Studies on Purification of Clinic Dextran with Solvent out Crystallization Assisted Membrane Separation Technology

Dextran is a bacterial polysaccharide produced from sucrose and usually used for clinical treatment as one kind of polysaccharide drugs. A traditional separating method with ethanol was hardly to control strictly for the molecular weight distribution of dextran. Some quality problems and clinical side effects induced by the disproportion of molecular weight, had become the bottleneck of study and application of dextran.In this study, Solvent Out Crystallization assisted Membrane Separation (SOCMS) is a new separation method proposed for thepurification of dextran.Its purpose is to separate dextran and control itsmolecular distribution, and prepare dextran with high purity at the sametime.Primary research subjects and conclusions were summarized as follow:1.Chromatogram conditions to measure the molecular weight ofdextran were determined.2. By using uniform experiments design, several factors that influenced the solvent out crystallization were investigated.3. Through analyzing purification effects of ultrafiltration membranes with different molecular weight cut-off, it showed that membranes of 30KD and 5KD were helpful to the purification of dextran.4. The determination of membrane separation parameters was established by single factor experiment.5. By connection of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, purification process was optimized.6. Cleanig condition of membranes were determined.7. The purity of the purified sample samples was identified by the ultraviolet spectrum. The result showed that there were no protein, nucleic acid, pigment and mannose within them. Preliminary studies on the structure of purified samples by the infrared spectrum illuminated that purified samples were the same material with the dextran. Analysis on thermodynamic properties by DSC showed that purified samples were much more similar in composition.

Study on Separation and Purification of γ-Aminobutyric Acid Accumulated Through Rice Bran Glutamate Decarboxylase

Rice bran is a by-product of rice processing,with high annual yield but very low development and utilization level.The enzyme activity of Glutamate decarboxylase(GAD) in rice bran is one of the highest among all kinds of plants.Based on the enzymatic properties of GAD in rice bran,this paper studied the accumulation ofγ-aminobutyric acid(GABA) through rice bran GAD.In order to activate rice bran GAD,two process conditions were designed to simulate different plant adverse conditions:the direct method simulated adverse conditions such as thermal stimulation,hypoxia and salt stress;the enzyme extracted method simulated adverse conditions such as thermal stimulation,hypoxia,salt stress and mechanical stimulation.The separation and purification conditions of GABA from GABA accumulated solution were also studied.The specific contents include:process conditions comparison between direct method and enzyme extracted method,immobilized rice bran GAD to produce GABA,separation and purification of GABA from GABA accumulated solution.The two process conditions of direct method and enzyme extracted method were compared and optimized.The maximum yield of direct method was 15.37mg·(g rice bran)-1 after doing orthogonal test,while the maximum yield of enzyme extracted method was 29.89mg·(g rice bran)-1.Among the above adverse conditions,the mechanical stimulation had the strongest activated effect on rice bran GAD.According to the immobilized enzyme technology,rice bran was immobilized with healthy and non-toxic sodium alginate to produce GABA.The optimal immobilized conditions were:6.0%rice bran,2.5%sodium alginate,1h hardening time and 1.0%CaCl2. The study on enzymatic properties of immobilized rice bran GAD showed that the optimum temperature moved to 45℃from 40℃.The enzymatic activity recovery of immobilized rice bran GAD was 51.00%.The GABA content of GABA accumulated solution prepared by immobilized rice bran GAD was higher than the unimmobilized rice bran GAD.Ethanol precipitation was used to separate GABA from the accumulated solution.When the ethanol concentration was 75%,more than 90%of protein and carbohydrate was precipitated while the lose rate of GABA was low.So this method can be used to preliminarily separate GABA accumulated solution.LSA-8B macroporous adsorption resin is an efficient resin with high selectivity,which showed good adsorption of protein,pigment and carbohydrate and the recovery rate of GABA is high.So the LSA-8B resin can be used to GABA accumulated solution purification.The adsorption process is a heat absorption one, mainly expressed as a physical adsorption process.The adsorption process can speed up as the temperature raise.The influencing factors of adsorption process were studied,and the optimum conditions were as follows:using the original sample concentration,adjusted pH value to 5.0,and feeding rate 2BV·h-1,adsorbing protein and pigment;then adjusted pH value to 8.0,feeding rate 1BV·h-1,adsorbing carbohydrate and else.Ethanol in alkaline condition was an efficient regenerant to LSA-8B macroporous adsorption resin.Dealing with purification,the GABA content of GABA accumulated solution prepared by enzyme extracted method increased from 4.76%to 13.90%,the recovery rate of GABA was 75.52%.The GABA accumulated solution prepared by immobilized rice bran GAD contains very little protein and carbohydrate,so it was purified by LSA-8B resin directly without ethanol precipitation operation.The GABA content increased to 4.04%from primary 3.06%,and the recovery rate of GABA was 98.06%.

