Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of natural product extraction methods, specifically relating to plant extracts rich in functional flavonoid compounds, as well as the preparation methods and applications of the aforementioned plant extracts. Background Technology

[0002] The bitter rose (Rosa sertata × Rosa rugosa) possesses a rich aroma and high medicinal and edible value. Bitter rose flowers are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and other chemical components, exhibiting various biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antithrombotic effects. These functional flavonoids have broad application prospects in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

[0003] Currently, research on the extraction of rose flavonoids mainly focuses on petals or buds, with less utilization of the calyx. In the extraction of rose essential oil and the production of fresh flower cakes, the calyx is often discarded in large quantities as a byproduct, causing resource waste and environmental pollution. Existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent CN121490006A (publication date: 2026.02.10) and Chinese Patent CN106317005B (publication date: 2020.331), disclose methods for extracting flavonoids from dried rose buds and rose petal residue water, respectively, but neither involves the extraction and utilization of specific functional flavonoid components (catechins, dihydromyricetin, quercetin) from the calyx of the bitter rose. There are currently no research reports on the extraction of these functional flavonoid compounds using the calyx of the bitter rose as raw material; their composition and content are still unclear, and systematic extraction process research is lacking. Therefore, developing an extraction method for the calyx of the bitter rose that is simple to operate, has high extraction efficiency, and can enrich flavonoid functional components such as catechin, dihydromyricetin, and quercetin is of great practical significance and economic value. This method would fill the research gap in this field and realize the high-value utilization of rose processing by-products. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] This invention provides a method for preparing plant extracts rich in functional flavonoid components such as catechin, dihydromyricetin, and quercetin, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Remove impurities from the calyxes of the bitter rose, dry them in a cool, ventilated place, and then crush them for later use; Preferably, a high-speed universal pulverizer is used to pulverize the dried calyx into fine powder with a relatively uniform particle size of 60-80 mesh. Step 2: Weigh out the calyx powder of bitter rose and extract it using ethanol solution as the extraction solvent. Extract the powder under the following conditions: ethanol solution concentration of 40%-50%, material-to-liquid ratio of 1:20-40 g / mL, ultrasonic temperature of 40-55℃, and ultrasonic time of 20-40 min. Preferably, the calyx powder of bitter rose is accurately weighed, and extraction is carried out using ethanol solution as the extraction solvent under the conditions of ethanol solution concentration of 42%, material-to-liquid ratio of 1:32, ultrasonic temperature of 50℃, and ultrasonic time of 32min. Step 3: Extract twice using the above method, combine the supernatants to obtain an extract rich in flavonoids, and then test the extract.

[0023] In step 1, a high-speed universal pulverizer is used to pulverize the dried calyx into fine powder with relatively uniform particle size. Compared with manual crushing or other coarse pulverizing methods, the uniform powder particle size can ensure that each particle has a similar contact area with the extraction solvent, so that the flavonoids in the cells can be extracted more fully and evenly, thereby improving the extraction efficiency. At the same time, since the cell structure inside the dried calyx is intact, the flavonoids are wrapped inside the cells, and the solvent can penetrate into the cells more easily after pulverization, thereby increasing the yield of flavonoids.

[0024] In step 2, the extraction solvent was an ethanol solution. A 42% (v / v) ethanol solution was chosen as the solvent after considering the polarity and solubility characteristics of the three flavonoids. Catechins (flavanols) have multiple ortho- and olfactory hydroxyl groups, a high proportion of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, relatively high molecular polarity, and good water solubility, being soluble in hot water and low-concentration ethanol. Dihydromyricetin (dihydroflavonols) has a hydrogen-saturated myricetin nucleus, numerous phenolic hydroxyl groups (multi-hydroxyl substitution), abundant hydrophilic groups, and moderate to strong polarity. Its solubility in pure water is poor, it is readily soluble in low-concentration alcohols, and its solubility in high-concentration ethanol is also poor. Quercetin (flavonoid glycosides) has a structure characterized by the introduction of hydrophilic sugar groups after glycosylation, improving water solubility, but still retaining the hydrophobic aglycone skeleton. Its solubility in pure water is poor, and low to medium concentration ethanol is the best fit. 42% ethanol has moderate polarity, which can effectively dissolve flavonoids while reducing the dissolution of some hydrophilic impurities and non-flavonoid lipid-soluble impurities.

