Problems solved by technology

Both silver resin chromatography and silver nitrate complexation use expensive silver nitrate, and the recovery of silver nitrate is difficult and pollutes seriously
High-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet method often uses acetonitrile / tetrahydrofuran / water or methanol / tetrahydrofuran / water as the mobile phase system. In this system, acetonitrile is relatively toxic, and tetrahydrofuran is easy to introduce peroxides, resulting in a decline in product quality.
In addition, silver resin chromatography, silver nitrate complexation, supercritical fluid chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet method also cannot realize simultaneous separation and obtain purity greater than 99% EPA ethyl ester and DHA ethyl ester

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing ethyl eicosapentaenate (EPA) and ethyl docosahexaenoate (DHA) and relates omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The method comprises: preparing prepared solution to be separated by using a fish oil coarse raw material, which contains ethyl EPA and ethyl DHA, and using an organic solvent as a solvent; transferring the prepared solution to be separated into a material storage tube of a semi-prepared / prepared high-efficiency liquid chromatography-mass spectrum combined apparatus system, starting the semi-prepared / prepared high-efficiency liquid chromatography-mass spectrum combined apparatus system of which a mobile phase is aqueous solution of methanol or ethanol, balancing a chromatographic column, sampling automatically, separating and purifying ethyl EPA and ethyl DHA, and trigging a distillate collector by a mass spectrum online detection signal to collect pure ethyl EPA liquid and ethyl DHA liquid separately and automatically; and subjecting the pure ethyl EPA and ethyl DHA to reduced pressure concentration, extraction and reduced-pressure concentration respectively and thus obtaining ethyl EPA and ethyl DHA, of which the purities are both over 99 percent. The method is characterized by simple and convenient operation and high yield and is suitable for automatic control and synchronous separation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an omega-3 series polyene long-chain fatty acid, in particular to a preparation method of EPA ethyl ester and DHA ethyl ester with a purity greater than 99%. Background technique [0002] All cis-5, 8, 11, 14, 17-eicosapentaenoic acid (cis-5, 8, 11, 14, 17-Eicosapentaenoic Acid, EPA) and all cis-4, 7, 10, 13, 16 , 19-docosahexaenoic acid (cis-4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19-Docosahexaenoic Acid, DHA) all belong to the omega-3 series of polyene long-chain fatty acids, that is, the third from the terminal methyl group There are double bonds on each carbon, and the multiple double bonds in the molecule are in the non-conjugated system, and they are all in the cis configuration. EPA and DHA products usually come as ethyl ester compounds, EPA ethyl ester (EPA-EE) and DHA ethyl ester (DHA-EE). [0003] EPA and DHA are essential omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids for the human body, and have good curative effects in the treatment and prevention o...
