Glycyrrhizic acid (GL) and its derivants, glycyrrhetinic acid 3--mono-β-d-glucuronide (GAMG) and glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) hydrolyzed in subcritical water, are bioactive substances and edulcorators. In this work, a separation strategy for these three substances was established. The effects of adsorbent and eluent were investigated by static/dynamic adsorption and multi-stage desorption with the mechanism analysis. The adsorption of them onto EXA50 resin was well fitted by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The optimal dynamic adsorption flow rate was 6 bed volume (BV)/h, and water of pH = 12 was used to elute GL at 4 BV/h, then -buthanol was used subsequently to elute GA at 1 BV/h, and finally 90% ethanol was applied to elute GAMG at 2 BV/h. As a result, purities of these compounds increased, which demonstrated that this adsorption-desorption technology was simple and efficient, and indicated the potential for large-scale purification and preparation of GL and its derivants in the future.
甘草酸(GL)及其衍生物,即甘草次酸 3--单--β--D--葡萄糖醛酸苷(GAMG)和甘草次酸(GA),在亚临界水中水解后是具有生物活性的物质和甜味剂。在这项工作中,建立了一种分离这三种物质的策略。通过静态/动态吸附和多级解吸,结合机理分析,考察了吸附剂和洗脱剂的影响。它们在 EXA50 树脂上的吸附很好地符合拟二级动力学模型。最佳的动态吸附流速为 6 床体积(BV)/h,用 pH = 12 的水以 4 BV/h 的流速洗脱 GL,然后用正丁醇以 1 BV/h 的流速洗脱 GA,最后用 90%乙醇以 2 BV/h 的流速洗脱 GAMG。结果表明,这些化合物的纯度提高,这表明这种吸附-解吸技术简单高效,为未来 GL 及其衍生物的大规模纯化和制备提供了可能。
