Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for simultaneously extracting limonin and crude fat from pomelo nucleus by using a solvent acetone. The method comprises: (1) pretreatment: peeling pomelo nucleus to obtain pomelo nucleus kernel, drying the pomelo nucleus kernel, and breaking; (2) extraction: adding an acetone solvent to the broken pomelo nucleus kernel, extracting 1-7 times, and recovering the solvent to obtain a mixture; and (3) separation: adding an ethanol aqueous solution with a volume fraction of 50-95% to the mixture, stirring, carrying out static layering or centrifugation to obtain crude fat and an ethanol solution containing limonin, and recovering the solvent in the solution to obtain limonin. According to the present invention, limonin and crude fat are simultaneously extracted from the pomelo nucleus by using the one solvent acetone, wherein the recovery rates of limonin and crude fat can respectively achieve more than 95% under the preferred conditions, the product is easy to separate, and acetone is the renewable solvent, has the low boiling point, and is easily recycled; the method is easy to enlarge, can be used for large-scale production, does not requirecomplicated equipment, and is easy to operate; and the prepared limonin can be used as the drug preparation raw material, and the crude fat can be used as food and feed after being refined, and can beused as the raw material for the preparation of fine chemicals, slow release fertilizers or controlled release fertilizers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of pomelo seeds, and specifically relates to a method for simultaneously extracting limonin and crude fat from pomelo seeds by using a solvent—acetone. Background technique [0002] Pomelo core, also known as pomelo core, is the seed of Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr., a Rutaceae plant, which is rich in limonin, crude fat, flavonoids and fat-soluble vitamins. Discarded pomelo cores not only result in a waste of resources, but also put enormous pressure on the environment. Limonin is a class of compounds that can replace part of the furan ring. It has certain biological activities. The most important thing is that it can be used to prevent cancer. At the same time, it also has anti-oxidation, inhibits liver microsomal metabolism, and regulates cholesterol levels in the human body. Improve sleep quality, increase appetite, improve digestion, anti-virus and effectively inhibit virus re...
