Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sample pretreatment technology, specifically a method for the compound extraction and rapid detection of quercetin in Panax notoginseng. Background Technology

[0002] Quercetin, a natural polyhydroxy flavonoid compound, is widely found in various traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, including Panax notoginseng. It possesses pharmacological properties such as expectorant, antitussive, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, and anticancer effects, and is a major component of some traditional Chinese medicine preparations and health products. Therefore, its extraction from natural sources has attracted considerable attention. However, the content of quercetin in natural products is low; for example, the mass percentage of quercetin in natural Panax notoginseng is typically less than 0.1%. Furthermore, the extraction of active ingredients is highly susceptible to the influence of complex matrices. Polysaccharides and saponins in Panax notoginseng can form complexes with quercetin, making separation difficult and limiting further development and application. Reported total flavonoid extraction processes include solvent extraction, ultrasonic extraction, and microwave extraction.

[0003] Traditional solvent extraction methods require prolonged high-temperature reflux, which not only damages the hydroxyl structure of quercetin but also results in high solvent residue, affecting product quality and increasing process costs and complexity. While atmospheric pressure ultrasonic extraction shortens the extraction time, the temperature of the extract solution easily rises above 60°C under atmospheric pressure, potentially degrading the heat-sensitive quercetin during extraction. The working principle of vacuum ultrasonic extraction is to use vacuum reduction to lower the boiling point of the solution in the extraction tank, thereby achieving rapid and effective extraction of heat-sensitive components from the material at a lower temperature. Compared with traditional water extraction, alcohol extraction, or ultrasonic extraction, vacuum ultrasonic extraction offers significantly better extraction results, featuring low temperature and low pressure, and a high yield of active ingredients.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a compound extraction and rapid detection method for quercetin in Panax notoginseng, which is used to determine the content of quercetin in Panax notoginseng and solves the problems of slow extraction speed, low extraction yield, unstable yield and large matrix interference in the existing extraction process of quercetin in Panax notoginseng.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the compound extraction and rapid detection of quercetin in Panax notoginseng, comprising the following steps: S1: Take the pretreated Panax notoginseng powder and mix it with an ethanol aqueous solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:20-60 to ensure that the powder and solvent are in full contact. The pretreatment specifically involves: vacuum freeze-drying the lumpy Panax notoginseng and then pulverizing the lumpy Panax notoginseng to obtain Panax notoginseng powder. S2: The Panax notoginseng powder is enzymatically hydrolyzed using a compound enzyme, wherein the compound enzyme is 0.5%-1.5% of the mass of the Panax notoginseng powder, and the compound enzyme is composed of cellulase, pectinase, polysaccharide enzyme, hemicellulase and amylase. The enzymatic hydrolysis conditions are: pH=5-6, enzymatic hydrolysis time is 1-1.5h, and enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 45-55℃. S3: Heat the solution obtained in step S2 to 85°C for enzyme inactivation treatment; S4: Connect the three ports of the three-way valve to the vacuum pump, the sealed sample container, and the atmosphere respectively. First, open the container to the atmosphere. After starting the vacuum pump, switch the valve position to allow the vacuum pump to evacuate the container. When the required vacuum level is reached, turn the valve to the closed position to cut off the passage. Turn off the vacuum pump, disconnect the container connection, and quickly place it into an ultrasonic extractor containing an appropriate amount of water. Set the ultrasonic frequency to 40kHz and the ultrasonic temperature to 25℃ to extract the solution obtained in step S3 and obtain the extract. S5: Centrifuge the extract obtained in step S4, take the supernatant, filter it through a 0.45 μm filter membrane to remove residual fine particles and colloidal impurities in the extract for chromatographic analysis; S6: Perform high performance liquid chromatography analysis on the sample obtained in step S5, record the chromatogram, plot the standard curve with concentration as the abscissa and peak area as the ordinate, calculate the regression equation, calculate the quercetin content, and analyze the yield.

