The invention provides a high-purity
crocin extraction and
separation method and application thereof, and relates to the field of industrial dyestuff, the high-purity
crocin extraction and
separation method comprises the following steps: S1,
raw material preparation, S2, device preparation, S3, crude extraction for later use, S4, preliminary purification and S5, advanced purification. The industrial dye is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 0.3 to 0.7 part of high-purity
crocin, 3 to 6 parts of
ethanol, 0.1 to 0.3 part of
citric acid, 3 to 5 parts of
urea, 5 to 7 parts of table salt, 0.03 to 0.06 part of
vitamin C, 0.04 to 0.07 part of
sodium benzoate, 1.2 to 1.5 parts of natural
plant color fixing agent, 1.2 to 1.5 parts of bio-based color fixing agent and the balance of deionized water. By using a multi-stage dynamic countercurrent ultrasonic extraction technology, crocin in a crushed
gardenia raw material can be efficiently extracted, the concentration difference between a
solvent and the
raw material is gradually increased, the extraction efficiency is improved through multi-stage extraction, full contact of the
solvent and the raw material is ensured, the extraction efficiency is improved through dynamic stirring, and
plant cell walls are destroyed; ultrasonic-assisted acceleration of release of effective components is realized, and extraction efficiency is improved.
