The invention relates to the technical field of biological
medicine, in particular to a method for efficiently extracting 7-dehydrocholesterol from
fermentation liquor. The method comprises the following steps: taking 7-DHC
fermentation liquor, carrying out wall breaking on the 7-DHC
fermentation liquor by using
helicase, then carrying out full-solution extraction by using methyl
ether, carrying out separation after extraction, taking an organic phase, carrying out decoloration,
filtration, purification and concentration to obtain a concentrate, mixing the concentrate with isopropanol, dissolving, and carrying out low-temperature
crystallization to obtain the high-purity white needle-like 7-DHC
crystal. The yield of the 7-DHC
crystal is not less than 90%, and the purity is not less than 95%. The method disclosed by the invention is simple in process and mild in
helicase wall breaking condition, and high-pressure homogenate or ultrasonic equipment is avoided; the methyl
ether solvent is easy to recover, the resin is renewable, green and environment-friendly, meanwhile, amplification is easy, and in addition, the obtained 7-DHC is high in yield, high in purity and convenient for industrial application.
