Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting glycyrrhizic acid from licorice. Firstly, glycyrrhizic acid is extracted from licorice quickly and efficiently by microwave-assisted extraction; Extraction, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is used in the extraction process to adjust the pH of the glycyrrhizic acid extract to 1.5-6, and after standing or centrifugal phase separation, the glycyrrhizic acid is enriched in the organic phase; using water as the solution, by adjusting the pH of the mixed solution to 6.0-12.0, carry out the back extraction of glycyrrhizic acid, and finally obtain the aqueous phase solution enriched with glycyrrhizic acid; then add activated carbon to decolorize the aqueous phase solution enriched with glycyrrhizic acid; the decolorized solution is acidified, left standing or centrifuged , and dried to obtain refined glycyrrhizic acid. The invention has the advantages of simple operation, high concentration and purification efficiency, less energy consumption, safety and reliability, low cost and environmental friendliness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting glycyrrhizic acid from licorice. Background technique [0002] Glycyrrhizic acid (Glycyrrhizic Acid, GA) is the earliest saponin component isolated from licorice. It consists of glycyrrhetinic acid and two molecules of glucuronic acid. Its structure is: [0003] [0004] Bibliography (the in-depth development and comprehensive utilization of Radix Glycyrrhizae in medicine etc., Hu Jinfeng, Shen Fengjia, Chinese herbal medicine, 26,39-44,1995) the pharmacological effect of glycyrrhizic acid is mainly manifested in: a) has the ability to induce interferon ( IFN) role. b) Hypolipidemic effect: reduce blood cholesterol content and treat atherosclerosis. c) Anti-HIV. In addition, glycyrrhizic acid is also widely used in industries such as food and cosmetics. [0005] The traditional leaching process generally adopts the method of heat reflux or decocting with water ("Pharmacopoeia of the People's Repub...