Optically active (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol((S)-PED) has special bioactivity and photoelectromagnetism performance, which is a important chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. Preparation of optically pure (S)-PED by biocatalyst has an advantage of mild reaction conditions, high stereoselectivity,high regioselectivity and high chemical selectivity. In this paper, the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-PED catalyzed by Candida parapsilosis CCTCCM203011 in aqueous phase was investigated. For the aim of laying a foundation to prepare (S)-PED on industrial scale, the initial reaction substrate concentration, reusing of biocatalyst, extracting and purification of (S)-PED were studied.In situ adsorption technology was used to increase the initial reaction substrate concentration. The results showed that by adding NKAⅡadsorbent resin in reaction system, the initial substrate concentration was increased. A formula was established about the resin addition amount along with the changing of substrate concentration, according to the formula, the PED concentration in aqueous phase could be controlled in best level. Thus, the high substrate concentration and high reaction speed could be achieved. Then 0.74 g NKAⅡadsorbent resin was added to system under an increased substrate concentration of 40 g/L with a preadsorption for 2 h before reaction. After reacting for 108 h, the optical purity and the yield of (S)-enantiomer reach 98.1 %e.e. and 88.5 % respectively. Thus, the (R,S)-PED concentration increased about 166.7 % than ever before.The optimization of temperature, pH, and agitation to reaction system containing resin were studied. The optimum reaction conditions were obtained as 30℃, pH 8.0, shaking speed 120 r/min. Under such conditions, the reaction time was shortened, and the product also had good level when initial (R,S)-PED concentration increased from 40 g/L to 50 g/L. At the same time, the effect of addition of xylose and yeast extract on stability of whole cell was also studied. Xylose and yeast extract could increase catalyzing batch of whole cell. When reaction conditions and addition amount of xylose and yeast extract were optimized, the optical purity and yield of (S)-PED could reach 97.8 % and 80.6 % respectively after reacting for 48 h in second reaction batch, and e.e. reach 95.0 % in the third batch, under the substrate concentration of 30 g/L. Metabolic activity was increased obviously after addition of xylose and yeast extract.The extraction and purification of (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol was studied. From 6 kinds of macroporous adsorbent resins, NKAⅡresin was selected to adsorb (S)-PED. The saturated adsorption capacity of NKAⅡresin was 250 mg/(g wet resin) while the time for it to achieve saturation adsorption was 2 h. Besides, the adsorption isotherm data of NKAⅡresin could well fit the Freundlich equation. Ether was selected as a suitable solvent to recrystallization. 1 L solution containing (S)-PED was adsorbed by the resin column with a flow rate of 1.5 BV/h, desorbed by 2 BV ethyl acetate, decolored by 3 %(mass concentration)active carbon by 1 h, recrystallized with about 100 mL ether. When (S)-PED was extracted and purified under this condition, the total yield of (S)-PED was 68.7 %, with mass fraction 98.9 % from 1.4 %, and optical purity 99.0 %.
