Plant extract | Curcumin, also known as curcumin and acid yellow, is extracted from the roots of ginger plants such as turmeric, curcuma, mustard, curry, and turmeric. The main chain is unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic groups. It is a rare pigment with diketone in the plant kingdom and is a diketone compound, it is a commonly used seasoning and food pigment, non-toxic, with choleretic, anti-infection, paroxysmal contraction of the uterus, lowering blood cholesterol, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant (stronger than α-tocopherol), anticoagulant, Various pharmacological effects such as lowering blood lipids and anti-atherosclerosis. In 1985, Indian scholar Kuttan first proposed the anti-cancer effect of curcumin. In recent years, curcumin has an inhibitory mechanism on the production, proliferation and metastasis of various tumor cells. The National Cancer Institute of the United States lists it as a third-generation tumor treatment drug. After compatibility with mitomycin C, the dosage of mitomycin C is reduced, and the nephrotoxicity and bone marrow suppression caused by mitomycin C alone can be reduced, which can improve the effect of mitomycin C in the treatment of breast cancer. Curcumin has protective effects on liver damage induced by various toxic substances such as carbon tetrachloride, aflatoxin B1, paracetamol and cyclophosphamide in vivo and in vitro, significantly reduces alkaline phosphatase and r-glutamyl transpeptidase (r-GT) activities in alcoholic liver damage (ALI) animals, and prevents the occurrence of experimental fatty liver. |
identification test | solubility insoluble in water and ether; Soluble in ethanol and glacial acetic acid. Measured according to OT-42 method. The melting range is 179~182 ℃. Measured by conventional methods. The ethanol solution of the color reaction A sample should be pure yellow and light green fluorescence; if the ethanol extraction solution is added with concentrated sulfuric acid, it will produce deep purple red. Color reaction B treated the sample with hydrochloric acid in aqueous solution or dilute ethanol solution until it began to appear slightly orange. Divide this mixture into two parts, and add a small amount of boric acid powder or crystals in one part. Compared with the part without boric acid, its color becomes significantly red. Several pieces of filter paper can also be impregnated in the ethanol solution of pigment, dried at 100 ℃, and then moistened with a dilute solution of boric acid (with a few drops of hydrochloric acid). It should be cherry red after drying.. Chromatography takes 5ml of test solution (0.01g sample dissolved in 1mL of 95% ethanol) and drops it on thin layer chromatography (microcrystalline cellulose, 0.1mm) and puts it in a development tank containing 3-methyl -1-butanol/ethanol/water/ammonia (4:4:2:1) mixture to raise the solvent front by 10-15cm. After one day and night, it was observed under ultraviolet light: there were three yellow spots with Rf between 0.2 and 0.4; Rf of other spots was 0.6~0.8; All spots showed yellow fluorescence under ultraviolet light. 6.95% ethanol solution has a maximum absorption peak at 425nm. |
content analysis | weigh the sample correctly about 0.08g, move it into a 200ml volumetric flask with ethanol, and shake it until dissolved. Shake well after constant volume with ethanol. A 100-fold dilution was prepared with ethanol. Put into a 1cm absorption cell (GT-29), measure the absorbance (A) at 425nm, and calculate the content of total pigment substance in the sample-A × 20000./W × 1607 according to the following formula, where A is the absorbance of the sample and W is the sample amount (g). The determination shall not be delayed to avoid browning and inaccuracy. |

production method | water is used as solvent to extract turmeric powder of 0.175-0.36mm for 60-75min at 70-80 ℃ with 8 times the amount of 1% sodium hydroxide solution. after filtration, the filter residue is leached twice again, and the solvent dosage and time can be reduced in turn. Merge the filtrate for three times and add sodium bisulfite solution with 0.8% liquid amount, after concentration, use hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH value to 3~4; let it stand and layer, discard the supernatant, and the lower layer precipitates and filters to obtain a semi-solid mixture of curcumin, turmeric and turmeric resin; use 70% at 70°C The mixture is dissolved in ethanol, filtered while hot to remove the turmeric resin that is insoluble in ethanol, the filtrate is extracted with petroleum ether, and the petroleum ether phase is distilled under reduced pressure to recover the petroleum ether to obtain turmeric butter, curcumin was obtained by distillation of residual ethanol phase under reduced pressure, and the yield could reach 0.5% ~ 1.5%. Organic solvent extraction of curcumin can be dissolved in ethanol, ether, acetone or dichloromethane and other solvents. One of them can be used to extract curcumin and curcumin from turmeric powder of 0.16~0.32mm. After separation and concentration, ginger butter is extracted and separated with petroleum ether. The residual phase is distilled under reduced pressure to obtain curcumin, and the yield is generally 0.55% ~ 1.5%. Step-by-step extraction The turmeric powder is distilled by steam at 100~105 ℃ for 4~6h to obtain ginger butter, and the filter residue is soaked in 1% sodium hydroxide solution at 80 ℃ for 25min.
