Influence of plant matrix on microwave-assisted extraction process. The case of diosgenin extracted from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)

A focused microwave-assisted extraction method was developed for the extraction of diosgenin from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds, air-dried and fresh leaves and air-dried roots.

The two latter parameters were found to be the most important. Response surface modelling was used to predict the extraction yield of diosgenin in selected matrices. The analysis of diosgenin in crude extracts was carried out by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Three-liquid-phase extraction of diosgenin and steroidal saponins from fermentation of Dioscorea zingibernsis C. H. Wright

Diosgenin is an important starting material in the steroidal hormone industry. The yield of diosgenin obtained from the fermentation of Dioscorea zingibernsis C. H. Wright (DZW) by Trichoderma harzianum is higher than that typically obtained from acid hydrolysis. In this paper, the extraction of steroids in the culture broth was studied. A novel three-liquid-phase system (TLPS) consisted of petroleum ether, ethanol, ammonium sulphate and water was used to separate diosgenin and steroidal saponins in the culture broth. The partition behaviors of various steroidal saponins, diosgenin and glucose were investigated. From this, an optimized TLPS was obtained, which composed of 30% ethanol (w/w), 17% (NH₄)₂SO₄ (w/w) and 40% (w/w) petroleum ether. In the optimized TLPS, almost all of the diosgenin was extracted into the top phase giving a recovery of 97.24%, whereas the steroidal saponins were mainly extracted into the middle phase, with recoveries of zingibernsis newsaponin, deltonin and diosgenin-diglucoside reaching almost 100%. The recoveries of trillin and diosgenin-triglucoside were 96.03% and 98.82%, respectively. Glucose tended to remain in the bottom phase, giving a recovery of 72.01%. The three-liquid-phase extraction (TLPE) successfully resulted in the simultaneous separation of diosgenin, untransformed steroidal saponins and glucose.     

Direct Biotransformation of Dioscin into Diosgenin in Rhizome of Dioscorea zingiberensis by Penicillium dioscin

Diosgenin is an important precursor for synthesis of more than 200 steroidal hormone medicines. Rhizome of Dioscorea zingiberensis C. H. Wright (RDZ) contained the highest content of diosgenin in Dioscorea plant species. Diosgenin is traditionally extracted by acid hydrolysis from RDZ. However, the acid hydrolysis process produces massive wastewater which caused serious environment pollution. In this study, diosgenin extraction by direct biotransformation with Penicillium dioscin was investigated. The spawn cultivation conditions were optimized as: Czapeks liquid culture medium without sugar and agar (1,000 ml) + 6.0 g dioscin/6.0 g DL, 30 °C, 36 h; solid fermentation of RDZ: mycelia/RDZ of 0.05 g/kg, 30 °C, 50 h; the yield of diosgenin was over 90 %. Spawn cultivation was crucial for the direct biotransformation. In the spawn cultivation, amount and ratio of dioscin/DL were the key factors to promote biotransformation activity of P. dioscin. This biotransformation method was environment-friendly, simple and energy saving, and might be a potential substitute for acid hydrolysis in diosgenin extraction industry.     

Process optimization for the production of diosgenin with Trichoderma reesei

Based on the response surface methodology, an effective microbial system for diosgenin production from enzymatic pretreated Dioscorea zingiberensis tubers with Trichoderma reesei was studied. The fermentation medium was optimized with central composite design (3⁵) depended on Plackett–Burmann design which identified significant impacts of peptone, K₂HPO₄ and Tween 80 on diosgenin yield. The effects of different fermentation conditions on diosgenin production were also studied. Four parameters, i.e. incubation period, temperature, initial pH and substrate concentration were optimized using 4⁵ central composite design. The highest diosgenin yield of 90.57% was achieved with 2.67% (w/v) of peptone, 0.29% (w/v) of K₂HPO₄, 0.73% (w/v) of Tween 80 and 9.77% (w/v) of substrate, under the condition of pH 5.8, temperature 30 °C. The idealized incubation time was 6.5 days. After optimization, the product yield increased by 33.70% as compared to 67.74 ± 1.54% of diosgenin yield in not optimized condition. Scale-up fermentation was carried out in a 5.0 l bioreactor, maximum diosgenin yield of 90.17 ± 3.12% was obtained at an aeration of 0.80 vvm and an agitation rate of 300 rpm. The proposed microbial system is clean and effective for diosgenin production and thus more environmentally acceptable than the traditional acid hydrolysis.     

4-hydroxyisoleucine an unusual amino acid as antidyslipidemic and antihyperglycemic agent

Trigonella foenum-graecum, commonly known as fenugreek, is an annual herbaceous plant. From the seeds of T. foenum-graecum an unusual amino acid, 4-hydroxyisoleucine 5, has been isolated, which significantly decreased the plasma triglyceride levels by 33% (P<0.002), total cholesterol (TC) by 22% (P<0.02), and free fatty acids by 14%, accompanied by an increase in HDL-C/TC ratio by 39% in the dyslipidemic hamster model.     

The best utilization of D. zingiberensis C.H. Wright by an eco-friendly process

An eco-friendly process for the best utilization of D. zingiberensis C.H. Wright tubers was developed. In the first stage, cellulose and ethanol were recovered by physical separation, multi-enzymes hydrolysis with yeast fermentation, and in the second stage diosgenin was separated using ethanol-modified supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The new approach could not only recover 95% of diosgenin production, 95% of ethanol and 75% of cellulose, but also efficiently reduce 88% of COD in wastewater compared with the conventional method, which only extract diosgenin with discharging 80,000mg/l of COD into public sewers. The research indicates that the proposed system could be a clean and technological-efficient alternative to conventional processing of D. zingiberensis C.H. Wright tubers in industry.
