Abstract
The matrix oligo‐β‐cyclodextrin‐Sepharose HP was synthesized and successfully applied in the separation of puerarin from pueraria flavones. The optimal conditions of preparation were obtained. The separation was carried out with 7% acetic acid solution (V %) at a flow rate of 10 mL/min, after 300 mg flavones in 20 mL 5% ethanol (V %) were injected in a preparative column (350 mm×44 mm i.d.). The puerarin fraction was collected and further purification was performed. The purity of puerarin obtained was higher than 97%. The recovery of the whole procedure reached 32.4%.
