The method of low-temperature crystallization is adopted in Chinese patent CN201911002351.5 to purify nervonic acid in acer truncatum seed oil, and the method of primary gradient cooling crystallization is adopted, so that the purity of the nervonic acid reaches about 10 percent, and the method has the problems of low purity of the nervonic acid, complex gradient cooling crystallization process and the like. Therefore, "obtaining a high purity of a nervonic acid or its derivative using mild reaction conditions" has been a problem that one skilled in the art has sought to solve but has not been able to solve. To solve this problem, the present inventors have conducted a great deal of research on a technique for separating and preparing ethyl nervonate from Acer truncatum oil. The invention researches and designs a novel method for separating and preparing high-purity ethyl nervonate from acer truncatum seeds, and the process flow chart of the novel method is shown in figure 1.

(3) Mixing deacidified Acer truncatum seed oil with absolute ethyl alcohol according to the weight ratio of (0.4-1.2), adding an alkaline catalyst (such as potassium hydroxide and/or sodium hydroxide) accounting for 0.1-1.5 wt% of the Acer truncatum seed oil, reacting for 1-4 hours at 50-90 ℃, removing the ethyl alcohol by rotary evaporation, standing for layering, separating the glycerin at the lower layer to obtain an oil layer, washing with water, and evaporating to remove water to obtain fatty acid ethyl ester of the Acer truncatum seed oil;
(4) Mixing the fatty acid ethyl ester of the Acer truncatum seed oil obtained in the step (3) with urea according to the weight ratio of (0.8-2) in an organic solvent, wherein the adding amount of the organic solvent is 1 (10-20) g/mL according to the weight-volume ratio of the fatty acid ethyl ester of the Acer truncatum seed oil to the organic solvent, refluxing the obtained mixed solution to the solution at the temperature of 40-90 ℃ for clarification, transferring to the temperature of minus 10-30 ℃ for crystallization for 2-10 hours, and filtering to obtain a crystal which is a primary inclusion compound, and washing, extracting (e.g. extracting twice), concentrating and the like the primary inclusion compound to obtain a primary ethyl nervonate purified crude product;
(5) Performing molecular distillation (such as secondary molecular distillation) on the primary ethyl nervonate purified crude product obtained in the step (4) at different vacuum degrees and temperatures to remove light components such as ethyl palmitate, ethyl stearate, ethyl arachidate, partial ethyl erucate and the like, wherein the secondary heavy components obtained by separation are secondary ethyl nervonate purified crude products rich in ethyl nervonate, ethyl erucate, ethyl behenate, ethyl pyrolignate and the like and long-carbon chain fatty acid ethyl esters;
(6) Purifying the crude product of the secondary ethyl nervonate obtained in the step (5) and urea according to the weight ratio of 1: (0.3-2) mixing the materials in an organic solvent, wherein the adding amount of the organic solvent is 1 (6-20) g/mL according to the weight-volume ratio of the fatty acid ethyl ester to the organic solvent, transferring the solution to the temperature of minus 10-30 ℃ for crystallization for 2-10 hours after the solution is clear and transparent, filtering to obtain a filtrate which is a secondary non-inclusion compound, and carrying out the steps of rotary evaporation concentration, water washing, extraction, concentration (such as evaporation recovery petroleum ether) and the like on the secondary non-inclusion compound to obtain a tertiary ethyl nervonate purified crude product;
(7) Purifying the crude product of the tertiary ethyl nervonate obtained in the step (6) and urea according to the mass ratio of 1: mixing the above-mentioned materials in organic solvent, adding organic solvent according to the weight-volume ratio of fatty acid ethyl ester and organic solvent (10-35) g/mL, refluxing the mixed liquor at 40-90 deg.C to make it be clear, taking out and transferring it to-10-30 deg.C, crystallizing for 2-10 hr, suction-filtering to obtain three-time inclusion compound, washing with water, extracting (extracting twice) and concentrating so as to obtain the invented product rich in ethyl nervonate. And (3) performing urea inclusion on the product for multiple times (repeating the operation of the step (7)) to obtain the high-purity ethyl nervonate with the purity of more than 90wt%.
According to the method, in the step (1), the method for extracting the acer truncatum seed oil comprises a mechanical pressing method, a Soxhlet extraction method, a subcritical extraction method and a water enzyme method.
In the present invention, the organic solvent includes one or more of methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate and isopropanol, preferably absolute ethanol and 95% ethanol.
The inventor researches find that 95% ethanol is favorable for the rapid dissolution of urea, and can greatly improve the efficiency of urea inclusion.
In the present invention, in the steps (4), (6) and (7), the extractant used for the extraction includes petroleum ether and/or n-hexane, preferably petroleum ether.
The present inventors have found that the main component of the fat is triglyceride, and in order to reduce the influence of the steric hindrance of triglyceride on the separation effect, the fat is generally converted into fatty acid or fatty acid ester before the separation process. Compared with fatty acid, the fatty acid ester has a lower boiling point, is favorable for molecular distillation, rectification and other methods, and prevents the separated system from chemical changes such as cracking due to overhigh temperature. And compared with fatty acid, the fatty acid ester has a carbon chain length, and according to the urea inclusion principle, the longer the carbon chain, the easier the inclusion compound is formed, thereby being beneficial to improving the efficiency of the urea inclusion process. Therefore, when methods such as molecular distillation, urea inclusion and the like are utilized, the fatty acid ester is taken as a raw material to have a great advantage, and the fatty acid ester in the obtained product can be converted into fatty acid through acidification.
The invention provides a method for separating and preparing high-purity ethyl nervonate from acer truncatum seeds, which is a novel process combining urea inclusion and molecular distillation. Firstly, preparing pure Acer truncatum Bunge crude oil by taking Acer truncatum Bunge kernels as raw materials; deacidifying pure Acer truncatum Bunge crude oil, and performing transesterification to prepare fatty acid ethyl ester; mixing fatty acid ethyl ester with urea and an organic solvent, crystallizing and separating to obtain a primary ethyl nervonate purified crude product; performing multistage molecular distillation on the primary ethyl nervonate purification crude product to obtain a secondary ethyl nervonate purification crude product with higher purity; then urea inclusion is carried out on the secondary ethyl nervonate purification crude product to remove saturated fatty acid ethyl ester, and the tertiary ethyl nervonate purification crude product is obtained in filtrate; and finally, carrying out urea inclusion on the crude product purified by the ethyl nervonate for multiple times to finally obtain the high-purity ethyl nervonate with the purity of more than 90%. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: the fatty acid ethyl ester obtained by processing the acer truncatum seeds is used as a raw material, the separation temperature is lower, the components in a separation process system are not easy to crack, and the high-purity nervonic acid ethyl ester is obtained by purification, so that the product has a stable structure and is beneficial to storage and transportation; the method creatively provides key steps for removing the saturated fatty acid ethyl ester and the erucic acid ethyl ester by adopting the urea inclusion method, and the whole process is simple to operate, low in equipment cost and suitable for industrial popularization.
