Benefits of technology

This patented technology uses certain chemical compounds from plants called betaxols (chemically related molecules) that have unique properties like being effective against bacteria or viruses without causing damage when ingested into humans. These chemistry allows these substances to effectively kill harmful microorganisms while reducing their impact upon human body's wellbeing. By combining this two different processes together, they improve both quality control measures such as extractive efficiency and ultraviolet light absorbance detection. Ultimately, this new technique makes production more efficient than current methods but still produces higher levels of impurities compared to previous techniques.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the quality of extracted beta hydrocarbons found within certain types of plant sources like luteks or worts while maintaining their stability during storage without decomposing themselves.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for extracting xanthohumol from hop and an obtained product thereof. The method mainly comprises the following steps: pulverized hop is extracted through supercritical carbon dioxide; a hop raffinate is collected and is subjected to ultrasonic extraction through methanol (ethanol) as an extractant; an extraction solution is condensed, is evenly mixed with diatomite and is successively eluted by two kinds of eluants; and the collected eluant is subjected to filtering and low-temperature condensation treatment to obtain the pure xanthohumol product. The purity of the obtained xanthohumol is 86.2 percent. The purified xanthohumol is a yellow powdery solid; and after the purified xanthohumol is recrystallized, the purity can reach over 97.8 percent. The method can achieve the functions of simplifying the xanthohumol extraction process and reducing the cost for purifying the xanthohumol. The obtained xanthohumol can be widely used in medicine, chemical engineering, food and other fields.