[0025] In step 2, the material-to-liquid ratio is 1:32. This ratio ensures that there is enough solvent to fully wet and dissolve the flavonoids in the calyx powder, providing a sufficient solvent environment for the target components to diffuse and dissolve. If the material-to-liquid ratio is too small, such as 1:10, some flavonoids will not dissolve sufficiently, thus reducing the yield. If the material-to-liquid ratio is too large, such as 1:50, it will increase the energy consumption and cost of the subsequent concentration process, and the yield improvement will not be significant.

[0026] The ultrasonic temperature in step 2 is 50℃. This temperature is an optimized choice. Too high a temperature (such as above 70℃) may damage the structural stability of flavonoids and reduce their biological activity; too low a temperature (such as below 30℃) will slow down the thermal motion of molecules, reduce the diffusion rate of flavonoids, and decrease the extraction efficiency. At 50℃, the thermal motion of molecules is intensified, which can accelerate the dissolution of flavonoids from the calyx powder while ensuring that their structural integrity is not damaged.

[0027] The extraction in step 2 is ultrasound-assisted extraction, with an ultrasound time of 32 minutes. Utilizing the cavitation, mechanical, and thermal effects of ultrasound, the plant cell walls of the calyx of the bitter rose can be effectively destroyed, accelerating the release, diffusion, and dissolution of flavonoids within the cells. The 32-minute extraction time is optimized to ensure that the flavonoids are fully dissolved in the solvent to achieve extraction equilibrium, without increasing unnecessary energy consumption due to excessive time. If the time is too short, the extraction will be insufficient; if the time is too long, it may lead to increased dissolution of impurities or degradation of flavonoids.

[0028] Step 3, which involves two extractions, refers to performing three independent ultrasonic extractions on the same batch of calyx powder. The supernatants from the first two extractions are combined, and the extract obtained from the third extraction is used as the solvent for the first extraction in the next round. However, only the supernatant from the first two extractions is used for calculation. This extraction method can further dissolve the flavonoids remaining in the calyx powder after the first extraction, maximizing the yield of total flavonoids, ensuring full utilization of raw materials, saving ethanol resources, and recycling them. A single extraction often fails to completely dissolve the target components, while two extractions can significantly improve the yield.

[0029] The supernatant in step 3 is the extract obtained by combining two extractions. After two extractions, the solution will contain extracted flavonoids, undissolved impurities, and solvent. Centrifugation is used to separate the extracted flavonoids from most of the solid impurities. This extract is rich in three main flavonoids: catechin, dihydromyricetin, and quercetin. Catechins have various biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulation; dihydromyricetin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and hypoglycemic effects; and quercetin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardiovascular protective effects.

[0030] This invention is the first to utilize the calyx of the bitter rose (Rosa kusnezoffii) for the preparation of plant extracts rich in catechins, dihydromyricetin, and quercetin. Unlike existing technologies that primarily focus on rose buds or petals, this invention innovatively uses the calyx, a processing byproduct, as a raw material. This solves the resource waste and environmental pollution problems caused by discarding calyxes during rose essential oil extraction and fresh flower cake processing, while also enabling the preparation of plant extracts rich in various functional flavonoid components. The bitter rose calyx plant extract obtained by this method achieves a total flavonoid yield of 6.72%-9.60%, and is rich in the three main functional flavonoids: catechin (0.42-0.72 mg / mL), dihydromyricetin (0.23-0.34 mg / mL), and quercetin (0.17-0.31 mg / mL). This invention not only fills the gap in the research of functional plant extracts from the calyx of the bitter rose, turning waste into treasure, but also has the advantages of simple process, low cost and environmental protection, providing new ideas for the development of the entire bitter rose industry chain and the creation of high value-added functional products.
