Abstract
In this study, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was used to extract essential oil from Acorus tatarinowii Schott under the pressure of 25 MPa and temperature of 35°C. Two (E)‐ and (Z)‐diastereomers of α‐asarone and β‐asarone were separated and purified by high‐speed counter‐current chromatography (HSCCC) with a two‐phase solvent system composed of n‐hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (1:0.2:1:0.3, v/v). The separation yielded a total of 39 mg of α‐asarone and 463 mg of β‐asarone from 1.0 g of essential oil in one‐step separation with the purity of 98.9 and 99.1%, respectively, as determined by HPLC. The chemical structures of these compounds were identified by EI‐MS, 1H‐, and 13C‐NMR.
