The invention provides a method for separating and purifying
kaempferol from an
artemisia apiacea byproduct, and belongs to the field of
natural product separation
engineering. The method for separating and purifying
kaempferol from the
artemisia apiacea byproduct comprises the following steps: 1, extracting the
artemisia apiacea byproduct by adopting an
organic solvent 1, filtering, and concentrating filtrate to constant weight to obtain a concentrate 1; the
artemisia apiacea byproduct does not contain
artemisinin; 2, dissolving the concentrate 1 with an
organic solvent 2, extracting with an alkaline solution, and concentrating an organic phase layer to obtain a concentrate 2; 3, carrying out
column chromatography separation on the concentrate 2 by using an
organic solvent 3 as an eluent, and concentrating the eluent to obtain crude
kaempferol; and 4, recrystallizing the crude kaempferol by using an organic
solvent 4 to obtain purified kaempferol. According to the method, extraction,
column chromatography and recrystallization processes are combined, the process is simple, the
artemisia apiacea extract residues obtained after
artemisinin is extracted are used as raw materials, the method can be seamlessly connected with a
production line for industrially extracting
artemisinin, and the cost is saved.
