Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title compound for purifying and fractionating a catechin compound with a high performance liqiud chromatography in high yield, by subjecting a water soluble compound eluted from tea leaf to gel column chromatography using aqueous solution of a hydrophilic organic solvent having properly changed concentration. CONSTITUTION:Water soluble compound eluted from tea leaf using warm water or hot water is poured into a column packing a hydroxylpropylated dextran or hydrophilic vinyl polymer gel and the column is washed using at first distilled water and then methanol, ethanol or acetone aqueous solution, preferably of 5-15% to separate impurity such as caffeine. Then fraction A containing L- epicatechin and L-epigallocatechin is eluted from separated residue in the gel by 20-30% of above-mentioned solvent aqueous solution and further fraction B containing L-epicatechin gallate and L-epigallocatechin gallate is eluted and separated by 40-65% of the above-mentioned solvent aqueous solution.

The extraction of the A fraction is maximum at around 20 to 30% above, and if the concentration of the hydrophilic solvent is too thin, it becomes difficult to carry out the fractionation, and within the above concentration range, most of the A fraction is extracted. If it is too concentrated than the above range, the B fraction will be present and the fractionation will be insufficient. The extraction of the B fraction is maximum at around 40 to 65%, and if it is too thin than this level, the fractionation with the A fraction will be insufficient, and if it is too dark, there will be almost no remaining amount of the B fraction, The functionality of the fraction is lost.
