The invention discloses a method for preparing and partially-synthesizing
chlorogenic acid from the
processing residual liquid of aqua lonicerae foliae, which belongs to a method for manufacturing chemical substances or medicines and solves the problem of the existing
chlorogenic acid extraction and preparation technology that a large amount of
organic solvent is used and causes environmental
pollution, or the production is difficult to expand as a relatively complex
separation technology is used, or the extraction efficiency is low, the
utilization rate of raw materials is relatively low and so on. The method comprises a deposition step, a separation step by using macroporous absorption resin, an
acid hydrolysis step, a separation step by using
ion exchange column, a semi-synthesis step and a
crystallization step. The invention realizes comprehensive utilization of resources by adopting the
processing residual liquid of aqua lonicerae foliae as a
raw material, and can make full use of the
caffeoylquinic acid substances during the extraction,
hydrate the compounds into
caffeic acid and
quinic acid, then synthesize the
chlorogenic acid and finally obtain chlorogenic acid with the purity over 99% through the
crystallization step. The process of the invention is simple and can be easily expanded to industrial production while greatly improving the
utilization rate of the
raw material.
