Problems solved by technology

At present, domestic studies have been carried out on extracting theanine from the tea extract or the residual liquid after extracting tea polyphenols. However, the theanine obtained in the prior art is only a crude product, and the product has low purity. For example, China Patent Publication No. CN1587258A discloses a method for extracting theanine from tea leaves, and the purity of the obtained product is only 10%-30%

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting high-purity theanine from fresh tea leaves, and belongs to the technical field of chemistry of natural products. The method includes constant-temperature digestion, centrifugation, primary membrane concentration, solvent extraction, electrodialysis, membrane dialysis, secondary membrane concentration, vacuum concentration, ethanol extraction, crystallization and microwave drying. The method has the advantages that the method is substituted for conventional methods based on ion exchange adsorption, substantial reagents needed by elution of conventional techniques are reduced due to technological adoption of electrodialysis, and operation equipment is easy to acquire, so that the method is simple to operate, low in production cost and ecologically environment-friendly; experiments prove that the purity of products obtained according to the method can be more than 98% and separation efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of natural product chemistry, and in particular relates to a method for extracting high-purity theanine from fresh tea leaves. Background technique [0002] Amino acid is an important component of tea, and the system is named N-acetyl-γ-L-glutamine (N-ethyl-γ-L-glatamine). Theanine is an effective taste substance in green tea, the content of theanine directly determines the quality of tea: no matter what kind of tea, theanine accounts for more than 50% of the free amino acids in tea, and the content of theanine in dry tea is about 1%-2%. Theanine is the ethylamine inducer of glutamic acid. It is synthesized from glutamic acid and ethylamine in the roots of tea trees, transported to the leaves for storage through the trunk, and converted into catechins under sunlight. In 1950, Mr. Shuto first extracted and refined theanine from tea leaves, and determined its chemical structure. Since then, many scholars ha...
