Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plant active ingredient extraction, and in particular relates to a method for synergistically extracting proanthocyanidins and dihydroquercetin from pine bark. Background Art

[0002] Pine bark is a byproduct of pine wood processing, containing a variety of active chemical components, and has extremely high development and utilization value. Among them, proanthocyanidins and dihydroquercetin are two extremely important functional compounds in pine bark, showing wide application potential in the fields of medicine, health products and cosmetics.

[0003] Proanthocyanidins are a class of natural polyphenol compounds that exist in the form of polymers. Their biological activities mainly manifest in anti-oxidation, cardiovascular protection, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging, and immune regulation. Studies have shown that the antioxidant capacity of proanthocyanidins is significantly better than that of vitamin C and vitamin E, and can effectively scavenge free radicals and inhibit oxidative stress reactions. Proanthocyanidins can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases by inhibiting the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and improving vascular function. Its unique polyphenol structure can regulate inflammatory responses and reduce the release of inflammatory factors. It also has excellent performance in delaying skin aging. As a natural immune enhancer, proanthocyanidins show good potential in improving the body's immune function.

[0004] Dihydroquercetin is a typical representative of flavonoids and has attracted much attention due to its unique biological activity. Its main effects include: anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, antioxidant and microcirculation improvement, cardiovascular protection and immunomodulation. Dihydroquercetin relieves inflammatory responses by inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors and exhibits inhibitory effects on a variety of pathogens. Its potent antioxidant capacity can protect cells from free radical damage, while significantly improving microcirculation and promoting blood flow. Dihydroquercetin can reduce blood viscosity, enhance vascular elasticity, and has a good preventive and mitigating effect on cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. In addition, it can also enhance the body's immunity and fight against external pathogens.

[0005] CN109574976B and CN102924420B disclose a method for preparing dihydroquercetin from larch roots; CN103360359B discloses a method for preparing dihydroquercetin from larch wood; CN118852085A discloses a highly water-soluble pine bark extract and a preparation method thereof; CN112159383A discloses a method for extracting proanthocyanidins using pine bark. CN105175380B discloses a method for preparing proanthocyanidins from Yunnan pine bark. The above technologies are only optimized for a single target component of dihydroquercetin or proanthocyanidins, resulting in waste or loss of the remaining active ingredients, and a low comprehensive resource utilization rate. CN105175380B discloses a method for preparing proanthocyanidins from Yunnan pine bark. The invention uses an enzyme-high-voltage pulsed electric field assisted extraction method. Although the extraction rate and purity are high, the equipment is expensive and the operation is complicated, which is not suitable for industrial natural product extraction and food industry. At the same time, the traditional method has low extraction efficiency and uses more organic solvents, which is not conducive to environmental protection.

[0006] The high molecular weight polymerization of proanthocyanidins and the small molecular weight of dihydroquercetin pose challenges to separation technology. So far, no research has been found that can simultaneously extract proanthocyanidins and dihydroquercetin from pine bark. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for synergistically extracting proanthocyanidins and dihydroquercetin from pine bark.
