Problems solved by technology

Although this method selects water as the transposition solvent, organic solvents such as acetone are also used in the follow-up treatment, and the amount of solvent is large in addition, so the transposition yield is not high.

Embodiment 1

[0016] In a 1000ml three-necked flask, add 100g of Dunaliella β-carotene extract containing 48% cis-isomer and 1000g of glycerol, control the reaction temperature to be 130°C, and react in the dark for 3 hours under nitrogen protection, then cool to 70°C °C, the reaction was continued for 12 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was filtered while hot, washed with water, and dried to obtain 98 g of β-carotene containing 99% all-trans isomer.

Embodiment 2

[0018] Add 500g of synthetic β-carotene containing 67% cis-isomer and 500g of propylene glycol in a 1000ml three-necked flask, control the reaction temperature to 160°C, react under nitrogen protection and avoid light for 5 hours, then cool down to 100°C, and continue the reaction for 25 Hour. After the reaction, the mixture was filtered while hot, washed with water, and dried to obtain 492 g of β-carotene containing 98% all-trans isomer.

Embodiment 3

[0020] In a 1000ml three-necked flask, add 200g of synthetic β-carotene containing 26% cis-isomer and 800g of glycerol monoacetate, control the reaction temperature to be 120°C, react in the dark for 6 hours under nitrogen protection, then cool down to 80°C, The reaction was continued for 22 hours. After the reaction, the mixed solution was filtered while hot, washed with water and dried to obtain 195 g of β-carotene containing 98% all-trans isomer.

Abstract

The invention discloses a total reversal beta-carotene preparing method, mixing beta-carotene and high-boiling point, low-toxicity polar solvent at 70-160 deg.C in the mass ratio of 1 to (1-10), reacting in protective nitrogen gas for 10-30 h, filtering and water-washing and drying to make it. And the invention has advantages of: 1) using low-toxicity solvent as reacting medium, safe and environmental-protection and applied to transposition of natural beta-carotene and synthetic beta-carotene in the courses of preparing drugs, food, feeds, and other preparation products at various levels; 2) high reaction temperature, fast transposition and basically having no by-products; 3) the selected solvent basically has no solubility to beta-carotene, and the reaction yield is high; 4) large beta-carotene processing quality of the selected solvent and less solvent utilization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of all-trans β-carotene. Background technique [0002] β-Carotene is a typical representative of the carotenoid family. It is not only an important source of vitamin A in the body, but also has important physiological functions for the human body. It can prevent, delay and treat certain diseases , especially cancer, but also can improve the immune function of the body. Its molecular formula is C 40 h 56 , the molecular weight is 536.88, and its molecular structure is shown in the figure. [0003] [0004] Because the β-carotene molecule contains a long conjugated double bond chromophore, it has the property of being absorbed by light. It is a dark red to dark red shiny oblique hexahedral or plate crystal crystal or crystalline powder, dilute The solution is orange-yellow to yellow, orange when the concentration increases, and slightly red due to the polarity of the solution. Insoluble in water, meth...
