Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of natural product extraction, and in particular to a method for preparing high-quality Cyclocarya paliurus total triterpenoid saponins. Background Art

[0002] Cyclocarya paliurus, a genus of Cyclocarya paliurus in the Juglandaceae family, is a tall, fast-growing tree that is a specialty of my country. It is widely distributed in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. According to the "Chinese Traditional Medicine Resources", its leaves, bark and roots can be used as medicine, with warm nature, spicy and slightly bitter taste, and have the functions of clearing heat and swelling, detoxifying and relieving pain. For a long time, the folks have traditionally taken its leaves to make tea as a beverage, which has the effects of clearing heat and reducing summer heat, lowering blood pressure, treating hypertension and diabetes, and even prolonging life, so it is also called sweet tea tree, magic tea tree, and money tree.

[0003] The most important natural active ingredients in Cyclocarya paliurus are triterpenoids. There are many types of triterpenoids in Cyclocarya paliurus, including triterpenoid saponins and triterpenoid acids.

[0004] The triterpenoid saponins in Cyclocarioside paliurus, such as cyclocarioside I, cyclocarioside II, and cyclocarioside III, are new natural sweeteners that can meet the sweetness needs of patients with hyperglycemia without aggravating their condition. They also have a good effect in lowering blood sugar, lipids, and blood pressure.

[0005] CN102432660A discloses a method for extracting and separating cyclocarya paliurus glycoside I, which comprises crushing dried cyclocarya paliurus leaves, adding biological enzymes for enzymolysis for 1-3 days, adding 8-12 times of 60-90% ethanol solution to the enzymolysis raw materials, soaking and extracting at a temperature of 50-90°C for 1-3 times, concentrating the extract to an extract, adding an appropriate amount of water for dispersion, adding water-saturated n-butanol for extraction 2-4 times, combining the extracts, adding acetone for precipitation, filtering, concentrating and drying the filtrate to obtain a crude extract, adding an appropriate amount of an organic solvent of ethyl acetate and methanol system for reflux extraction, concentrating the extract, cooling, crystallizing, and recrystallizing with anhydrous methanol to obtain cyclocarya paliurus glycoside I. The method involves acetone, n-butanol, and ethyl acetate flammable solvents; and involves ethyl acetate and methanol crystallization and recrystallization, with large solvent residues, and is not suitable for higher requirements for medicinal and cosmetic uses, and the use of the product is limited.

[0006] CN109364119A discloses a method and application for preparing total triterpenes with hypoglycemic effect from Cyclocarya paliurus leaves, which uses Cyclocarya paliurus leaves as raw materials, extracts through ethanol-water mixed solvent, extracts through organic solvent liquid-liquid, elutes through polyamide column chromatography with organic solvent, and elutes through macroporous resin column chromatography with ethanol-water, to obtain total triterpenes of Cyclocarya paliurus. The content of total triterpenes of Cyclocarya paliurus obtained by this method is low, and a large amount of flammable and explosive organic solvents are used, which is not suitable for industrial production.

[0007] CN110917240A discloses a continuous method for separating multiple active ingredients from Cyclocarya paliurus, and the steps are as follows: using Cyclocarya paliurus dry leaves as raw materials, obtaining Cyclocarya paliurus triterpenoid saponins with a content of more than 88% through alkaline water percolation, centrifugation, non-polar macroporous resin adsorption, elution, decolorization and other steps; adjusting the pH value of the non-polar macroporous resin column effluent to neutral, medium polar or polar macroporous resin adsorption, elution, and other steps to obtain Cyclocarya paliurus flavonoids; the medium polar or polar macroporous resin column effluent is subjected to nanofiltration, decolorization, reduced pressure concentration and other steps to obtain Cyclocarya paliurus polysaccharides. This method uses a relatively large amount of alkali and acid, and the damage to the active ingredients of Cyclocarya paliurus is also relatively strong, resulting in unnecessary losses.

[0008] CN112870254A discloses a method for separating flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides from Cyclocarya paliurus by a continuous method, and the steps are as follows: using Cyclocarya paliurus dry leaves as raw materials, enzymatic hydrolysis, high-concentration low-carbon alcohol percolation extraction, ceramic membrane filtration, anion and cation exchange resin column decolorization, desalination, polyester amide resin adsorption of flavonoids, and effluent concentration and drying to obtain a product with a Cyclocarya paliurus saponin content of 90%. This method uses a large amount of high-concentration low-carbon alcohol, and the solvent cannot be reused for a second time, the production cost is high, and the flavonoids are separated by polyester amide resin column, and the plasticizer residue and solvent residue of the Cyclocarya paliurus saponin product obtained cannot be guaranteed.

[0009] Currently, the extracts of Cyclocarya paliurus on the market often have an unpleasant bitter and astringent taste. In addition, in order to completely remove the pesticide residues and heavy metal trace components in the product, special pesticide removal resins or metal chelating agents are often used to completely remove these harmful impurities, but this will lead to a decrease in the yield of total triterpenoid saponins of Cyclocarya paliurus. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for preparing total triterpenoid saponins of Cyclocarya paliurus, which has a good taste, pure sweetness, no pesticide, heavy metal, organic solvent and plasticizer residues, and a high yield. Summary of the invention
