Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction, in particular to a preparation method and application of a soapberry leaf extract. Background Art

[0002] Soapberry is a deciduous tree of the Sapindaceae family distributed in tropical and subtropical countries. It is a traditional cleaning and medicinal plant in my country. Its roots, bark, leaves, peel, seeds, etc. can all be used as medicine. The main active ingredients of soapberry are triterpenoid saponins and sesquiterpenoid glycosides. They all have strong surface activity and are natural non-ionic surfactants that can be used as natural surfactants in natural cleaning products. In addition, they have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and insecticidal effects. Soapberry is the plant with the highest saponin content known to date, and its saponins are mainly found in the peel, followed by flowers and leaves.

[0003] Currently, the main part of soapberry used is the fruit, and research and utilization of other organs are extremely rare. In particular, research on extracting saponins from the leaves, which are large and renewable, is even rarer, resulting in a huge waste of resources. Therefore, developing a process for extracting total saponins from soapberry leaves has great practical significance and good application prospects for improving the economic value of soapberry.

[0004] Numerous methods are currently available for isolating and purifying soapberry saponins, including water extraction and alcohol precipitation, organic solvent extraction, enzymatic extraction, macroporous resin methods, and microbial liquid fermentation. While water extraction and alcohol precipitation are the most commonly used, the resulting saponin yield and purity are low. Microorganisms, however, can significantly decompose macromolecules that are difficult to remove using physical and chemical methods. Furthermore, microbial fermentation methods offer significantly higher product purity than conventional water extraction methods.

[0005] Among them, the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN116173548 A discloses a method for extracting soapberry saponins using a supramolecular solvent, comprising dissolving an amphiphile in ethanol or acetonitrile, adding water, vortexing, centrifuging, and taking the upper phase to obtain a supramolecular solvent; drying and crushing the soapberry, adding a supramolecular solvent and cellulase, and using an electric field-mediated superdynamic crushing method to treat the composite supramolecular solvent to screen out a superior supramolecular solvent suitable for the industrial extraction of soapberry saponins. This invention can increase the extraction rate of soapberry saponins to about 95% in a short period of time; however, its supramolecular solvent is a chemical reagent, which poses the risk of low safety and environmental factors.

[0006] Chinese invention patent application publication number CN105434234 A discloses a pure natural plant-based cleanser and preparation method. The raw materials, by weight, include: 4-8 parts soapberry, 1-3 parts saponin, and 1-3 parts tea dregs. The preparation involves drying, pulverizing, repeated enzymatic extraction, water extraction, and clarification. This invention utilizes enzymatic hydrolysis to promote the release and conversion of active ingredients, yielding a natural plant extract rich in plant saponins and nutritional trace elements. However, the enzymatic hydrolysis process is relatively costly to commercialize.

[0007] A Chinese invention patent application, publication number CN104804880 A, discloses a method for preparing a natural cleanser by microbial fermentation of soapberry peel. The main process steps are to crush the soapberry peel after high-temperature drying and then extract it with deionized water at a suitable temperature for 1 to 24 hours. The aqueous extract is inoculated with 1% to 10% acclimated logarithmic-phase Bacillus subtilis or yeast and cultured at a controlled temperature for 2 to 30 days. The microorganisms degrade impurities such as sugars, proteins, small-molecule pectins, and cellulose in the aqueous extract, producing saponins of high purity. However, this invention uses soapberry peel as the raw material for a water extraction, followed by liquid fermentation and purification of the aqueous extract. While the saponin purity is improved, the yield is low. Furthermore, the liquid fermentation control conditions are relatively stringent. If the fermentation conditions are not properly controlled, the saponins in the extract will be utilized by the microorganisms, reducing their content. Most importantly, the liquid fermentation process is small-scale and costly, limiting the industrialization of this method.

[0008] To address the above problems, the present invention utilizes a novel solid fermentation method as a pretreatment method, and then adopts a countercurrent extraction technique to extract saponin components from soapberry leaves. This invention has developed an extraction technology that is environmentally friendly, efficient, economical, high in added value, and highly industrializable, laying a solid foundation for the industrialized production of soapberry saponins.

After the inoculation is completed, the surface of the inoculated culture medium is covered with sterile gauze, and then placed in a solid incubator for culturing at 28 to 32 ° C and 68 to 72% RH for 3 to 4 days; during the culturing process, the material is turned over once;

[0035] S5. After culturing for 3 to 4 days, ventilate to reduce humidity, slowly dry the obtained material, and gradually transform the mycelium into spores. Then continue culturing for 1 to 3 days, stop culturing, separate and collect spores, and obtain spore powder and pretreated material.

