Контроль содержания алкалоидов в пищевых продуктах и напитках в соответствии с нормируемыми показателями – актуальная задача для биотехнологии. Рассмотрена экстракция кофеина и теобромина из растительного сырья – чая черного и зеленого с использованием в качестве экстрагента блок-сополимера плюроник, представляющего собой чередующиеся фрагменты этиленоксида (20 мономерных звеньев) и пропиленоксида (70 мономерных звеньев). Экстракционные системы на основе водорастворимых полимеров отвечают всем требованиям «зеленой» экстракции и могут применяться в технологических процессах, связанных с контролем качества исходного сырья. Исследованы условия процесса извлечения пуриновых алкалоидов, установлены его оптимальные параметры: концентрация экстрагента 0,25 г/см3, температура процесса 95°С, степень измельчения для черного и зеленого чая 0,4 и 0,8 мм соответственно, соотношение водной и органической фаз 10 : 1 соответственно. По результатам экстракции рассчитаны коэффициенты распределения и степень извлечения кофеина и теобромина, которая составляет 95–99% в зависимости от сорта чая. Содержание кофеина и теобромина в фазе органического растворителя после экстракции определяли методом капиллярного электрофореза по электрофореграммам образцов черного и зеленого чая. На основании разработанной экстракционно-электрофоретической методики определения кофеина и теобромина в различных сортах чая предложен механизм взаимодействия пуриновых алкалоидов с экстрагентом плюроник. Наличие в цепи полимера концевых НО-групп, а также в основной цепи атомов кислорода способствует взаимодействию полимера с аналитами с образованием водородных связей. Представленные схемы образования Н-связей подтверждают эффективность применения блок-сополимера плюроник в качестве экстрагента пуриновых алкалоидов. Monitoring the content of alkaloids in food and beverages in accordance with the normalized indicators is an urgent task for biotechnology. The extraction of caffeine and theobromine from vegetable raw materials – black and green tea using the pluronic block copolymer as an extractant is considered. The pluronic block copolymer consists of alternating fragments of ethylene oxide (20 monomer units) and propylene oxide (70 monomer units). Extraction systems based on water-soluble polymers meet all the requirements of «green» extraction and can be used in technological processes related to quality control of feedstock. The conditions of the purine alkaloid extraction process have been investigated, its optimal parameters have been established: the extractant concentration is 0,25 g/cm3, the process temperature is 95°C, the degree of grinding for black and green tea is 0,4 and 0,8 mm respectively, the ratio of aqueous and organic phases is 10 : 1 respectively. According to the extraction results, the distribution coefficients and the degree of extraction of caffeine and theobromine, which is 95–99%, depending on the tea variety, are calculated. The content of caffeine and theobromine in the organic solvent phase after extraction was determined by capillary electrophoresis from electrophoregrams of black and green tea samples. The presence of terminal HO-groups in the polymer chain, as well as in the main chain of oxygen atoms, promotes the interaction of the polymer with analytes with the formation of hydrogen bonds. The presented schemes for the formation of H-bonds confirm the effectiveness of using the pluronic block copolymer as an extractant of purine alkaloids.

Abstract Traditionally, the method of liquid extraction is used to extract metals from aqueous. This work is devoted to the combination of perspective alternative for hazardous solvents (aqueous two-phase systems based on water-soluble polymers) and the novel deep eutectic solvents in the non-ferrous metals extraction processes. In this work, the synthesis of deep eutectic solvent based on a water-soluble polymer (PPG-425) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) by stirring for 10 minutes at 80° C has been shown. The obtained results showed not only the possibility of using DES in the metal extraction process, but the selectivity to the Fe(III) and Zn(III), the distribution coefficients were 71.64 and 25.17 respectively. The metal concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically using 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol. This work shows the perspectives of using DESs in the metal extraction processes.

The article presents the results of the studies of the intensification of the processes of extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides from plant raw materials – medicinal hyssop (Hyssopus officialis L.) under the action of an electric current. The effect of direct, alternating, and pulsed electric currents on the degree of polysaccharides extraction was studied in comparison with the traditional pharmacopoeiсal method. It is shown that the energy consumption for the extraction process, intensified by a pulsed electric current, is significantly lower compared to extraction by convection heating. At the same time, the use of electric current makes it possible to reduce the limiting processing temperature from 70 °С to 40 °C, this will allow in the future to obtain not only aqueous, but also aqueous-alcoholic and alcoholic extracts, and, consequently, to extract biologically active non-soluble in water substances.

