Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of double salt preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt. Background Art

[0002] Glucosamine is a synthetic substance in the human body. It is an important raw material for glycoproteins, glycolipids and other large-scale drugs. It is an important nutrient for the formation of cartilage cells and a natural tissue component of chondroitin, a key to health. It participates in the formation of organs such as tendons, ligaments, skin, bones and heart valves. Studies have shown that glucosamine can help repair and maintain cartilage and stimulate the growth of chondrocytes.

[0003] Glucosamine compounds mainly exist in the form of N-acetylglucosamine. Its hydrochloride and sulfate can significantly relieve the pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism and improve walking conditions. It can prevent, treat and repair connective tissue damage, and has a certain effect on bone and joint inflammation. It also helps to heal acute and chronic wounds. In addition, important components of human joints contain "sulfate", which will be easier to absorb for glucosamine that also contains "sulfate". However, glucosamine sulfate is very easy to absorb moisture, easy to oxidize, and unstable in nature, which is not conducive to practical application.

[0004] Considering that glucosamine sulfate double salt has stable properties and can better meet the actual needs of the market, developing an industrial production method with simple process flow, low cost and energy saving has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt from chitosan in one step, in view of the problems existing in the prior art. The method has a simple process flow, can save energy consumption, reduce costs, and is suitable for the industrial production of glucosamine sulfate double salt.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The invention discloses a method for preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt, which comprises the steps of using hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid to hydrolyze chitosan, and then adding carbonate to prepare glucosamine sulfate double salt in one step.

[0008] In order to overcome the problems of complicated process, high cost, unstable quality, easy moisture absorption and discoloration of finished products in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt from chitin in one step. The method uses hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid to mix and hydrolyze chitin, and adds potassium and sodium carbonates. The prepared glucosamine sulfate double salt meets national standards, and the process is simple and easy to operate, the reaction is complete, the yield is high, the cost is low, and it is convenient for industrial production.

[0009] Further, the following steps are included:

[0010] S1. Chitosan pretreatment: First, remove the impurities in the raw material, add 1.5 mol / L hydrochloric acid and soak at room temperature for 12 hours, then use 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide to reflux and boil for 3 hours, dry and crush, pass through a 20-mesh sieve, and set aside;

[0011] S2, adding a mixed acid of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid to the chitosan pretreated in step S1, and hydrolyzing for 2 to 6 hours to obtain a mixed solution of D-glucosamine hydrochloride and D-glucosamine sulfate;

[0012] S3. Take the mixed solution obtained in step S2, add an appropriate amount of carbonate, stir until completely dissolved, concentrate by rotary evaporator, let stand at room temperature, filter, and obtain a crude product of glucosamine sulfate double salt.

[0013] S4. Take the crude product and add water in a mass ratio of 1.0:(2.0-5.0), stir until completely dissolved, add activated carbon at 55°C-70°C for decolorization for 0.5h-2h, concentrate the decolorized solution, wash the solid with an organic solvent, and dry to constant weight to obtain the glucosamine sulfate double salt.

[0014] In the present invention, in step S1, hydrochloric acid is used to soak the chitosan raw material at room temperature to remove inorganic salt components, and sodium hydroxide is used to reflux and boil to remove protein.

[0015] It is worth noting that the present invention performs acid-base pretreatment on the chitosan raw material to remove excess inorganic salts and proteins, which has the effect of reducing the generation of by-products in the reaction system and helps to improve product quality.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the molar ratio of chitosan to hydrochloric acid is 1.0:(1.0-3.0), the molar ratio of chitosan to sulfuric acid is 1.0:(0.5-1.5), and the hydrolysis temperature is 80°C-95°C.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S2, the mass concentration of hydrochloric acid is 25% to 37%, and the mass concentration of sulfuric acid is 60% to 98%.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S3, the molar ratio of D-glucosamine to carbonate is 1.0:(0.5-1.2), and the carbonate is one of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium carbonate.

[0019] It is worth noting that the process of directly preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt by ion exchange by adding carbonate to hydrolyzate in the present invention has a faster reaction speed and a more complete reaction than ion exchange resin, and has the characteristics of saving energy consumption, reducing costs and simple process.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, the organic solvent is one or more of methanol, ethanol and acetone.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S4, the amount of organic solvent added is 0.2 to 6.0 times the amount of the remaining substance after concentration.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the method for preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt from chitosan in one step provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention uses chitosan as a raw material, and prepares glucosamine sulfate double salt by co-hydrolysis with two acids and ion exchange. Compared with the multi-step preparation method of preparing glucosamine hydrochloride from chitosan and then preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt, the process is reduced, the process is simpler and more direct, the product yield is improved, and the production cost is effectively reduced.

[0024] 2. The present invention adopts a process of directly preparing glucosamine sulfate double salt by ion exchange by adding carbonate to hydrolyzate. Compared with ion exchange resin, the ion exchange reaction speed is faster and the reaction is more complete. It has the characteristics of saving energy consumption, reducing costs and simple process.

[0025] 3. The preparation process of glucosamine sulfate double salt disclosed in the present invention has controllable quality and high yield; the prepared glucosamine content (98% to 102%), specific rotation (+47° to 53°), sulfate content (15.5% to 16.5%), pH value (3.0 to 5.0), impurity limit, etc. all meet national standards.
