COMPOSITION CONTAINING OROTIC ACID, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a composition containing orotic acid and having a uric acid content of equal to or lower than a detection limit with high efficiency and at low cost by separating and removing uric acid from a liquid composition containing orotic acid and uric acid. The present invention provides a process for producing a composition containing orotic acid and having a uric acid content of equal to or lower than a detection limit, which comprises a step of bringing active carbon into contact with a liquid composition containing orotic acid and uric acid, a step of bringing the active carbon that has been subjected to the contacting procedure into contact with an alkaline solution to elute orotic acid, and a step of collecting the eluted alkaline solution containing orotic acid.
