低速逆流色谱分离制备栀子黄色素中的藏花素

建立了低速逆流色谱技术(SRCCC)从栀子黄色素中快速分离制备藏花素的方法。两相溶剂系统由叔丁基甲基醚-正丁醇-乙腈-水(2:2.5:1:5, v/v/v/v)组成,以上相为固定相,下相为流动相。在转速为50 r/min和流速为5 mL/min的条件下,从5 g栀子黄色素粗样中分离得到2.47 g藏花素,纯度为96.8%。该方法制备量大、安全、高效,有可能成为工业级分离制备藏花素的一种有效手段。

Preparation of crocin from gardenia yellow pigment by slow rotary countercurrent chromatography

A method was established for the preparation of crocin from gardenia yellow pigment by slow rotary countercurrent chromatography (SRCCC). A two-phase solvent system consisting of methyl tert-butyl ether, n-butanol, acetonitrile and water (2 : 2. 5 : 1 : 5, v/v/v/v) was used. The upper phase was used as the stationary phase, and the lower phase as the mobile phase. By SRCCC elution, 2.47 g of crocin with a purity of 96.8% was obtained from 5 g of gardenia yellow pigment at a flow rate of 5 mL/min and a rotation speed of 50 r/min. The results indicated that SRCCC is a powerful technique for the purification of crocin from gardenia yellow pigment with high preparative capacity, high safety and high efficiency in resolution, and it is possible to prepare crocin at industrial level by SRCCC.
