Abstract:
      To provide a reference for the high-value utilization of walnut resources, walnut pellicle was used as raw material and extracted with a 70% methanol solution (containing 0.5% acetic acid). The extract was separated with a Sephadex LH-20 dextran gel column and subjected to gradient elution with different volume fractions of methanol solution to obtain 13 fractions of condensed tannin polymers (F1-F13). The in vitro antioxidant activity of these 13 fractions were analyzed using vitamin C as the standard sample. The results indicated that the gradient elution method with methanol solution (volume fraction 40%-75%) could successfully separate condensed tannin dimers (DP2) to heptamers (DP7) from walnut pellicle. The elution volume fractions for condensed DP2 and trimers (DP3) ranged from 40% to 60%, while the elution volume fractions for tetramers (DP4) and three other higher polymers were between 60% and 75%. After optimizing the elution process, efficient separation of DP2 and DP3 was achieved, with the elution rate of DP2 exceeding 80%. DP2 was isolated from elution fractions F2, F3, and F4, with a tatal content exceeding 1.40 mg/g, while DP3 was obtained from fractions F5 and F6, with contents of 0.66 mg/g and 0.59 mg/g, respectively. All fractions exhibited good antioxidant activity, with F4, primarily containing DP2, showing the highest antioxidant activity, measured by ferric ion reducing ant ioxidant power (FRAP) and DPPH methods as (17.22±0.68) mg/g and (24.36±0.73) mg/g, respectively. In conclusion, the gradient elution method enables the effective separation of condensed tannin polymers, allowing for the isolation of DP2 and DP3 from walnut pellicle.
