Squalene Purification Solution

Squalene is a natural organic terpene compound that is commonly found in a variety of organisms such as animals and plants. It is a precursor for the synthesis of important molecules such as Vd and cholesterol in the human body. It has multiple biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, and anti-cardiovascular disease, and is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and other industries.

At present, the common squalene extraction method is mainly based on liquid phase extraction from plant sources, but the purity of squalene obtained by these methods is still not high enough, so further purification is required. In order to facilitate processing, the crude product obtained after extraction will also undergo saponification, esterification and other processing. At this time, molecular distillation equipment can be used to remove impurities such as fatty acids and esters in the crude product, and then the final squalene product is obtained by solvent extraction or column chromatography. According to the situation of customer materials, multi-stage molecular distillation can be used in the molecular distillation stage, which can improve the yield and recover part of the solvent, reduce costs, and improve the purity of the final product. The measured product purity can reach 98%.
