FIG. 2 is an extracting device of an extract of an iris or other natural material using alkaline water prepared by a treated shell column. FIG.

The present invention relates to a method for extracting irises or other natural substances using an acid or alkaline water, an extraction apparatus thereof and an extract obtained therefrom.

Iris is a perennial herb that grows by ponds or lakes, and grows up to 120 cm in height. Flowers bloom in June to July, mature in September, and have a dense aroma throughout the plant. It is mainly used as a medicinal or fragrant plant and a bathing agent. Iris contains a fragrance called cineol and an antibacterial and pesticidal ingredient called asarone. The scent of irises is known to have a soothing effect, and boiled irises are known to be effective in treating simple skin diseases and preventing dandruff. And irises made of irises have an excellent effect on appetite promotion, health, soothing, fatigue and especially Gangjeong.

However, the technology developed so far in the manufacture of medicines, health supplements, hygiene products, cosmetics, etc. for utilizing the above-mentioned effects of the irises without being limited in time is only a simple heating extraction and processing technique. In the case of patents, there is a patent application regarding a method of extracting a component from a plant (Patent Publication No. 2000-0072654) or a method of drying and processing an iris to use a bath agent (Patent Publication No. 1998-0019539), but general water vapor extraction It relates to a technique or to a method for preparing a simple dry powder without studying the individual components of the irises.

The present invention relates to a method for providing an extract of irises or other natural substances by extracting the active ingredient of irises or other natural substances will be described below.

Roots, roots of irises : Roots are white, with nodes, roots on the shores of watersides, and they grow while shallowing on the ground through the roots. In particular, the root stem is called baekchang, and it is used for medicinal purposes to remove the juice by applying oil to boils in the private sector. It is also known to mix irises with glutinous rice to make liquor, chew, or make tea for insect repellent, tonic, and appetite. Extracting the roots and root stems of irises with acidic water extracts alkaloid compounds, and extracting them with organic solvents can extract components such asarone, euasarone, cis-methylisoeugenol and elemicin.

(Fig. 1) and the apparatus for producing alkaline water by filling the column filled with the treated shell with distilled water (Fig. 2). Here, the pH of the extracted acidic water is 5 or less, and the pH of the extracted alkaline water is 9 or more. The treated shell means that the shell is heated at 400 to 800 ° C. for 1 to 8 hours to remove impurities and then pulverized and homogenized to a size of 10 to 40 mesh. The extraction by acidic water should use an electrolysis device, and the extraction by alkaline water can be selected from the methods using electrolysis device and treated shell.

b) An active ingredient extracting device for extracting an active ingredient by washing the irises or other natural substances, filling them in a column, and then depositing them in the extraction solvent of the prepared acid and alkaline water.

The iris or other natural material is dried to 5% or less of moisture content by a smooth blowing method with oxygen supply at a temperature of 30 ~ 80 ℃, homogeneously subdivided into 10 ~ 100 mesh, and a filter of 1 ~ 100 ㎛ is installed at the bottom. Fill the column. Acid and alkaline water prepared by electrolysis or shell column are immersed in a column filled with the iris or other natural substance for 1 to 48 hours to extract the active ingredient of iris or other natural substance as an extract. Depending on the active ingredient to be extracted, an organic solvent may be added to the acidic or alkaline water. In this case, the organic solvent may be selected from the group consisting of organic solvents consisting of methanol, ethanol, butanol, ether, acetone, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate. Single or mixed organic solvents are added and then immersed in a column filled with irises or other natural substances for 1 to 48 hours to extract the active ingredient of irises or other natural substances.

The active ingredient of the iris extracted by acidic water, alkaline water and organic solvent is as follows.

1) Extracting Active Ingredients of Iris by Non-Drug Acidic Water

Extraction by acidic water is an alkaloid-based ingredient contained in the irises and extracts the active ingredient of irises or other natural substances having bactericidal and antimicrobial effects. Acidic extract of irises makes skin soft and elastic, and has bactericidal effect and medical effect (toothache, respiratory disease, etc.), so iris acidic water produces functional lotion and sanitary or kitchen utensils with sterilization and antibacterial properties. Can be utilized. In the case of producing acidic water using chemicals, there is a high possibility that harmful chemicals remain in the human body, but acidic water prepared using electrolysis as in the present invention is harmless to the human body and is not only environmentally friendly, but is also extracted. The efficiency is also very high and economical.

2) Extraction of active ingredients by non-pharmaceutical alkaline water

Extraction of alkaline water using an electrolysis or shell filling column can extract active ingredients of sugars such as phenols and glycosides of irises. Iris extract by alkaline water is a component that has a shine, adhesive properties can be used as an additive ingredient in the preparation of baths and cosmetics. In addition, the extraction method using alkaline water has an effect of removing impurities that may remain after washing the irises, thereby allowing the extraction of pure iris components. The alkaline water is harmless to the human body compared to the chemical alkaline water, but also environmentally friendly, and the extraction effect is also very efficient and economical due to the selective properties of sugars.

3) Deposition with organic solvent

Extracting the stem and leaf portions of the irises by adding an organic solvent to acidic or alkaline water can extract a wider range of aromatic active ingredients, and can increase the extraction efficiency. After cutting and drying the rhizome and root part, it can be used as a medicine to treat dryness, soothing, analgesic, and antifungal by extracting and drying with a mixed solvent with acid and alkaline water.

c) Membrane Extract Concentrator, which can prepare essence or powder of iris or other natural substance by concentrating and drying the extract.

Essence is concentrated by using ceramic or polymer or metal membrane such as reverse osmosis (O / S), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), etc. B powder is prepared, and the remaining treated water and solvent after concentration are recovered. Usually, the extract containing the aqueous solution is characterized by a very difficult concentration. In addition, the economic benefits are eliminated when using thermal energy. The method developed to overcome this problem is the membrane concentration method using the membrane.

d) a device for circulating the treated water and solvent recovered in step c)

Concentrate the extract in the membrane extractor concentrator, and the remaining treated water and solvent can be recycled to the acidic water, alkaline water production equipment for reuse. Normally, acidic water, alkaline water and added organic solvents are costly to manufacture and use, and these solvents are reused to increase the efficiency of extraction due to reduced operating costs and circulation.

In addition, in the extraction device of the iris or other natural substance extract using the prepared acid, alkaline water, the solid component including cellulose of the iris remaining in the column after extraction can be compressed, dried, and powdered to be used as a material for plates, paper, and structures. have. The solid components remaining after filtering the irises contain antibacterial and aromatic ingredients, so they can be recycled by using them as materials for large buildings or structures without disposal.
