Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removing benzo[?]pyrene from a liposoluble natural extract. The method of the present invention comprises adding a suitable solvent to a crude natural extract product so as to obtain a mixed material; heating the mixed material, stirring until uniform, cooling and layering, and then separating the upper layer from the lower layer so as to obtain a precipitate and a filtrate; washing the precipitate with a small amount of a solvent so as to obtain a washed product and a washing solution; removing the solvent from the washed product at a low temperature so as to obtain a finished product; and directly recycling the filtrate and the washing solution as solvents. The present method achieves the purification of the crude natural extract product and the removal of benzo[?]pyrene in one step, and is a novel method which is simple, highly efficient, feasible and easy for industrial applications.

Abstract: Disclosed a process for preparing a xanthophyll crystal, comprising: dissolving the plant extract containing a xanthophyll ester in n-hexane, then filtering the mixture; adding acetone to the filtrate, filtering and collecting a filter cake; mixing the filter cake with soybean oil and ethanol uniformly; saponifying the mixed solution with alkaline aqueous solution; then adding an acidic solution thereto until the mixed solution becomes acidic, concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain a pasty substance; adding n-hexane to the pasty saponified product, standing still and then conducting a solid-liquid separation; washing the resulting solid substance with deionized water; adding a mixed solvent to the washed solid substance, dissolving it with stirring; and then adding n-hexane thereto and standing still to recrystallize.