[0192] Experimental Example 1 Component Analysis of Sapindus Mukorossi Leaf Extract

[0193] The total saponin components of the extracts Z1-Z5 and DZ1-DZ2 prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were analyzed, wherein the ivy saponin standard was used as the reference (the liquid phase diagram of the ivy saponin standard is as follows Figure 6 The content and transfer rate of total saponins were determined by chromatographic analysis and spectrophotometry. The specific results are as follows:

[0194] Table 1 Summary of the test results of extracts from soapberry leaves

[0195]

[0196] As can be seen from Table 1, the hederagenin and total saponin contents in the soapberry leaf extract prepared in Example 1 were significantly higher than those in Comparative Example 1. This shows that using the same extraction process, whether or not the soapberry leaf is subjected to solid fermentation pretreatment using Aspergillus niger has a significant effect on the hederagenin and total saponin contents, indicating that the present invention can greatly improve product yield and transfer rate by using Aspergillus niger to treat the soapberry leaf with solid fermentation. At the same time, the hederagenin and total saponin contents in the soapberry leaf extract prepared in Example 4 were significantly higher than those in Comparative Example 2. This shows that even if Aspergillus niger is used to treat the soapberry leaf with solid fermentation pretreatment under the same conditions, simply changing the ratio of the soapberry leaf to bran, cottonseed hulls, quicklime, and magnesium sulfate can also affect the hederagenin and total saponin contents to a certain extent.

[0197] In summary, it can be seen that the specific preparation method of the present invention can effectively improve the yield and purity of the product.

[0198] Experimental Example 2 Application of Sapindus mukorossi Leaf Extract

[0199] 1. Antibacterial test

[0200] 1) Experimental methods:

[0201] Test basis: "Disinfection Technical Specifications" (2002 edition)

[0202] Test conditions: Test environment temperature 20.1-22.5℃, relative humidity 49-53%RH

[0203] 2) Preparation of antibacterial spray

[0204] According to weight percentage, 10% of the soapberry leaf extract Z1 or DZ1 prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, 0.5% of low-viscosity hydroxyethyl cellulose (viscosity is generally 10-500 cps), 5% of glycerol, 2% of propylene glycol, and 82.5% of purified water are prepared into an antibacterial spray (i.e., the soapberry leaf extract Z1 is prepared into the antibacterial spray ZW1, and the soapberry leaf extract DZ1 is prepared into the antibacterial spray DZW1).

[0205] 3) Experimental results

[0206] Antibacterial sprays ZW1 and DZW1 were used for antibacterial experiments. Antibacterial spray DZW1 was used as experimental group 1 and antibacterial spray ZW1 was used as experimental group 2. Microbial inhibition experiments were performed on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, respectively. The results are shown in the table below.

[0207] Table 2 Antibacterial test results

[0208]

[0209] Note: Evaluation standard: Technical Specifications for Disinfection, 2002 edition; if the antibacterial rate is >50-90%, the product has antibacterial effect; if it is >90%, it has strong antibacterial effect.

[0210] As can be seen from Table 2, the soapberry leaf extracts prepared according to the present invention have a good antibacterial effect. Specifically, the antibacterial effect of the soapberry leaf extract Z1 prepared in Example 1 of the present invention is significantly better than that of the soapberry leaf extract DZ1 prepared in Comparative Example 1. This indicates that the soapberry leaf extract prepared by the specific preparation method of the present invention has a better antibacterial effect than the soapberry leaf extract prepared by the traditional extraction method. Furthermore, this also indicates that the soapberry leaf extract with a higher saponin content has a better antibacterial effect.

[0211] 2. Decontamination ability test

[0212] 1) Experimental Materials

[0213] Soapberry saponin extract, laundry detergent, photoelectric colorimeter, medical gauze

[0214] 2) Experimental methods

[0215] Preparation of surfactants: Take soapberry leaf extract Z1, soapberry leaf extract DZ1 and laundry detergent as surfactants, and use 250ppm hard water to prepare corresponding washing liquids (i.e. laundry detergent washing liquid, soapberry leaf extract washing liquid ZX1 prepared from soapberry leaf extract Z1, soapberry leaf extract washing liquid DZX1 prepared from soapberry leaf extract DZ1), each washing liquid contains 0.5% surfactant and is set aside.

[0216] Preparation of oil stain: Weigh 10 parts of peanut oil, 10 parts of soybean oil, 10 parts of water and 6 parts of caramel color according to the weight ratio, mix well to obtain mixed oil stain, and set aside.

[0217] Preparation of dirty cloth: Take a cut white rag (10×10 cm), add 5 mL of mixed oil to each rag, rub it evenly, dry it and set aside.

