Abstract

Soybean-derived phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a valuable phospholipid component yet its high-purity form is costly and its molecular structure is poorly understood. The present study combined solvent extraction and cryopurification to purify PE. The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: material-liquid ratio 1:15 (g/mL), ethanol base concentration 100:4 (Vanhydrous ethanol /V25% ammonia), extraction temperature 40 °C, time 60 min, extraction twice. The cryopurification conditions were: material-liquid ratio 1:60, ethanol base concentration 100:6 (Vanhydrous ethanol/V25% ammonia), freezing temperature − 20 °C, time 20 h. UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis revealed phospholipid composition of raw material, crude product, and purified product. The results showed that the purity of PE in the purified products was 76.74%, and the yield was 72.43% under optimal conditions. 181 phospholipid molecules were quantified. The study successfully explored high-purity PE preparation method and the composition of PE product. It provides a basis for the subsequent exploration of its biofunction and potential applications.
