Methods for extracting flavonoids from Cymbidium goeringii stalks Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural waste utilization technology, specifically relating to a method for extracting flavonoids from Chrysanthemum indicum straw. Background Technology
[0002] Chrysanthemum, a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family and the Chrysanthemum genus, is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine and a plant designated by the Ministry of Health as both food and medicine, possessing significant medicinal and economic value. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that chrysanthemum is cool in nature, sweet and bitter in taste, and non-toxic, possessing the effects of dispelling wind and clearing heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight. Modern pharmacological studies have discovered that chrysanthemum contains various active ingredients such as volatile oils, chlorogenic acid, polysaccharides, and flavonoids, confirming that chrysanthemum has multiple biological functions, including anti-tumor, antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, cardiovascular protection, and immune regulation. These studies provide a theoretical basis for the full utilization of chrysanthemum resources. Huibai chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum variety with significant regional characteristics and excellent quality, widely cultivated in the Yellow River Delta region.
[0003] Currently, Huibai chrysanthemum is mainly used for processing its flowers into chrysanthemum tea or for direct medicinal use. After the flowers are harvested, the leaves, stems, and other stalks are mostly discarded. However, according to ancient Chinese medical texts, chrysanthemum stems and leaves have medicinal effects in treating sores, carbuncles, headaches, and dizziness, indicating that chrysanthemum stalks also contain similar active ingredients as chrysanthemum flowers. Modern analysis has shown that Huibai chrysanthemum stems, leaves, and stalks also contain total flavonoids, which have potential development and utilization value. The yield of Huibai chrysanthemum stalks is far higher than that of the flowers, and the waste of Huibai chrysanthemum stalks causes significant resource waste and environmental pollution. How to extract and recover the flavonoid components from Huibai chrysanthemum stalks and realize the resource utilization of Huibai chrysanthemum stalks is an important agricultural problem that urgently needs to be solved. Recycling and utilizing the flavonoid resources in Huibai chrysanthemum stalks and increasing the added value of Huibai chrysanthemum is of great significance for increasing income in the Huibai chrysanthemum industry and promoting rural revitalization.
