Abstract

The process of preparing chicoric acid from echinacea purpurea includes organic solvent extraction, acidification, solvent extraction, resin separation, crystal in solvent and other technological steps. During organic solvent extraction, water solution of ethanol of 30-50 wt% concentration and in the amount of 4-10 times echinacea purpurea weight is used as the organic solvent to prepare water solution of chicoric acid at the temperature of 70-90 deg.c. During the acidification of water solution of chicoric acid, the pH value of the water solution of chicoric acid is regulated with acid solution to not greater than 3. The separation and purification process includes separation with macroporous resin, washing with deionized water, elution with ethanol aqua, concentration to obtain coarse chicoric acid product, dissolving the coarse chicoric acid product in water, pH regulation of the chicoric acid aqua to 1-3 and cooling to crystallize and to obtain chicoric acid product with purity over 96 %.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing cichoric acid from Echinacea purpurea. It is a method for preparing high-purity cichoric acid by using Echinacea purpurea as a raw material through processes such as organic solvent extraction, acidification, solvent extraction, resin separation, and solvent crystallization. Background technique [0002] Echinacea purpurea (Echinacea purpurea) is an immunostimulant and immunomodulator that is widely valued in the world at present, and its extract and preparation have attracted great attention at home and abroad. At present, Echinacea has been successfully introduced in my country. Chichoric acid is a derivative of caffeic acid, which is one of the most important immune active ingredients in Echinacea purpurea. It has physiological functions such as improving immunity, inhibiting HIV virus, and antiviral. [0003] Currently, only the crude extract of Echinacea purpurea, which is used as a raw mat...
