Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to a method for purifying vitamin E, and further to a method for separating and purifying vitamin E from vitamin E powder. Background Art
[0002] Vitamin E (VE) is a fat-soluble vitamin and one of the most important antioxidants. It promotes reproduction and sex hormone secretion, increasing sperm motility and count in men; it increases estrogen levels in women, improving fertility and preventing miscarriage. It also slows aging, effectively reduces wrinkles, and maintains a youthful appearance. Vitamin E is a valuable vasodilator and anticoagulant, useful for preventing and treating varicose veins, preventing blood clotting, and reducing the appearance of streaky tissue.
[0003] Other functions of vitamin E include protecting T lymphocytes and red blood cells, resisting free radical oxidation, and inhibiting platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. In addition, it has a good therapeutic effect on burns, frostbite, capillary bleeding, menopausal syndrome, and beauty.
[0004] Chinese patent CN105585552A discloses a method for decolorizing and purifying vitamin E, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a composite decolorizing agent to decolorize a vitamin E product; (b) eluting the decolorized vitamin E product obtained in step (a) with an eluent by column chromatography, collecting the eluate fraction; and (c) concentrating the eluate fraction obtained in step (b) to obtain decolorized and purified vitamin E. In step (a), the composite decolorizing agent comprises activated clay: activated carbon: diatomaceous earth: magnesium silicate in a ratio of 100:50-100:30-70:10-50, calculated by mass. The vitamin E decolorization and purification method of the invention can lighten the color of vitamin E, reduce viscosity, improve fluidity, and improve the purity of vitamin E. Furthermore, the decolorization and purification process has low loss and a high vitamin E recovery rate.
[0005] Chinese patent CN102584769A discloses a method for preparing natural vitamin E with a content of 99% or more. The method involves dissolving 40% natural vitamin E in a certain proportion with 99% ethanol, cooling the mixture to approximately 15°C, and filtering to remove ethanol-insoluble matter. A secondary adsorption process is then employed, first using a macroporous adsorption resin to adsorb acidic impurities and pigments. The effluent is then adsorbed with an anionic strong base resin to remove natural vitamin E. The anionic strong base resin is then washed with 99% ethanol to remove impurities such as unadsorbed methyl esters. The vitamin E is then removed with a stripping agent, and the eluate is cooled to a certain temperature and filtered through a microporous filter to remove ethanol-insoluble matter. A specific stripping agent is added to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and adsorb other impurities. After filtering to remove the stripping agent, the mixture is concentrated, desolvated, and finally refined by three-stage molecular distillation. This invention provides a method for preparing a natural vitamin E containing 99% or more natural vitamin E, achieving a product with a content and purity that meets the quality requirements of EU countries.
