摘要

In this study, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was used to extract essential oil from Acorus tatarinowii Schott under the pressure of 25MPa and temperature of 35 degrees C. Two (E)- and (Z)-diastereomers of a-asarone and beta-asarone were separated and purified by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexaneethyl acetatemethanolwater (1:0.2:1:0.3, v/v). The separation yielded a total of 39 mg of alpha-asarone and 463 mg of beta-asarone from 1.0 g of essential oil in one-step separation with the purity of 98.9 and 99.1%, respectively, as determined by HPLC. The chemical structures of these compounds were identified by EI-MS, 1H-, and 13C-NMR.
