larger than that of caffeine to an organic phase by one-step fractional extraction, continuously performing fractional extraction by using a water phase containing caffeine to obtain an organic phase only containing caffeine (5), and distilling the two-phase solution obtained in the step (4) under reduced pressure to obtain gallocatechin, epicatechin and caffeine powder.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein: the organic solvent is selected from n-butanol, n-pentanol, isoamyl alcohol, n-hexanol, heptanol, n-octanol, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether and n-hexane.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein: selectively extracting gallocatechin, epicatechin and caffeine from tea polyphenols by using a multistage centrifugal extractor.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein: the molar ratio of the organic phase to the water phase in the multistage centrifugal fractional extraction is 0.2-20, and the molar ratio of the organic phase to the material liquid phase is 0.1-10.
5. The process of claim 1, wherein the feed liquid phase is fed at a level f (2. Ltoreq. F. Ltoreq.N-1).
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature of the multi-stage centrifugal extraction process is controlled to be 0-25 ℃.
