Description
What is Protocatechuic acid ?
Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid. It is a simple phenolic acid, which is the precursor of synthesizing other complex molecules, such as anthocyanin 3-O-β-D- glucoside and vanillin. Protocatechuic acid is found in edible vegetables, fruits, nuts, brown rice, pecans, tea, hibiscus and some Chinese herbal medicines.
Protocatechuic acid is white to brownish needle-like crystal with melting point of about 200℃ (decomposition). Soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water. Decompose in boiling water and release carbon dioxide. The aqueous solution is green when it meets ferric chloride and dark red when it meets sodium bicarbonate.

How to extract Protocatechuic acid ?
Extracting protocatechuic acid from lilac leaves;
(1) Pretreatment of samples. Lilac Ye Yuan medicinal materials are dried, seeds and various impurities are removed by selection, and crushed by a crusher to obtain fine powder.
(2) Extraction of protocatechuic acid. 2.0g of lilac leaf powder screened by 40 mesh sieve was weighed and extracted with organic solvent under the set technological conditions. Filtering the extractive solution, discarding the residue, and recovering the solution to obtain a crude extract.
Add organic solution to the crude extract, shake it to dissolve, transfer it into a separatory funnel, extract it with liquid for 3 times, 50ml each time, adjust the pH to 6.0, and evaporate Protocatechuic acid to dryness to obtain almost white powder crystals.
