Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the fields of phytochemistry and food chemistry, in particular to a method for efficiently obtaining betulin from birch bark by using ultrasonic extraction combined with a reflux method. Background technique
[0002] White birch (Betula platyphylla Suk) is a plant of the genus Betula in the Betaceae family. It is a cold-resistant deciduous tree with a height of about 15 meters. Birch bark and birch sap have the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, relieving cough and eliminating phlegm. In recent years, the pharmacological effects of birch bark have been widely valued by scholars at home and abroad. The chemical composition of birch bark is complex and the pharmacological effects are diverse. Its extracts have antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, lipid-lowering, choleretic and hepatoprotective effects. . Extensive research has been done abroad on the chemical composition and utilization of bark such as Betula verruca a...
