Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bio-extraction technology, and in particular to a method for extracting volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Lavender volatile oil is extracted from lavender (Lysimachia fenum-graecum Hance), a plant belonging to the genus Lysimachia in the Primulaceae family. Also known as lavender or herb, it is mainly produced in Guangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan provinces in my country. It is a valuable raw material for the fragrance industry and is widely used to flavor high-end cigarettes and alcohol. Lavender also has a pungent, sweet, and warm nature, and has the effects of clearing heat, promoting qi circulation, relieving pain, and expelling parasites. It is used to treat colds, headaches, toothaches, sore throats, chest tightness, and abdominal distension, thus having high medicinal value.

[0003] Currently, there are many methods for extracting plant essential oils, and the conditions for different methods vary considerably, resulting in different extraction rates. Furthermore, research has found that the extraction method significantly impacts the aroma, composition, and activity of essential oils. The traditional method for extracting plant essential oils is steam distillation. This method is simple, inexpensive, and widely used, suitable for extracting highly volatile components that are not easily destroyed by high temperatures and do not react with water. However, it is not suitable for extracting heat-labile components. However, steam distillation has drawbacks such as long extraction time, high energy consumption, and a tendency to lose volatile, heat-sensitive, and polar molecules from the essential oil, leading to lower quality essential oils. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method for extracting volatile oil from *Gynura divaricata* and its application, solving the problem of low extraction quality of volatile oil from *Gynura divaricata* in the prior art. Specifically, it is achieved through the following techniques.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for extracting volatile oil from *Gynura divaricata*, comprising the following steps:

[0006] The *Lingxiang* micro powder and the enzymatic decomposition system were added to the bacterial culture mixture for fermentation to obtain *Lingxiang* fermentation broth.

[0007] The fermented broth of the fragrant grass was sequentially subjected to ultrasonic extraction and microwave extraction, and then freeze-dried into a fine fermented powder.

[0008] The fermented powder was extracted using supercritical CO2 fluid extraction to obtain a paste.

[0009] The paste was subjected to solvent extraction to obtain a solvent extract; the solvent extract was then separated and purified to obtain volatile oil of *Gynura divaricata*.

[0010] The microbial mixture includes Aspergillus oryzae CICC40108, Penicillium citrinum CICC2689, and Aspergillus niger CICC41796; the amount of microorganisms added to the microbial mixture is 0.01-0.1 g / L based on the total volume of the fermentation system.

[0011] The enzymatic degradation system includes flavin mononucleotide (FMN), lipoic acid (prosthetic group L), pyrophosphate (prosthetic group TPP), and pyridoxine phosphate (prosthetic group P-CH2NH2); the amount of the enzymatic degradation system added is 0.2-0.5 g / L based on the total volume of the fermentation system.

[0012] The *Aspergillus oryzae* CICC40108, *Penicillium citrinum* CICC2689, and *Aspergillus niger* CICC41796 used in this invention can all produce various cellulases, including cellulase, β-glucanase, and xylanase. These enzymes can decompose cellulose into cellulose monomers or oligosaccharides with lower polymerization degrees, disrupt the cell wall structure, and promote the release of volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*. The four raw materials in the enzymatic decomposition system of this invention are all coenzymes, capable of hydrolyzing or degrading the components of the cell wall (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin), disrupting the cell wall structure, and dissolving, suspending, or gelling the intracellular components in the solvent, thus promoting the release of volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*. This invention, by combining cellulose-decomposing bacteria with an enzymatic reaction system to extract volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, fully utilizes the synergistic effect of both, significantly improving the extraction efficiency of volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*.

[0013] Further, the mass ratio of Aspergillus oryzae CICC40108, Penicillium citrinum CICC2689, and Aspergillus niger CICC41796 is (0.4-0.45):(0.42-0.52):(0.03-0.18).

[0014] Further, the composition consists of flavin mononucleotide (FMN), lipoic acid (prosthetic group L), pyrophosphate (prosthetic group TPP), and pyridoxine phosphate (prosthetic group P-CH2NH2), with a mass ratio of (0.3-0.38):(0.1-0.15):(0.4-0.45):(0.02-0.2).

[0015] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the *Lysimachia christinae* micro powder to the bacterial strain is 100:(0.1-0.3).

[0016] Optionally, the fermentation conditions include: a fermentation temperature of 25-35℃ and a fermentation time of 120-144 h.

[0017] Optionally, the microbial mixture is prepared by inoculating Aspergillus oryzae CICC40108, Penicillium citrinum CICC2689 and Aspergillus niger CICC41796 into a fermentation medium and then activating them.