[0007] Preferably, the particle size of the Panax notoginseng powder in step S1 is 10-20 μm.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, quercetin in Panax notoginseng is preserved to the maximum extent during vacuum freeze-drying. After freeze-drying, the Panax notoginseng has a low moisture content, its properties are similar to fresh Panax notoginseng, it is in a puffed state, has a bright and glossy color, and a high rehydration rate, making it usable as fresh Panax notoginseng. In addition to retaining the original color and shape of fresh Panax notoginseng, freeze-dried Panax notoginseng also has a full appearance, bright color, low moisture content, is easy to preserve, has a loose texture, is easy to crush, and has good rehydration properties; it can absorb water and restore its original shape in a short time after soaking, which is beneficial for the dissolution of active ingredients.

[0009] Preferably, the amount of Panax notoginseng powder used in step S1 is 0.5 g.

[0010] Preferably, the alcohol-water solution in step S1 has a strength of 40%-80%.

[0011] Compared with the traditional method of using a solid-liquid ratio of 1:40 to 1:50, this method preferably uses a solid-liquid ratio of 1:30 and a 60% ethanol aqueous solution, which reduces the amount of solvent used by about 25%, thereby reducing experimental costs and the pressure of subsequent waste liquid treatment.

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of cellulase, pectinase, polysaccharide enzyme, hemicellulase and amylase in step S2 is (2-3):(2-3):(1-2):(0.5-1):(0.5-1).

[0013] Preferably, the enzyme activity of any one of the enzymes in the complex enzyme is ≥5×10⁻⁶. 4 U / g.

[0014] Using the above technical solutions, cellulase mainly breaks down cellulose (the main structural component of plant cell walls) to produce small molecules such as glucose; pectinase breaks down pectin (the binding substance in the intercellular matrix of plants), helping to separate cells or soften tissues. Hemicellulase breaks down hemicellulose in plant cell walls into oligosaccharides or monosaccharides; amylase can break down large starch molecules into smaller molecules.

[0015] Enzymatic hydrolysis with compound enzymes can break down large molecules into smaller molecules. At the same time, the loose cell wall structure makes it easier for depressurized ultrasound energy to penetrate, increasing solvent penetration efficiency by 3-5 times, achieving an extraction synergy of "1+1>2".

[0016] Preferably, the ultrasonic extractor is set to 40 kHz and 25 °C in step S4.

[0017] Preferably, the ultrasonic extraction time in step S4 is 5-25 min.

[0018] Preferably, in step S5, the centrifugation speed is 3000-3500 r / min and the centrifugation time is 5-8 min.

[0019] Preferably, the chromatographic conditions in step S6 are as follows: a 0.2% aqueous solution of phosphoric acid and acetonitrile in a volume ratio of 50:50 are selected as the mobile phase, a C18 column is selected, the detection wavelength is 372 nm, the flow rate is 1 mL / min, the injection volume is 20 μL, and the analysis time is 7 min.

[0020] Using the above technical solution, this invention achieves rapid dissolution of the effective components in the Panax notoginseng powder matrix through the synergistic mass transfer effect of decompression and ultrasound. The pretreated sample is centrifuged to obtain the extract, which is then directly subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. This reduces the detection time of the target analyte to less than 5 minutes, while simultaneously increasing the analytical throughput, making it suitable for batch sample detection.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) Faster analysis speed. Conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of each quercetin sample requires approximately 20 minutes. This invention utilizes a depressurized ultrasonic extraction coupled with HPLC for ultra-fast and efficient analysis of quercetin in Panax notoginseng powder. By leveraging the synergistic mass transfer effect of depressurization and ultrasound, the effective components in the Panax notoginseng powder matrix are rapidly dissolved. The pretreated sample is centrifuged to obtain the extract, which is then directly analyzed by HPLC, reducing the detection time of the target analyte to less than 5 minutes and simultaneously increasing the analytical throughput, making it suitable for batch sample detection. This invention combines depressurized ultrasonic extraction with HPLC and simultaneously optimizes the experimental procedures for pretreatment and detection, shortening the complete detection time of a single sample to approximately 15 minutes. This method provides an ultra-fast analytical approach for the detection of quercetin in Panax notoginseng powder, significantly reducing the analysis time.

