Embodiment 1

[0036] Add 130g of marigold extract (10.1% lutein content), a mixed solvent of 270ml ethanol and tetrahydrofuran, wherein the ratio of ethanol: tetrahydrofuran is 6: 1, add successively in a 1000ml three-necked bottle, dissolve, and heat to 50°C, continue Stir for 10 minutes until the extract is completely dissolved. Dissolve 26.0g of KOH in 120ml of water, slowly pour the solution into a three-necked flask, and stir evenly. The mixture was heated to 65 degrees Celsius and reacted for 1.5 hours. Stop heating, add 260ml of deionized water to the three-necked flask at the same time, continue to stir for 30 minutes, then filter, then vacuum-dry at 50°C for 2 hours to obtain 15.6g of an orange-yellow crude product with a lutein content of 75.5%. The yield of lutein was 89.7%.

[0037] Take 10.0g of crude lutein, add 2.5L of acetone, heat to 50°C to dissolve, filter while hot, and then wash the insoluble matter with 0.5L of hot acetone until the color of the residue turns brownis...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Using the same raw materials and the same amount of solvent as in Example 1, add it to a 1000ml three-neck bottle for dissolution, heat to 50°C, and continue stirring for 10 minutes until the extract is completely dissolved. Dissolve 26.0g of KOH in 120ml of water, slowly pour the solution into a three-necked flask, and stir evenly. The mixture was heated to 60°C and reacted for 1.5 hours. Stop heating, then add 260ml of deionized water to the three-necked flask, continue to stir for 30 minutes, then filter, and vacuum dry at below 50°C for 2 hours to obtain 15.5g of orange-yellow crude product with a lutein content of 74.7%. The saponification temperature is 60°C, and the yield of lutein is 88.2%.

[0041] Take 10.0g of crude lutein, add 2.5L of acetone, heat to 50°C, filter while hot, and then wash the insoluble matter with 0.5L of hot acetone until the color of the residue turns brownish yellow, remove the insoluble matter, The acetone solution was combined, and at...

Embodiment 3

[0044] Using the same raw materials as in Example 1, the ratio of the mixed solvent for saponification is ethanol: tetrahydrofuran = 5.5: 1.2. Add 130g of marigold extract and 270ml mixed solvent to a 1000ml three-neck bottle to dissolve in sequence, heat to 50°C, and continue stirring for 10 minutes until the extract is completely dissolved. Another 26.0g of KOH was dissolved in 120ml of water, and then the solution was slowly poured into a three-neck flask, stirred evenly, heated to 65°C, and reacted for 1.5 hours. Stop heating, add 260ml of deionized water to the three-necked flask at the same time, continue to stir for 30 minutes, then filter, and vacuum dry at 50°C for 2 hours to obtain 15.7g of an orange-yellow crude product with a lutein content of 74.5%. The yield of lutein was 89.0%. The proportion of tetrahydrofuran in the above mixed solvent increased, but the yield and purity of lutein did not change significantly.

[0045] Take 10.0g of crude lutein, add 2.5L of...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method to extract, separate and purify natural pigment especially high purity lutein, which comprises the following steps: extracting patuletin; getting concrete; using as raw material; dissolving in mixed solvent of alcohol and tetrahydrofuran; adding into KOH water solution; heating the mixed liquid; saponifying; adding into deionized water; crystallizing; filtering; drying; getting lutein rough product; extracting with acetone; evaporating the acetone; leaching with alcohol; getting purified free state lutein. This invention possesses high purity, which is fit for raw material of food additive and medical health products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting, separating and purifying natural pigments, in particular to a method for preparing food-grade high-purity lutein. Background technique [0002] Lutein, also known as "plant lutein", is a tetraterpenoid natural pigment widely present in plants in nature. This substance belongs to carotenoids and is the main component of plant pigments such as vegetables, fruits, and flowers. point. According to foreign research, the content of lutein is the highest in dark green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, kale, spinach and flowers such as marigold flowers. Followed by pumpkin, peaches, mangoes, citrus and other fruits. The natural pigment has the advantages of bright color, strong coloring power, safety, non-toxicity, and rich nutrition, and has been widely used in various fields such as food, cosmetics, medicine, tobacco, and poultry feed. At the same time, the compound is an antioxidant with excellent perform...
