Prepn process of licoflavone from licorice and licorice slag

Abstract

The present invention discloses preparation process of licoflavone from licorice and licorice slag, and features licoflavone is extracted from crushed licorice or licorice slag after extracting glycyrrhetic acid through adding organic solvent for soaking, filtering, and concentrating the filtrate; and that the prepared licoflavone contains licochalcone, isoliquiritigenin, glabidin, liquiritin, liquiritigenin and other components. The preparation process is simple, high in yield and suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting and preparing compounds from plants. Specifically, it is a method for extracting and preparing licorice flavonoids from licorice and licorice waste residue. Background technique [0002] Glycyrrhiza licorice is the dry root and rhizome of Glycyrrhizae uralensis Fisch, Glycyrrhizae glabra L and G.inflata. It has the effects of invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi, clearing heat and detoxification, relieving cough due to fear of phlegm, relieving spasm and relieving pain, and coordinating various medicines. Licorice mainly contains triterpenes and flavonoids, and its triterpenoids, glycyrrhizic acid, are widely used in food flavorings, food and tobacco additives, in addition to being used as medicines. [0003] Historically, the use of licorice extracts has been limited to glycyrrhizic acid, but few people have studied the preparation of flavonoids from licorice and licorice residue. The waste re...
