Process for the production of heparin

摘要

The invention relates to a simplified process for the extraction of heparin from animal mucosa tissue. The method consists of an enzymatic hydrolysis step of the raw material at ambient temperature, followed by hydrolysis for up to 6 hours at a temperature of 50-75° C. Raise in temperature is obtained by easy means. The digestion mixture can be further incubated while cooling down to ambient temperature. Heparin is recovered from anion exchanger present in the protein hydrolysate.
