Background technology
Ginkgo is a deciduous tree, and the height of tree reaches 40m.Its branch has the long and short two kind, and leaf clusters on brachyplast, alternate on long shoot.Blade is fan-shaped, long 4~8cm, and 2 shallow splitting in the middle of the wide 5~10cm, tip, the base portion wedge shape, vein is parallel, the fork-shaped difference.Compendium of Material Medica is put down in writing its leaf and is had very high medical value, and nature and flavor sweetness and bitterness and puckery is gone into lung, kidney two warps, have relieving asthma and cough, only with turbid, dwindle effect just.The composition of ginkgo leaf comprises distinctive flavonoids, terpenes and the ginkgoic acid that can cause allergic reaction, and these GINKGO BILOBA EXTRACTs-glucoside composition has powerful anti-oxidant and free radical ability.Studies show that ginkgo biloba p.e can be used for the treatment of memory and lose, stomach pain, dysentery, hypertension, stress and respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis and the anxiety bad and that cause that circulates.
Because ginkgo biloba p.e has very high medical value, so, domestic and international research personnel spent a large amount of research carried out the ginkgo leaf extraction process with and the research of pharmacology, few people study the influence of dry active ingredient to such extract.Traditional drying means has spray-drying and freezing and grind etc., and still, spray-drying is owing to adopted high temperature air, and a lot of biologically actives are destroyed in dry run, and causing thereafter, medical value reduces.Adopt freeze drying to pass through and grind, so the product cut size that comes out distribution is wide, particle is irregular, and the energy consumption height of dry run.In recent years, supercritical fluid has obtained extensive studies and application owing to have characteristic in fields such as reaction, hydrolysis, dryings.Because do not have the tension force on surface under super critical condition, there is not the change of the microstructure that causes because of the effect of capillary sheet surface tension in the material that is dried yet.Though the existing report of supercritical drying device, but, different with the supercritical drying device of the present invention's utilization, for example, application number be 200710064875.8 patent about supercritical drying device, relate generally to the sacrifice layer release tech field of the MEMS key manufacture in the microelectric technique, supercritical drying chamber, be used for the release of sacrifice layer, form by reaction under high pressure chamber and temperature-controlled chamber; The reaction under high pressure chamber is used to hold the silicon chip support, and the reative cell of carbon dioxide replacement and vaporizing and drying is provided.Application (patent) number: 00812047.1 patent has also been narrated the above-mentioned supercritical drying drying system that similarly is used for the wafer drying.Application (patent) number: the supercritical drying device of 02295010.9 narration not have in the back of hothouse to add relevant two-stage decompression still, and system is wayward, and the carbon dioxide waste seriously.
Though introduced a kind of supercritical drying and prepared SO and application number is 200410016977.9 patent
4 2-/ TiO
2Method, it utilizes the mixed solution of sulfuric acid-alcohol-water slowly to splash into butyl titanate-ethanolic solution, obtains the TiO2 colloidal sol of homogeneous transparent; With resulting colloidal sol ageing, obtain wet gel again; Wet gel and ethanol in inert atmosphere, under the super critical condition, are placed 0.5~8h, cooling, roasting again then could obtain SO

2Dry finished product is not the supercritical drying on the just sincere justice.Application (patent) number: 200410155314.5 patent prepares the method for nano magnesia with supercritical drying, and last the needs equally adopts high-temperature roasting obtain dry finished product powder.
This shows, though supercritical drying device has report to be used to the drying of inorganic salts material, the preparation of special nano material, but do not see the utilization supercritical drying so far for ginkgo biloba p.e or the drying of similar extract and the report or the patent of associated process conditions thereof, and relevant overcritical device is also different with the supercritical drying Process configuration that the present invention uses.To sum up, utilize preparing ginkgo leaf extract powder using supercritical liquid desiccation that the technology report of present patent application is not arranged at present.
Summary of the invention
