Solvent Extraction of Fucoidan and Its Stripping with Salt Solution
褐藻糖胶的萃取和反萃

The effect of inorganic salt added into aqueous fucoidan solution on fucoidan extraction was investigated. It is found that extraction of fucoidan decreases rapidly with the increase of inorganic salt concentration in the aqueous solution. Based on this phenomenon, the stripping of fucoidan was carried out with aqueous salt solution. The experimental results show that the stripping of fucoidan increases with the concentration of inorganic salt in the aqueous solution and decreases with the increase of fucoidan concentration in the organic phase. In addition, the stripping efficiency of NaCl solution is higher than that of CaCl2 solution at the same chloride ion concentration. The effect of organic solvent as diluent on the stripping of fucoidan was also studied. It is shown that the stripping of fucoidan with carbon tetrachloride as diluent is more difficult than that with the other organic solvents.