[0018] Optionally, the activation treatment conditions include: adjusting the pH of the fermentation medium to neutral, the culture temperature to 28-30℃, and the culture time to 60-80 h.

[0019] Optionally, the ultrasonic extraction process is as follows: extraction at a temperature of 33-42℃ and an ultrasonic power of 60-180 W for 45-60 min; the microwave extraction process is as follows: extraction at a microwave power of 200-600 W for 60-120 s.

[0020] Secondly, the present invention also provides a volatile oil of *Gynura divaricata*, which is obtained by the above-described extraction method.

[0021] Thirdly, the present invention also provides the application of volatile oil of *Gynura divaricata* in the preparation of mosquito repellent dispersion.

[0022] Optionally, the mass percentage of geranium volatile oil in the mosquito repellent dispersion is 4-12%.

[0023] The volatile oil of *Lingcao Xiang* obtained by this invention has a strong scavenging ability against DPPH free radicals, thus exhibiting strong antioxidant properties. When the obtained *Lingcao Xiang* volatile oil is applied to mosquito repellent treatment, it has a good mosquito repellent effect.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0025] 1. The *Aspergillus oryzae* CICC40108, *Penicillium citrinum* CICC2689, and *Aspergillus niger* CICC41796 used in this invention can all produce various cellulases, including cellulase, β-glucanase, and xylanase. These enzymes can decompose cellulose into cellulose monomers or oligosaccharides with lower polymerization degrees, disrupt the cell wall structure, and promote the release of volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*. The enzymatic decomposition system in this invention can hydrolyze or degrade the components of the cell wall (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin), disrupting the cell wall structure and dissolving, suspending, or gelling the intracellular components in the solvent, thus promoting the release of volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*. This invention, by combining cellulose-decomposing bacteria with an enzymatic reaction system to extract volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, fully utilizes the synergistic effect of both, significantly improving the extraction efficiency of volatile oil from *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*.

[0026] 2. The volatile oil of *Lingcao Xiang* obtained by this invention has a strong scavenging ability against DPPH free radicals, thus exhibiting strong antioxidant properties. The obtained *Lingcao Xiang* volatile oil was mixed with D-limonene to prepare a mosquito repellent dispersion. The experimental results showed that the volatile oil of *Lingcao Xiang* had a good mosquito repellent effect. Attached Figure Description

[0061] More specifically, the sample was extracted three times each with chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol, and the extracts from the three extractions were combined.

[0062] Specifically, the solvent extract is separated and purified to obtain the volatile oil of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*. The specific steps include: First, the solvent extract is mixed with Sevag reagent in an equal proportion, stirred at room temperature for 30 min, centrifuged at low temperature, and then introduced into a separatory funnel to collect the supernatant solution.

[0063] The Sevag reagent consists of chloroform and methanol in a volume ratio of 10:(1-1.5).

[0064] Then, the collected supernatant solution was centrifuged to remove the precipitate, and this process was repeated until no precipitate formed at the interface between the upper and lower layers.

[0124] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 3-5 As can be seen, the three substances in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 share common characteristic peak positions, indicating that the extracts of Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 mainly contain the same types of compounds. Among the common peak positions are 2951.28, 2923.67, 2922.61, and 2920.00 cm⁻¹. -1 The infrared peaks at these locations are out-of-plane antisymmetric stretching vibration peaks of CH; 1655.95, 1641.63, 1674.69 cm⁻¹. -1 Peaks associated with the stretching vibration of the aldehyde group (C=O): 1450.9, 1435.92, 1454.29, 1446.94 cm⁻¹ -1 The peaks at these locations belong to the in-plane stretching vibration peaks of the C=C group in olefins; 876.31, 888.57, and 837.14 cm⁻¹. -1 The nearby transmission peaks indicate the presence of a ring-like structure. This is consistent with... Figure 1 The characteristic peaks of D-limonene in the infrared spectral analysis were basically consistent. The characteristic peak of the cyclic structure at 876.31 in Example 3 was significantly stronger than that in Comparative Examples 1-3, which is consistent with the extraction rate results.

[0140] Comparative Examples 8-9: The Synergistic Effect of Enzymatic Decomposition System and Microbial Mixture on Extraction Efficiency / Component Ratio in Volatile Oil. Comparative Examples 8-9 prepared volatile oil of *Gnaphalium affine* using essentially the same steps as in Example 3.

The extraction rate results are shown in Table 7 below.

[0142]

[0143] As shown in Table 1, the extraction efficiency of volatile oil from *Gnaphalium affine* decreased significantly when an enzymatic decomposition system or a mixed microbial culture was lacking.

