The invention relates to the technical field of
natural medicine extraction, and particularly discloses a method for separating
phorbol by utilizing an ultrasonic-assisted alcoholysis-extraction
coupling technology. The method comprises the following steps: S1, uniformly mixing 1 part of
croton oil with 5-25 parts of a saturated alkaline alcoholic solution according to a volume ratio of feed liquid, carrying out alcoholysis-extraction under the action of ultrasonic
waves, and carrying out standing separation to obtain an alkaline supernatant containing
phorbol and a
croton oil lower phase liquid; and S2, adjusting the pH value of the obtained alkaline supernatant to be neutral by using an acidic
alcohol solution, and removing the obtained precipitate to obtain a neutral
alcohol solution containing the
phorbol. The ultrasonic-assisted alcoholysis-extraction
coupling technology is used for extracting the phorbol from the
croton oil, alcoholysis and extraction are carried out synchronously, and alcoholysis-extraction
coupling is carried out, so the alcoholysis efficiency is improved advantageously, alcoholysis-extraction is fast and efficient under the assistance of ultrasonic
waves,time is saved, and the purity of the phorbol is improved. The method has the advantages of few operation steps, short time consumption, low
solvent consumption and easiness in promotion and application.
