Use of expanded bed adsorption to purify flavonoids from Ginkgo biloba L

Abstract
Three techniques (liquid-liquid extraction, packed bed adsorption and expanded bed adsorption) have been compared for the purification of flavonoids from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. A crude Ginkgo extract was obtained by refluxing with ethanol for 3h. The yield of flavonoids achieved by this crude extraction was about 19% (w/w) and the purity of flavonoids in the concentrated extract was between 1.9 and 2.3% (w/w). The crude extract was then dissolved in deionized water and centrifuged where necessary to prepare clarified feedstock for further purification. For the method using liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, the purity, concentration ratio and yield of flavonoids were 25.4-31.0%, 16-18 and >98%, respectively. For the method using packed bed adsorption, Amberlite XAD7HP was selected as the adsorbent and clarified extract was used as the feedstock. The dynamic adsorption breakthrough curves and elution profiles were measured. For a feedstock containing flavonoids at a concentration of 0.25mg/mL, the appropriate loading volume to reach a 5% breakthrough point during the adsorption stage was estimated to be 550-600 mL for a packed bed of volume 53 mL and a flow rate of 183 cm/h. The results from the elution stage indicated that the majority of impurities were eluted by ethanol concentrations of 40% (v/v) or below and efficient separation of flavonoids from the impurities could be achieved by elution of the flavonoids with 50-80% ethanol reaching an average purity of approximately 25%. The recovery yield of flavonoids using the packed bed purification method was about 60% of the flavonoids present in the clarified feedstock (corresponding to around 30% for the total flavonoids in the unclarified crude extract). For the method using expanded bed adsorption also conducted with Amberlite XAD7HP as the adsorbent, the optimal operation conditions scouted during the packed bed experiments were used but unclarified crude extract could be loaded directly into the column. For an expanded bed with a settled bed height of 30 cm, the loss of flavonoids in the column flow-through was about 30%. The two-step elution protocol again proved to be effective in separating the adsorbed impurities and flavonoids. More than 96% of the bound impurities were completely removed by 40% ethanol in the first elution stage and less than 4% remained in the final product eluted by 90% ethanol in the second elution stage. Also, approximately 74% of the adsorbed flavonoids on column (corresponding to 51% of the total flavonoids in the unclarified feedstock) were recovered in the product. In addition to higher recovery yield, the average process time to obtain the same amount of product was decreased in the expanded bed adsorption (EBA) process. The results suggest that the adoption of EBA procedures can greatly simplify the process flow sheet and in addition reduce the cost and time to purify flavonoids from Ginkgo biloba. These results clearly demonstrate the potential for the use of EBA to purify pharmaceuticals from plant sources.
