The invention provides a preparation method of
neohesperidin without
heavy metals. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1)
impurity removal: crushing raw materials, removing impurities by using a cold
aqueous solution containing basic salt and
alcohol, filtering and collecting
impurity-removed residues; (2) extraction; (3)
flocculation: adding a flocculating agent into permeate,flocculating under an acidic condition, then performing
solid-liquid separation, and collecting the permeate overnight; (4)
chromatography: enabling the obtained permeate to pass through a cation exchange column, and collecting
effluent; (5) coarse
crystallization; (6) recrystallization: dissolving the obtained coarse crystals, and then recrystallizing; (7)
nanofiltration; and (8)
drying and crushing. According to the method provided by the invention, extraction separation, purification and heavy
metal removal are performed by adopting the processes of removing impurities by using a low-temperature basic salt
alcohol solution, flocculating by using acidic
chitosan, removing impurities such as
heavy metals by using
ion exchange resin, performing coarse
crystallization by using a low-temperature
alkoxide solution, recrystallizing by using
acetic acid and the like, so that a pure natural
neohesperidin product with high purity and no
heavy metals is obtained, the purity of the
neohesperidin is 98 percent or above, and the yield is 90 percent or above.
