Aiming at the three technical bottlenecks of low separation efficiency, high product purity and high
solvent toxicity in the existing
hypericin extraction and purification process, the
mass transfer efficiency is improved through a
steam explosion directional wall breaking technology, and the release efficiency of
intracellular active ingredients is improved through multienzyme-ultrasonic
coupling; multistage
countercurrent chromatography separation is adopted to break through the selective limitation of traditional
column chromatography on naphthdianthrone components, and the
hypericin with the purity larger than or equal to 98% is finally obtained. The
steam explosion technology is adopted, the
dissolution rate of
hypericin and other effective components is greatly increased, meanwhile, the extraction rate is increased, the yield is increased, and the cost is saved. According to the method, multienzyme-ultrasonic
coupling and counter-current
chromatography are combined, the problems of
high energy consumption, high
pollution and the like caused by strong acid (alkali) in a traditional
plant extraction technology are integrally solved, oxidative deterioration caused by long-time heating of active ingredients is improved, meanwhile, the product purity is remarkably improved, and the method is suitable for industrial production. And a
technical support is provided for construction of extraction production of clean, stable and high-quality natural products.
