Abstract:

In this study, the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. were extracted with absolute ethanol to obtain flavonoid compounds. The crude extract was purified using 4 macroporous adsorption resins, and AB-8 was found to be the best choice due to both the highest adsorption and desorption capacity. The optimum conditions for adorption/desorption of the crude extract of the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. were as follows: sample concentration 193.92 mg/mL at pH 2, sample flow rate 2.6 mL/min, desorption flow rate 1.6 mL/min and amount of 80% ethanol required for desorption 30 mL. After the optimized purification, the concentration of flavonoids was improved from 10.2% to 42.6%.

Key words: Eucommia ulmoides leaf flavonoids, enrichment and purification, macroporous resin
