Problems solved by technology

[0007] The above-mentioned method 1 has the disadvantages of many reaction steps, high cost, difficult operation, large environmental pollution and low solvent recovery rate in large-scale production.
The above method 2 has the advantages of simple operation, short process, short solvent, easy recovery and low environmental pollution. However, due to the small difference in solubility between the components of phytosterols, the selection of suitable solvents and operating conditions is the bottleneck for effective separation.
Although the above-mentioned method 3 has high extraction purity, the equipment cost is too large, and it is difficult to realize large-scale production

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of extracting beta-sitosterol from n-pentanol solvent crystallization. Under certain temperature, alcohol of 95 percent with 7 times the amount of crude sterols is used to carry out thermal dissolution on the crude sterols; impurities are filtered through micropores; filter liquor is pumped into a cold separation reactor be filtered after being cooled to 10 DEG C; a filter cake and the alcohol are added into a reactor according to the mass ratio of 3 : 1, fully mixed and filtered; n-pentanol and the filter cake with the mass ratio of 3 to 5 : 1 are added into the reactor, temperature then rises to 40 DEGC plus/minus 2 DEG C, and the n-pentanol and the filter cake are fully mixed keeping the temperature unchanged; the steps are repeated to ensure that content of the beta-sitosterol in the filter cake achieves above 90 percent, and then the filter cake is dried in vacuum, crashed, sieved and packaged into a finished product. Compared with other solvent methods, the invention has high product yield and low cost. Solvent mixture is used in other solvent methods, while the invention uses single solvent n-pentanol having easy recovery and simple operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting β-sitosterol, in particular to a method for extracting β-sitosterol by n-amyl alcohol solvent crystallization. Background technique [0002] β-sitosterol is a kind of phytosterol, which belongs to steroidal compounds, has strong anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, and has antipyretic effect similar to acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin); long-term research experiments show that β-sitosterol -Sitosterol can inhibit colorectal cancer induced by chemical carcinogens; as we all know, phytosterols can effectively reduce serum cholesterol levels and play a role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. Recent studies have shown that β-sitosterol hinders cholesterol It shows quantity selectivity during absorption. When the cholesterol intake is less than 100mg, it hardly shows any hindering effect, but if it reaches 400-450mg, even if onl...
