Problems solved by technology

The cost of polyamide adsorption and macroporous resin adsorption is very high, and the acetic acid precipitation method is not suitable for industrial production. The recrystallization method is currently a method commonly used by curcumin production enterprises. This method has the advantages of high purity and low cost of curcumin obtained, and is suitable for industrial production. Advantages, but there is a problem of low crystallization yield of curcumin
[0003] On the other hand, curcumin can be directly filled into capsules as a raw material for dietary supplements or pharmaceutical preparations, and the fluidity and bulk density of curcumin are required in the filling or tableting process, while the curcumin produced by the existing process Curcumin products have the defects of low bulk density and poor fluidity, which seriously affect the direct application of curcumin in fields such as pharmaceutical preparations

Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving the crystallization yield of curcumin. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out first evaporation treatment on a turmeric extracting solution until a first turmeric concentrated solution with the total solid content of 15-40% is formed, adding a poor solvent, carrying out second evaporation treatment at the same time until a second turmeric concentrated solution with the total solid content of 50% or more is formed, and then carrying out cooling and crystal growth to obtain a turmeric crystal, wherein the adding rate of the poor solvent is 25-120 ml / h, and the ratio of the evaporation rate of the second evaporation treatment to the adding rate of the poor solvent is (1.5-4):1. According to the method, the product quality is improved while the product crystallization yield is increased, the process is simple, the operability is high, the production cost is low, and industrialization is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of separation and purification, in particular to a method for improving the crystallization yield of curcumin. Background technique [0002] Curcumin is a natural yellow phenolic compound extracted from plants of the genus Curcuma (Zingiberaceae) such as turmeric, zedoary, and turmeric. It is currently widely used in medicine, food, feed, and dyeing industries. The extraction process of turmeric includes traditional percolation extraction, acid-base extraction, salicylic acid extraction, and now commonly used ultrasonic-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical extraction, enzymatic extraction, etc. The crude curcumin obtained by the above methods often contains turmeric oil , turmeric resin, etc., so that the purity of curcumin is low and needs to be refined. Common refining methods include polyamide adsorption, macroporous resin adsorption, acetic acid precipitation, recrystallizat...
