METHOD FOR SEPARATING AND RECOVERING FLAVONOID COMPOUND AND LIMONOID COMPOUND CONTAINED IN CITRUS FRUITS

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain a method for separating and recovering a flavonoid and a limonoid compounds in which the flavonoid and limonoid compounds contained in citrus fruits can be separated and economically and advantageously recovered. CONSTITUTION:The objective method for separating and recovering a flavonoid and a limonoid compounds comprises the first step of adding a microorganism or a yeast to a marc of citrus fruits and subjecting impurities to the decomposing treatment and the second step of centrifuging the resultant treated substance obtained in the first step into a precipitated fraction containing the flavonoid compound and a supernatant fraction containing the limonoid compound.
