The invention discloses a method for extracting volatile oil and
magnolol from mangnolia
officinalis leaves. First, mangnolia
officinalis leaf
powder is placed in a distilling tank for
steam distillation, the mangnolia
officinalis volatile oil is extracted, then the
magnolol is extracted by the following steps that 1. water and
solid residues in the distilling tank are stirred, slaked
lime is added, pH is adjusted to 9-10, stirring is carried out continuously for 30-40 min, and filtering is carried out; 2. filter residues are subjected to normal-temperature
digestion by two times with
lime water with pH of 9-10, the extracting liquid is combined, concentrated
hydrochloric acid is used for adjusting pH of the extracting liquid to be 3-4, standing and
settling are carried out, water is used for washing until neutral is achieved, constant temperature
drying is carried out under the temperature of 45 DEG C, and crude extract is obtained; and 3. the crude extract and
silica gel with four-time amount are mixed,
petroleum ether is used for
reflux extraction, extracting liquid is concentrated, cooling is carried out, after complete
precipitation crystallization, filtering is carried out, and then an
ethyl acetate and
petroleum ether mixed solution is used for recrystallization. Comprehensive extracting of two effective components in the mangnolia officinalis leaves is achieved, the process is simple, cost is low, the extracting rate is high, and environment-protecting industrialized production can be achieved.
