目的优选蜣螂提取液中蛋白质类成分泡沫分离的最佳工艺条件。方法采用单因素试验法,以富集比、回收率、泡沫液中蛋白的质量分数为评价指标,对影响泡沫分离的几个关键因素进行考察。结果泡沫分离蜣螂提取液蛋白类成分的较佳工艺为:气流速度600 mL/min,进料液质量浓度为含药材0.050 g/mL,pH 4,进料体积1 000 mL,室温;在此条件下,富集比为1.56,回收率为85.6%,泡沫液质量分数为20.37%。结论采用泡沫分离法浓缩和分离蜣螂蛋白质类成分回收率较高,能提高产品中蛋白质的质量分数,浓缩和分离蜣螂提取液中蛋白类物质有一定的可行性。

Objective To optimize the technique of foam separation from extract of Catharsius molossus.MethodsSingle factor test was used to examine the key operational parameters by using enrichment ratio,recovery rate,and protein content as the evaluation indexes.Results The best conditions were as follow: airflow velocity,feed concentration,pH value,feed volume,and temperature were 600 mL/min,0.050 g/mL,pH 4,1 000 mL,and room temperature,respectively.Under the condition,the enrichment ratio was 1.56,recovery rate was 85.6%,and protein content was 20.37%.Conclusion Foam separation could be used to concentrate and separate protein from extract of C.molossus with higher recovery rate and protein content.
