Objective:
To explore the optimal separation of the alkaloids from Lotus plumule by selecting appropriate macroporous adsorption resins.
Method:
To evaluated the separating efficiency by measuring the adsorption ratio, eluting ratio and the concentration of neferine.
Result:
The LSA -5B macroporous adsorption resin prolided the optimal separating efficiency. The best adsorption capacity was achieved with the following conditions: the concentration of extact liquid was 0. 125 g x mL(-1) (equivalence to raw material), then the resin was washed by water to remove impurity and alkaloids were desorbed by 50% ethanol.
Conclusion:
This method is simple, feasible and suitable for industry production.