[0022] (2) Higher yield of target components. Compared with traditional solvent extraction methods such as maceration extraction, reflux extraction, and atmospheric pressure ultrasonic extraction, the reduced pressure environment can lower the boiling point of the extraction solvent and reduce the thermal degradation of quercetin. At the same time, the synergistic effect of freeze drying, enzymatic cell disruption, and reduced pressure ultrasonication can enhance the penetration of the solvent into Panax notoginseng powder, resulting in more complete dissolution of quercetin.

[0023] (3) Better extraction efficiency. Traditional solvent extraction methods generally take 30-60 min. This method combines the synergistic mass transfer effect of freeze drying-enzymatic hydrolysis-reduced ultrasound, and optimizes the extraction time to 15 min, which reduces the time by more than 50% and does not require long-term heating.

[0024] (4) The solvent is more economical and environmentally friendly. Compared with the 1:40~1:50 solid-liquid ratio commonly used in traditional methods, this method prefers a solid-liquid ratio of 1:30 and a 60% ethanol aqueous solution, which reduces the amount of solvent used by about 25%, thereby reducing experimental costs and the pressure of subsequent waste liquid treatment.

[0025] (5) This invention utilizes a combination of freeze-drying, enzymatic hydrolysis, vacuum extraction and ultrasonic technology. This method is universal and applicable to the rapid dissolution of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, providing a reference for the efficient extraction of active ingredients from plant samples.

[0087] Table 2 Comparative Example 8 The difference from Example 1 is that step S4 is normal pressure ultrasound, while the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0088] Experimental Example 1 Experimental groups: Example 1 and Comparative Example 8; Perform high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis according to the chromatographic conditions, record the chromatogram, and the chromatographic results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown in Table 3, a standard curve was plotted with concentration on the x-axis and peak area on the y-axis. The regression equation was calculated to determine the quercetin content. Both RSD values ​​were within a reasonable range. The average quercetin content extracted by the depressurized ultrasound group was significantly higher than that extracted by the normal pressure group, approximately 1.5 times higher. Furthermore, the detection time for the depressurized ultrasound group was 15 minutes, while that for the normal pressure ultrasound group was 30 minutes, indicating that depressurized ultrasound can further shorten the detection time.

[0089] Table 3. Extraction of quercetin from Panax notoginseng powder by different extraction methods Experimental Example 2 Experimental groups: Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

[0090] Experimental method: High performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed according to chromatographic conditions to calculate the quercetin content.

[0091] Experimental results: See Table 4 for details.

[0092] Table 4 Referring to Table 4, the quercetin content in the Panax notoginseng powder without vacuum freeze-drying was significantly lower than that in Example 1, indicating that quercetin in Panax notoginseng was preserved to the maximum extent during vacuum freeze-drying, which is beneficial for the dissolution of active ingredients during extraction. Meanwhile, the detection time in Example 1 was 15 min, and in Comparative Example 1 it was 25 min; the pretreated Panax notoginseng powder could further shorten the detection time. The synergistic effect of pretreatment and reduced-pressure ultrasound not only enhances the solvent's penetration into the Panax notoginseng powder, resulting in more complete dissolution of quercetin, but also further shortens the detection time.

[0093] Experimental Example 3 Experimental groups: Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-9.

[0094] Experimental method: High performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed according to chromatographic conditions to calculate the quercetin content.

[0095] Experimental results: See Table 5 for details.

[0096] Table 5 As can be seen from Table 5, the synergistic effect of the components in the compound enzyme more effectively increases the content of quercetin. The synergistic effect of freeze drying, enzymatic hydrolysis, and depressurized ultrasound can enhance the penetration of the solvent into Panax notoginseng powder, making the dissolution of quercetin more complete.
