The invention discloses a negative pressure method
solvent-free
microwave-assisted extraction process of ledum palustre volatile oil, which comprises the following steps:
cutting branches of ledum palustre into sections, and removing impurities; soaking the ledum palustre
branch sections in water for pretreatment; putting the pretreated ledum palustre
branch sections into a round-bottom flask, and transferring the round-bottom flask into a
microwave device; vacuumizing treatment is carried out, after certain negative pressure is achieved, the
microwave power and the
heating time are adjusted, and
essential oil extraction is carried out; after extraction is completed, volatile oil components are collected,
petroleum ether is added for cleaning, the washed
petroleum ether is combined, the concentrated
petroleum ether is combined with collected oily substances, and the ledum palustre
essential oil is obtained. According to the method, the
boiling point of the
system is reduced under the negative pressure condition, heat-sensitive components in the volatile oil are effectively protected,
cell walls are damaged by microwaves for extraction, and the
dissolution rate of the volatile oil in ledum palustre cells is increased by controlling the
microwave power and the extraction time, so that the ledum palustre volatile oil with more chemical components is obtained; the ledum palustre volatile oil is simply and efficiently extracted.
