[0021] The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] A method for extracting total saponins from Tung blossom tree, comprising the following steps:
[0024] Step 1: Choline chloride is selected as a hydrogen bond acceptor and lactic acid is selected as a hydrogen bond donor in a molar ratio of 1:2.2. Choline chloride and 40% water of the total amount of lactic acid are added, and then heated in a water bath with stirring until a transparent homogeneous liquid is formed to obtain a deep eutectic solvent.
[0025] Step 2: Weigh the coarse powder of Tung blossom leaves, add the coarse powder of Tung blossom leaves to the low eutectic solvent prepared in step 1 at a liquid-to-solid ratio of 70 mL / g, mix and place in an ultrasonic cleaning machine, the ultrasonic extraction temperature is 60°C, the ultrasonic-assisted extraction time is 180 min, and after the extract is cooled to room temperature, filter to obtain the Tung blossom total saponin extract.
[0026] This application first investigates the effects of DESs type, solvent system water content, DESs molar ratio, conventional solvent, liquid-to-solid ratio, ultrasonic temperature, and ultrasonic time on the extraction of total saponins from Tung tree through single-factor experiments.
[0027] according to Figure 1-Figure 7 The results of the single factor experiment were as follows: taking the extraction rate of total saponins from Tung tree as the index, the four influencing factors of extraction temperature, liquid-to-solid ratio, extraction time, and solvent system molar ratio were selected to design a four-factor three-level orthogonal test scheme. The orthogonal table of L9 (34) was used for the corresponding orthogonal test. It was found that when the ultrasonic temperature was 60℃, the ultrasonic time was 180min, the liquid-to-solid ratio was 80mL / g, and the choline chloride / lactic acid molar ratio was 1:2, the total saponins amount was 100.39mg / g. The results were optimized by artificial neural network. The optimal process conditions for total saponins from Tung tree were ultrasonic temperature 60℃, ultrasonic time 180min, liquid-to-solid ratio 70mL / g, and molar ratio 1:2.2. The results were analyzed with the results of the orthogonal test. The ultrasonic temperature and ultrasonic time were consistent with the molar ratio to a certain extent, while the liquid-to-solid ratio was significantly different from the orthogonal test optimization results. To address this issue, three parallel experiments were conducted on the process conditions obtained by artificial neural network optimization, and the total saponin extraction amounts of Tung tree were 107.86 mg / g, 110.59 mg / g, and 107.07 mg / g, respectively, with an average extraction amount of 108.51 mg / g.
[0028] Therefore, the present application provides a method for extracting total saponins from Tung blossom tree, which is optimized through single-factor experiments, orthogonal experiments and artificial neural network programs, and the extraction rate of the obtained method for extracting total saponins from Tung blossom tree is greatly improved.
