Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily produce ellagic acid: a natural polyphenolic substance having mutagenicity, etc., in an extremely high purity by dissolving the ellagic acid in an alcohol and adding water to the solution for depositing the ellagic acid. CONSTITUTION:Ellagic acid is dissolved in an alcohol (preferably methanol containing CO2), and mixed with water to deposit the ellagic acid. The deposited ellagic acid is collected by a known method such as filtration. The ellagic acid, the alcohol and the water are preferably employed in a maximum compounding weight ratio of 1:1200:380, respectively. The ellagic acid is produced by hydrolyzing the methanol extract of walnut barks with an acid.

The present invention will be explained in detail below. First, examples of the alcohol include methanol, ethanol, etc. Among them, methanol is preferred, and alcohol in which carbon dioxide gas is dissolved is particularly preferred. For example, ellagic acid is dissolved in the above alcohol at room temperature with stirring, and water is gradually added with stirring to precipitate ellagic acid. In terms of weight ratio, alcohol has a maximum blending ratio of about 1,200 to 1 of ellagic acid, and water has a minimum blending ratio of about 380. Then, the ellagic acid precipitated in this way is collected, for example, by ordinary means such as filtration or centrifugation to obtain ellagic acid.

(Amount of ellagic acid: 11.4 g) was suction filtered to collect the precipitate of ellagic acid, and 600 ml of 0.25M sodium bicarbonate solution was added.
Washed with. After suspending this washed cake in 2,300 ml of ion exchange water, 5N caustic soda solution was added dropwise under stirring to dissolve ellagic acid. The pH of the solution is 12.8
Met. Celite the insoluble matter (Hyflo Super Cell)
was filtered as a filter aid to obtain a clear solution of ellagic acid. 5N hydrochloric acid was added to this alkaline solution under stirring to adjust the pH.
was adjusted to 10. After continuing to stir gently for about 1 hour, the agglomerated precipitate of ellagic acid was collected by suction filtration, and 0.2
Washed with 400 ml of 5M sodium bicarbonate solution. After suspending the washed cake in 1,200 ml of ion-exchanged water again, 5N caustic soda solution was added dropwise to dissolve ellagic acid. The pH of the solution was 12.8. This solution contains 31%
Add hydrogen peroxide solution to 0.5% (V/V),
After decolorizing for 2 hours while stirring gently at a temperature of 25° C., 5N hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 10, and stirring was continued for 1 hour. The resulting coagulated precipitate of ellagate was collected by suction filtration and diluted with 0.25 M sodium bicarbonate solution at 200 ml.
Washed with ml. 200ml of this washed cake is 0.1
After suspending in N hydrochloric acid, the pH was adjusted to 2 by adding 5N hydrochloric acid. After gently stirring at a temperature of 25° C. for 1 hour, the precipitate of free ellagic acid was collected by suction filtration and thoroughly washed with ion-exchanged water. After drying this washed cake in vacuum, it was crushed in a mortar and 8.1 g of slightly yellowish white powder was produced (L=83.
68, a=-0.37, b=11.93). The above L, a, and b values were measured using a color difference meter [manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Co., Ltd., Z
-1001DP]. The recovery rate of ellagic acid from the reaction solution was 71%, and the purity in high performance liquid chromatography (hereinafter abbreviated as HPLC) analysis of the purified sample was 99.5%. For quantitative analysis of ellagic acid, TSK gel ODS 12
Using a 0A column (25cm, manufactured by Toyo Soda Kogyo Co., Ltd.),
HPLC method with detection at 255 nm was used. A mixture of M/30 phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and methanol (7:3) was used as the eluent. 1 g of ellagic acid purified in this way was dissolved in methanol in which carbon dioxide gas had been dissolved. While stirring gently, 900 ml of resin water was gradually added to precipitate ellagic acid. After further cooling on ice to completely precipitate ellagic acid, the mixture was filtered through two pieces of filter paper with a diameter of 7.5 cm to collect ellagic acid, which was vacuum dried. The ellagic acid thus obtained was extremely pale yellowish white (L=95.72, a=-3.
28, b=14.16), and the color tone was extremely good.
