This invention relates to the field of
plant extract preparation technology, and particularly to a low-
oxalic acid, high-activity fresh
purslane extract, its preparation method, and its applications. This invention uses freshly harvested purslane as
raw material. Except for washing, the entire process of pulverization,
enzymatic hydrolysis,
filtration, and concentration does not require additional process water, directly producing a raw homogenate. After acidification,
enzymatic hydrolysis with compound enzymes,
enzyme inactivation,
filtration, pressing, and
oxalic acid removal, the extract is obtained through low-temperature vacuum
oxygen-free concentration. This invention requires no organic solvents and can efficiently retain the total flavonoids, total polysaccharides, and
phenolic acid active ingredients. The resulting extract contains ≥1.0% total flavonoids, ≥5.0% total polysaccharides, ≥30% solids, and ≤0.05%
oxalic acid. This invention solves the problems of activity loss,
dilution with added water, oxalic acid
irritation, large oxidation losses, and unstable industrialization associated with traditional processes. The process is gentle and can be automated for
mass production, making it suitable for
cosmetics,
personal care products, food, and functional foods.
