The present invention discloses a preparation method of glucurone, which relates to the technical field of esterification reactions. The method comprises the following steps: adding
inositol oxidase to an
inositol feed solution for conversion to obtain a conversion solution, and successively subjecting the conversion solution to
filtration,
ion exchange, decolorization, thermal concentration, and lactonization
crystallization steps to obtain crude glucurone. The preparation method of the present invention uses
inositol as a
raw material, and after converting inositol into glucuronic acid solution under the action of an
enzyme, adopts
filtration,
ion exchange, decolorization, thermal concentration, and lactonization
crystallization steps to prepare crude glucurone. By adopting the technical solution of the present invention to prepare glucurone, the problems of low extraction rate of crude products, severe operating pressure, strict equipment requirements, and environmental
pollution existing in the
nitric acid oxidation method using
starch as a
raw material are solved. At the same time, the present invention uses inositol as a
raw material, which is a new process different from the process using
starch as a raw material, and has the advantages of low production cost,
short cycle, and industrialization feasibility.
