The invention relates to a process for simultaneously extracting pigments, saponins and polysaccharides of
sapindus, and preparation and application of the saponins of the
sapindus, and belongs to the technical field of
medicine and
chemical engineering. The process includes extracting total extracts of the
sapindus from dry fruit peel of the sapindus by the aid of a decocting method, dissolving the total extracts in water to obtain samples, feeding the samples to macroporous adsorption resin, eluting the macroporous adsorption resin by
distilled water at first, collecting eluent, removing proteins by the aid of a
dialysis method, and concentrating and
drying the eluent to obtain
polysaccharide extracts of the sapindus; eluting the macroporous adsorption resin with 4-5 retention volumes by the aid of 40%
ethanol, then eluting the macroporous adsorption resin by the aid of 80%
ethanol, collecting eluent and concentrating and
drying the eluent to obtain saponins extracts of the sapindus; eluting the macroporous adsorption resin by the aid of 95%
ethanol, collecting eluent and concentrating and
drying the eluent to obtain
pigment extracts of the sapindus. Active dry
yeast is inoculated in the saponins extracts of the sapindus after the saponins extracts of the sapindus are dissolved in water, then the saponins extracts of the sapindus are fermented and are concentrated and dried to obtain the saponins of the sapindus. The process, the preparation and the application have the advantages of simplicity in preparation method, low cost, one-step reaction,
environmental protection, high efficiency and easiness in popularization and application.
