Abstract

In this study, thearubigins were extracted by organic extraction, and purified by reversed-phase C18 column chromatography to obtain three types of thearubigins, namely ethyl acetate, n-butanol and acid n-butanol extracts. The stability of thearubigins under different conditions was analyzed by scanning UV-Vis absorption wavelength based on color difference. The results showed that there was no caffeine and theaflavins, but only a small amount of catechins were detected in the three kinds of thearubigins after 30%, 50% and 70% methanol gradient elution. The color values of thearubigins after purification were 128.04 for ethyl acetate extracts, 91.04 for n-butanol extracts and 76.16 for acidic n-butanol extracts. Shading treatment, pH=3 acidic conditions and temperature below 45℃will facilitate the stability of thearubigins.
