Synthesis method
1. Saponins widely exist in the plant kingdom, and are distributed in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, especially in Dioscorea, Liliaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Araliaceae, Fabaceae, Aesculaceae, Polygalaceae, The content is higher in plants such as Platycodonaceae and Scrophulariaceae. The main raw materials used for production are Dioscorea yam and Dioscorea yam (turmeric).
Soak the dried potato yam, crush it into particles the size of a thumb cap, then grind it into a slurry with water in a refiner, sieve out the fiber residue, and let the filtrate stand. The refining here must be fine, the fiber and starch must be separated, and the fiber must not contain starch, otherwise the saponin will be lost and the extraction yield will be affected. The supernatant is separated from the filtrate that is allowed to stand, and then the supernatant is concentrated to a slurry, extracted with ethanol, and precipitated with ether to obtain Chuanlong Guanxinning, which can be used to treat coronary heart disease. Add amylase to the lower starch liquid after removing the supernatant to convert the starch into glucose, filter, and hydrolyze the filter residue with hydrochloric acid, wash with water, and dry to obtain dioscorea saponin.
Purpose
1. Saponin is the starting material for the production of steroid hormone drugs and can be used to produce hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, prednisone, progesterone, etc. my country’s annual demand is more than 1,500t.
