Detailed Description
The application is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and detailed description.
Referring to fig. 1, in one possible embodiment of the method for simultaneously preparing water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidants of rosemary according to the present application, the following steps are used for simultaneous extraction of the water-soluble antioxidants and the fat-soluble antioxidants of rosemary:
s01, obtaining stems and leaves of dried rosemary as raw materials;
After the stems and leaves of the rosemary are harvested, the stems and leaves of the rosemary are dried at a low temperature (about 50 ℃), so that decay and mildew of fresh materials are avoided, obvious loss of volatile oil components is prevented, and various components in the rosemary can be conveniently extracted through different technical paths, such as extracting essential oil, antioxidant components or medicinal components of the rosemary.
In the preparation method, the dried rosemary raw material is required to be crushed and passes through a 20-40 mesh sieve, so that the contact surface area is increased in the subsequent contact process with the extraction solvent, the target extract is conveniently dissolved into the extraction solvent, the crushed particles are not required to be too small, otherwise, the extraction solvent is difficult to pass through the particle gaps, and sufficient elution cannot be realized.
S02, soaking the raw materials into a solid-liquid mixture by adopting ethanol water as an extraction solvent;
The water-soluble antioxidant in rosemary is mainly rosemaric acid, which is an acid containing polyphenol hydroxyl, and is obtained by separating and extracting rosemary plant for the first time in 1958. Rosmarinic acid is widely distributed from lower moss to higher dicotyledons, mainly in Labiatae, boraginaceae, cucurbitaceae, tiliaceae, and Umbelliferae. The rosmarinic acid is water-soluble, the low-content rosmarinic acid is light yellow to brown powder, the high-content rosmarinic acid is white powder, the rosmarinic acid is easy to absorb moisture, has special herbal smell of rosmarinic acid, and shows blue-green color when meeting ferric trichloride-potassium ferricyanide solution.
The liposoluble antioxidant in rosemary is mainly carnosic acid, which is named as carnosic acid bitter lactone, is easily dissolved in grease and water, is colorless to pale yellow powder crystal, and has the characteristics of high efficiency, oxidation resistance, safety, no toxicity, high temperature resistance and the like.
According to the characteristics of the rosmarinic acid and the carnosic acid, in the step, the water-soluble rosmarinic acid and the fat-soluble carnosic acid are required to be leached out of the raw materials at the same time, so that an ethanol water-ethanol water solution with the volume percentage of 50% -95% is adopted as an extraction solvent. In the next step, the soaking time of the raw materials and the ethanol water should be at least 2 hours, so that the raw materials are fully swelled, the soaking time is not suitable for being too long, the dissolution efficiency of the target extract has a peak value, the too long soaking time is not beneficial to optimizing the input-output ratio of the whole preparation process, and the soaking time is not suitable for exceeding 4 hours through experimental verification. Further, in order to increase the concentration of the target extract in the subsequent eluent, the ethanol water used during soaking should not be excessive, and the ethanol water just falls out of the raw materials in a state of fully swelling the raw materials, thereby meeting the requirements.
S03, eluting the solid-liquid mixture by adopting a chromatographic column to obtain a mixed extract;
For ease of observation, embodiments of the present application preferably employ a glass chromatographic column to elute the target extract from the immersed solid-liquid mixture. Specifically, referring to a column packing method of a stationary phase of a column chromatography, a solid-liquid extract is packed into a glass chromatographic column, so that the packing diameter-to-height ratio of a solid-liquid mixture in the chromatographic column is 1:2.5-10.
Alternatively, the dried and crushed raw materials and the extraction solvent can be loaded into a glass chromatographic column, and the soaking process is carried out in the glass chromatographic column, if bubbles or gaps appear in the solid-liquid mixture, the solid-liquid mixture can be treated by vibration or vacuumizing.
During elution, the ethanol water is used as an eluent, the eluting flow rate is controlled to be 1-3 BV/h, the elution is carried out at room temperature, and the eluted liquid is a mixed extract mixed with water-soluble components and fat-soluble components. The volume ratio of ethanol in the ethanol water in the elution process can be properly adjusted to control the harvest amount and the washing time of the water-soluble component and the fat-soluble component respectively.
Referring to fig. 2, thin layer chromatography analysis is performed on eluents flowing out at different times, in ethanol water eluents with fixed ethanol-water volume ratio, water-soluble rosmarinic acid is eluted preferentially, and fat-soluble carnosic acid is still collected in the second half of the elution, which gives two points that firstly, compared with rosmarinic acid, the enrichment degree of fat-soluble carnosic acid in stems and leaves of rosemary is higher, and secondly, the volume ratio of ethanol in ethanol water can be adjusted in the elution process, so that the enrichment degree of rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid in the eluents collected at different times is higher, thereby being beneficial to simplifying the subsequent purification steps.
S04, separating water-soluble components and fat-soluble components in the mixed extracting solution by adopting a rotary evaporation method;
The prior art measures that the boiling point of rosmarinic acid is 694.7 +/-55.0 ℃ (760 mmHg), the boiling point of carnosic acid is 490.0+/-45.0 ℃, and the rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid can be separated by a rotary evaporation method by utilizing the difference of the boiling points of rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid. The temperature of rotary evaporation is controlled to be 40-50 ℃, under the condition, the water-soluble component becomes an evaporation solution to leave the mixed extracting solution, and the fat-soluble component becomes a precipitate to stay in the round-bottom flask.
S05-1 and S05-2, respectively redissolving the evaporation liquid and the precipitate;
after rotary evaporation, the collected evaporation liquid was dissolved in an aqueous phase to obtain a water-soluble component, and the collected precipitate was dissolved in an ethanol phase to obtain a fat-soluble component.
Referring to fig. 3, high performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed on the water-soluble component (water-soluble extract) and the fat-soluble component (fat-soluble extract), respectively, to confirm that rosmarinic acid was present only in the water-soluble component, and that rosmarinic acid was contained in the water-soluble component in addition to other active substances, corresponding to the experimental result of thin layer chromatography, and that carnosic acid was present only in the fat-soluble component, and that other active substances were less in the fat-soluble component, corresponding to the experimental result of thin layer chromatography.
It follows that the water-soluble component contains rosemary water-soluble antioxidants and the fat-soluble component contains rosemary fat-soluble antioxidants.
S06-1& S06-2, refining the re-dissolved water-soluble component and fat-soluble component respectively.
Specifically, after the water-soluble component and the fat-soluble component are decolorized and dried, respectively, a rosemary water-soluble antioxidant extract and a rosemary fat-soluble antioxidant extract are obtained. Since the preceding steps have performed maximum enrichment and removal of impurities from the target extract, the purpose of the so-called refining is to make the product more excellent in its quality and more stable in its quality. The decoloring adopts a decoloring agent for pigment adsorption, and the decoloring agent is any one of active carbon, activated clay and macroporous resin.