[0218] A photoelectric colorimeter was used to read the whiteness of each dirty cloth surface by the intensity of reflected light. The photoelectric colorimeter was used to read the reflectivity of 5 locations on both the front and back sides of each piece of dirty cloth, and the average value was used as the floodlight of the dirty cloth. During the dirty cloth washing process, four groups of washing liquids were used to wash the dirty cloth, among which 250ppm hard water was used as the negative group, laundry detergent solution was used as the positive group, soapberry leaf extract washing liquid DZX1 was used as experimental group 1, and soapberry leaf extract washing liquid ZX1 was used as experimental group 2. An electric stirrer was used at room temperature at 160r / min. After stirring for 3 minutes, the dirty cloth was taken out and washed twice with tap water. After washing, each piece of dirty cloth was naturally dried and the whiteness value of the dirty cloth surface was read again using a photoelectric colorimeter. The specific results are shown in the table. Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown.

[0219] Decontamination rate DE = [(R W -R S ) / (R0-R S )]×100%

[0220] in,

[0221] R0 is the whiteness value of the original white cloth;

[0222] R S is the whiteness value of the soiled cloth before washing;

[0223] R W It is the whiteness value of the dirty cloth after washing.

[0224] Depend on Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the soapberry leaf extracts prepared according to the present invention all have significant detergency. Specifically, the soapberry leaf extract Z1 prepared in Example 1 of the present invention has significantly better detergency than the soapberry leaf extract DZ1 prepared in Comparative Example 1. This indicates that the soapberry leaf extract prepared by the specific preparation method of the present invention has stronger detergency than the soapberry leaf extract prepared by conventional extraction methods, and its detergency is substantially comparable to that of conventional laundry detergents. Furthermore, this also indicates that the soapberry leaf extract with a higher saponin content has even stronger detergency.

[0225] 3. Rat Anti-inflammatory Model Test

[0226] 1) Experimental Materials

[0227] Experimental animals: SPF grade rats, weighing 80-100 g, male.

[0228] Reagents: chloral hydrate, distilled water, Propionibacterium acnes, etc.

[0229] Instruments: high-definition camera, digital thickness gauge, electric hair clipper, etc.

[0230] 2) Preparation of anti-inflammatory acne gel

[0231] By weight percentage, 2.5% of the soapberry leaf extracts Z1 and DZ1 prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, 2% of medium-viscosity hydroxyethyl cellulose (viscosity is generally 3000-10000 cps), 5% of glycerin, 2% of propylene glycol and 88.5% of purified water were prepared into corresponding anti-inflammatory and anti-acne gels (i.e., the soapberry leaf extract Z1 was prepared into the anti-inflammatory and anti-acne gel ZJ1, and the soapberry leaf extract DZ1 was prepared into the anti-inflammatory and anti-acne gel DZJ1).

[0232] A blank gel was prepared by taking 2% of medium-viscosity hydroxyethyl cellulose (usually with a viscosity of 3000-10000 cps), 5% of glycerol, 2% of propylene glycol and 91% of purified water by weight.

[0233] 3) Experimental methods

[0234] Sixteen rats were randomly divided into four drug-treated groups, namely blank group, model group, experimental group 1, and experimental group 2, with four rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the rats in the other groups were subjected to acne-induced inflammation model on the inside and outside of the left ear. After the model was successfully established, the corresponding gel was applied to the inside and outside of the left ear of the rats in each drug-treated group. The blank group and the model group were applied with blank gel, the experimental group 1 was applied with anti-inflammatory acne gel DZJ1, and the experimental group 2 was applied with anti-inflammatory acne gel ZJ1. The gel was applied twice a day for 5 consecutive days. Then, the thickness of the left and right ears of each experimental animal was measured with a digital thickness gauge, and the thickness difference between the left and right ears of each experimental animal was calculated. The ear swelling rate of the rats and the therapeutic effect on acne were observed. The specific results are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

[0235] Wherein, rat auricle swelling rate (%) = (left ear thickness - right ear thickness) / right ear thickness × 100%

[0236] Depend on Figure 9 and Figure 10 As can be seen, compared with the model group, the auricle swelling rate of rats in experimental group 1 decreased, but the auricle swelling rate of rats in experimental group 2 decreased significantly, the auricle papules and pustules subsided significantly, and the auricles felt soft to the touch, showing a good therapeutic effect on inflammation and acne. This indicates that the soapberry leaf extract prepared by the specific preparation method of the present invention has better anti-inflammatory and detumescent effects than the soapberry leaf extract prepared by the traditional extraction method. Furthermore, it can also be shown that the soapberry leaf extract with a higher saponin content has better anti-inflammatory and detumescent effects.

[0237] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
