Abstract:

The objective of this study was to develop a macroporous resin adsorption method for separating and purifying aucubin in Eucommia ulmoides seed meal extracted into 80% aqueous ethanol solution. Twelve kinds of macroporous resins were compared for differences in their adsorption and desorption performances towards aucubin, and the results indicated that macroporous resins SIPI-7, HZ-820 and S-8 had better abilities to adsorb and desorb aucubin, among which, HZ-820 was considered to be the best resin due to the highest desorption rate. The optimal conditions for the adsorption and desorption of HZ-820 were found to be: sample loading, 0.5 g/g (weight ratio of Eucommia ulmoides seed meal extracted to HZ-820 resin); desorpion solvent, 50% aqueous ethanol solution containing 3% acetic acid at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The high aucubin eluate fractions obtained under such conditions were pooled, condensed and recrystallized into a considerable amount of product containing 96.82% of aucubin.