[0144] Experimental Example 1: Determination of the scavenging ability of safflower volatile oil essential oil against DPPH free radicals

[0145] 1. Measurement method:

[0146] The essential oil of *Gynura divaricata* obtained in Example 3 was diluted with anhydrous ethanol to obtain *Gynura divaricata* essential oils with a mass concentration of 10-50 mg / mL. The mass concentrations of *Gynura divaricata* essential oils at different concentrations are shown in Table 8.

[0147] Table 8. Volatile oil of *Gynura divaricata* at different concentrations

[0148]

[0149] Add 6.0 mL of 0.6 mmol / L DPPH solution and shake well. After reacting for 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min, measure the absorbance at 517 nm. Use anhydrous ethanol instead of DPPH solution as the sample background and DMSO instead of vanilla extract as the blank control to calculate the scavenging rate.

[0150]

[0151] In the formula: C l Here, A0 represents the clearance rate, and A is the absorbance of the blank control. i A represents the absorbance of the experimental group. j The absorbance is the background absorbance of the sample.

[0152] 2. Measurement Results

[0153] The scavenging ability of vanilla volatile oil against DPPH free radicals is shown in Table 9.

[0154] Table 9. DPPH radical scavenging rate of different concentrations of vanilla volatile oil dilutions

[0155]

[0156] Table 5 shows that the DPPH radical scavenging rate of each concentration of vanilla styrax volatile oil dilution increased rapidly from 0 to 60 min. From 60 to 90 min, the trend of DPPH radical scavenging rate of each concentration of vanilla styrax volatile oil dilution gradually leveled off. Meanwhile, the DPPH solution remained basically stable within the prepared 90 min period. Therefore, 60 min was selected as the reaction time for vanilla styrax volatile oil to scavenge DPPH radicals, resulting in the best DPPH radical scavenging rate.

[0157] Furthermore, with the addition of different concentrations of vanilla scabra volatile oil, the scavenging rate of DPPH free radicals gradually increased, and the color of the DPPH free radical solution changed from dark purple to light purple, eventually turning yellow. This indicates that the ability of vanilla scabra volatile oil to scavenge DPPH free radicals increases with increasing concentration. At a concentration of 50 mg / mL, the scavenging rate of vanilla scabra volatile oil for DPPH free radicals essentially reached saturation.

[0158] At a concentration of 50 mg / mL, the volatile oil of *Gynura divaricata* exhibited a scavenging rate of up to 83.19% against DPPH free radicals. Furthermore, at a lower concentration of 20 mg / mL, the scavenging capacity of *Gynura divaricata* volatile oil against DPPH free radicals also reached 10.97%. Therefore, *Gynura divaricata* volatile oil possesses extremely strong scavenging ability against DPPH free radicals, thus demonstrating its properties.

[0159] Application example: Preparation of mosquito repellent dispersion using the volatile oil of *Gynura divaricata*.

[0160] The volatile oil of *Lysimachia christinae* obtained in Example 3 was used to prepare a mosquito repellent dispersion.

[0161] In this application example, the mosquito repellent dispersions consist of sage extract, D-limonene, an essential oil emulsifier, and deionized water. The sage extract volatile oil concentrations were 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12% by mass; the D-limonene concentration was 1.5% by mass; the essential oil emulsifier concentration was 0.5% by mass; and the deionized water concentrations were 95%, 92%, 90%, 88%, and 86% by mass. Different concentrations of mosquito repellent dispersions were prepared. A control group without sage extract volatile oil was used. The formulations of the mosquito repellent dispersions are shown in Table 10.

[0162] Table 10 Formulation of mosquito repellent dispersible liquid

[0163]

[0164] The mosquito repellency effect was evaluated using the mosquito bite prevention rate as the test index. The formula for mosquito repellency (repellency) effect was based on the calculation formula for repellency rate of repellents in GB / T13917.9-2009 "Indoor Efficacy Tests and Evaluation of Sanitary Insecticides for Pesticide Registration", and the test method was optimized by simulating the indoor environment. The mosquito repellency effect is shown in Table 11 below.

[0165] Table 11 Results of mosquito repellent effect test

[0166]

[0167] Table 4 shows that the mosquito-repellent effect of the mosquito-repellent dispersion gradually increases with the increase of the concentration of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* volatile oil, and the mosquito-repellent rate is significantly improved. Specifically, when the concentration of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* volatile oil exceeds 10%, the mosquito-repellent rate can reach over 90%. The results indicate that *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* volatile oil has a good mosquito-repellent effect.

Within the scope of the claims and technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications and changes can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
