The application belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine, and particularly discloses a method for preparing L-
histidine from L-
carnosine mother liquor. The method mainly comprises the following steps: A. vacuum concentrating the L-
carnosine mother liquor into a
mother liquor concentrate, adding a strong acid, a strong base or an
amide hydrolase into the mother liquor concentrate to hydrolyze the
peptide component into a
hydrolysate mainly containing amino acids; B. removing the acid, the base or the
enzyme from the
hydrolysate, and then concentrating; after the concentration, sample loading
column chromatography is performed; C. sequentially using
purified water and gradient concentration
ammonia water for
elution, collecting the eluate, and using HPLC for tracking detection of the purity of L-
histidine in the eluate, and collecting the eluate with the purity of L-
histidine of 94% to 99%; D. combining the eluate, vacuum concentrating the eluate into a solution with the weight concentration of L-histidine of 30 to 40%, and adding simple
alcohol for
crystallization; E. filtering the precipitated L-histidine crystals, washing the
filter cake with simple
alcohol,
drying by suction and
drying, and then the L-histidine crystals can be obtained.
