And the method can not effectively reduce ginkgolic acid (20-50 ppm) in the system.
Disclosure of Invention
The purpose of the invention is as follows: the invention aims to provide a preparation method of plant-derived sodium copper chlorophyllin, which is used for obtaining high-yield sodium copper chlorophyllin with transparent aqueous solution by optimizing a purification process and eliminating an emulsifying layer so as to greatly reduce the content of ginkgolic acid.
The technical scheme is as follows: in order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an anti-emulsification method for preparing plant-derived sodium copper chlorophyllin, comprising the following steps:
(1) pulverizing folium Ginkgo, extracting with alcohol solution, filtering, and concentrating the filtrate to obtain black extract;
(2) adding the black extract into an alcohol solution of petroleum ether, stirring, standing and layering; separating out petroleum ether phase, adding a first alcohol solvent, stirring, washing with alcohol, standing and layering;
(3) adding a second alcohol solvent and dilute alkali into the petroleum ether solution finally obtained in the previous step, and separating out a transparent petroleum ether phase;
(4) adding an alcoholic solution of strong base into the transparent petroleum ether phase for saponification reaction, and standing for layering; separating out alcohol phase, adding petroleum ether, stirring and extracting;
(5) adding sulfuric acid into the alcohol phase solution finally obtained in the previous step for acidification, and then adding petroleum ether for stirring and extraction;
(6) adding copper sulfate into the alcohol phase obtained by the previous extraction step, heating and refluxing until the color turns green, cooling, concentrating until no alcohol exists, washing with water, concentrating, and drying to obtain copper chlorophyllin acid;
(7) redissolving the chlorophyll keto acid, adding equivalent sodium hydroxide for neutralization, and drying to obtain the water-soluble sodium copper chlorophyllin.
The method of the invention comprises the following steps: and (2) carrying out multiple separation and purification on the black ginkgo leaf extract obtained by leaching by using alcohol and petroleum ether, firstly, extracting and separating impurities in a petroleum ether phase by using an alcohol solvent, after saponification reaction, transferring active ingredients from the petroleum ether phase to the alcohol phase, then, extracting and separating the impurities in the alcohol phase by using the petroleum ether, and then, carrying out acidification, petroleum ether extraction and copper substitution reaction. Because the emulsification phenomenon before saponification can directly influence the saponification reaction and the product purity, the main problem solved by the invention is how to select a proper extraction reagent and how to separate, thereby minimizing an emulsion layer. The problem of the emulsifying layer is effectively solved, so that the purity of the sodium copper chlorophyllin is improved, the product chromaticity and the transparency are excellent, and the content of ginkgolic acid in the system is further reduced.
The method can prepare sodium copper chlorophyllin by using black waste stickum generated in the extraction process as raw material while producing folium Ginkgo extract, thereby realizing comprehensive utilization of folium Ginkgo, reducing production cost, and simultaneously reducing environmental pollution.
In the step (1), 85-95% (V/V) ethanol solution is added into the crushed ginkgo leaves for reflux extraction, the water bath temperature is 85-90 ℃, and the filtrate is combined after extraction and filtration. Preferably, the steps of reflux extraction and filtration of the crushed ginkgo leaves in the step (1) are repeated for 1 to 2 times. More preferably, the step (1) is carried out by refluxing and leaching with 90% (V/V) ethanol solution, and the refluxing time is not more than 3 hours each time.
In the step (2), the first alcohol solvent is 60-95% (V/V) ethanol solution, alcohol washing is carried out for 2-3 times, and petroleum ether phases are combined.

It is noted that in the chemical field, conventional emulsion breaking treatments for emulsification phenomena generally promote stratification by adding heat, methanol, acetone, inorganic salts, acids, and the like. However, in the present invention, since two organic phases are used for extraction, the addition of a plurality of organic solvents affects the extraction effect and is not favorable for increasing the recovery difficulty of the solvent during production, and the addition of inorganic salts and acids cannot completely break the emulsification. In the step (2) and the step (3), the concentration of the ethanol solvent is distinguished for sequential treatment, the thickness of an emulsion layer is obviously reduced under the condition of not adding an additional solvent or a demulsifier, the concentration of the alcohol solvent needs to be particularly noticed during extraction, and if the concentration is too high, the layering is not obvious; the concentration is too low, the emulsification is serious, and the impurity removal effect is poor. In the step (3), the dilute alkali is added, and the concentration of the ethanol is controlled, so that an unexpected complete demulsification effect is obtained.
The dilute alkali in the step (3) is any one of ammonia water, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and sodium carbonate solution. Preferably sodium hydroxide solution.
Further, the diluted base is added in an amount of 0.05 to 5% (m/V), preferably 0.05 to 1% (m/V), more preferably 0.1 to 0.2% (m/V) of the second alcohol solvent.

Adding sulfuric acid in the step (5), adjusting the pH value to 1-4, preferably 1.5-2.5, and then adding petroleum ether to extract for 1-3 times at normal temperature.
And (3) in the copper substitution reaction in the step (6), adding a copper sulfate solution, heating to 40-60 ℃, refluxing for 10 minutes until the solution gradually turns green, stopping refluxing after 1 hour, and cooling. In the step (6), the water washing is performed by using any one of methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and propyl acetate, preferably ethyl acetate. Adding water during extraction, discarding the lower water phase, and washing with water for 1-2 times.
According to the invention, when ethanol and petroleum ether are used for mutual extraction, the ethanol and the petroleum ether are mixed according to the volume ratio of 1: 3-1: 5, preferably the volume ratio is 1:4, for example, 100ml of ethanol and 400ml of petroleum ether are used for extraction of 100g of ginkgo biloba extract.
Has the advantages that: the invention only uses two solvents of ethanol and petroleum ether for extraction and purification, thereby avoiding the influence of various organic solvents in the system on extraction and delamination; the ginkgo leaf crushing and leaching adopts a mode of refluxing for a plurality of times in a short time and combining leaching liquor, so that the product yield is improved; the method comprises the steps of removing impurities in a petroleum ether phase and an alcohol phase in sequence, remarkably reducing emulsification layering before and after saponification by controlling the concentration of a solvent, ensuring the yield and purity of a product, and effectively removing more than 90% of ginkgoic acid, wherein the absorbance of the sodium copper chlorophyllin E405nm obtained by the method is more than or equal to 600, the absorbance ratio is 3.1-3.58, the copper complex is more than or equal to 6.2%, the content of ginkgoic acid is less than 1.0ppm, and the product yield is as high as 0.4%.