AbstractAn efficient separation technology for hydrolysates towards a full valorization of bamboo is still a tough challenge, especially regarding the lignin and lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs). The present study aimed to develop a facile approach using organic solvent extraction for efficiently fractionating the main components of bamboo hydrolysates. The high-purity lignin with only a trace of carbohydrates was first obtained by precipitation of the bamboo hydrolysate. The water-soluble lignin (WSL) fraction was extracted in organic solvent through a three-stage organic solvent extraction process, and the hemicellulosic sugars with increased purity were also collected. Furthermore, a thorough characterization including various NMR techniques (31P, 13C, and 2D-HSQC), GPC, and GC-MS was conducted to the obtained lignin-rich-fractions. It was found that the WSL fraction contained abundant functional groups and tremendous amount of LCC structures. As compared to native LCC of bamboo, the WSL fraction exhibited more typical LCC linkages, i.e. phenyl glycoside linkage, which is the main type of chemical linkage between lignin and carbohydrate in both LCC samples. The results demonstrate that organic phase extraction is a highly efficient protocol for the fractionation of hydrolysate and the isolation of LCC-rich streams possessing great potential applications.

The article proposes to determine the corrosion effect on fuel metals under dynamic conditions, when washing the prepared copper plate of a certain size, a significant amount of fuel at a certain speed and temperature of the study. This approach will significantly reduce the duration of the study (up to 100 minutes) and is closer to the real conditions of contact of the fuel with a metal surface, in comparison with the standardized method, which is widely used today. Using the proposed laboratory setup, the study was subjected to fuel (200–360 °C), which was obtained by thermal destruction of secondary polymer raw materials, in particular polypropylene. The obtained results showed that the investigated fuel, despite the temperature, the amount of circulating fuel and its water content, does not have a corrosive effect on the copper plate, which can be explained by the absence of corrosive substances in the fuel: water-soluble mineral acids and alkalis, active sulfur compounds and organic acids. However, it should be kept in mind that in polyolefin raw materials, in the form of contamination, there may be products made of other materials, such as rubber and polyvinyl chloride. This can happen when the sorting technology is violated or during the preliminary preparation of raw materials and, in turn, will contribute to the increase in sulfur-containing and chlorine-containing compounds in the fuel, which are characterized by high corrosion activity and should be necessarily removed from the fuel. Note that the fuel obtained from secondary polymer raw materials, in the absence of sulfur-containing and chlorine-containing compounds, is quite promising for the creation on its basis of modern synthetic fuels, analogues of classic petroleum products.

The unique properties of supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent are widely used for extraction. In supercritical media, the dissolution of molecules of various chemical nature is possible. The purpose of this investigation was to study the extraction process and obtain extracts from valuable regional plant materials by applying CO2 extraction under pre- and supercritical conditions. The objects of research were: ground seeds of melon, pumpkin and licorice roots, as well as mint leaves, mulberry and jida flowers. For extraction, a laboratory setup was used that allows extraction when the CO2 is supplied by a high-pressure plunger pump in the sub- and supercritical state using a heat pump. The pressure range is 3-15 MPa, temperatures 295–330 K, and the volumetric flow rate above the critical CO2 is 800–900 g. Experiments with ground seeds of melon and pumpkin showed that as a result of 4 sequentially performed extraction cycles on a single load with supercritical CO2 parameters ( 315–330 K; 3–7.5 MPa) the decrease in the mass of melon seeds was 90 g (pumpkins 80 g). During the total extraction time (2.5 hours), 20 kg of CO2 were pumped through the reactor (25 l at 290 K and 6.8 MPa), while the average oil content in the extract was 4 g per 1 kg of CO2 (3.0 g per 1 l of SС-CO2) In experiments with jida flowers, the maximum amount of solid extractable substance (2% by weight of the raw material) was obtained at a temperature in the extractor of 308 K and a pressure of 7.5 MPa. Upon extraction under critical conditions in collection 2, the liquid phase was absent; only a yellow-green paste was released in it. According to the results of experiments with mint leaves, the maximum yield of a greenish liquid was observed at T = 315 K and P = 4 MPa., Mulberry - at T = 306 K and P = 6.0 MPa. The results of the extraction of oils and extracts from ground seeds of melon, pumpkin and licorice roots, as well as mint leaves, mulberries and jida flowers confirm that the maximum yield of the extracted substance is achieved with supercritical CO2 parameters in the extractor (310 K, 7.5 MPa). When liquid CO2 is extracted (300 K and 6-8 MPa), up to 2% of a yellow substance is extracted, which does not differ in appearance from a supercritical extract.
