Method for extracting protein from traditional Chinese medicine extraction tank

**Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Extraction Tanks**

TCM extraction tanks are specialized equipment designed for the extraction and processing of active compounds from Chinese medicinal materials. These tanks support various extraction methods and offer high efficiency and ease of operation.

### **Key Features and Applications:**

1. **Extraction Methods:**

- Water extraction

- Alcohol extraction

- Volatile oil extraction

- Protein extraction

- Percolation, warm immersion, reflux, and circulating immersion

- Pressurized or reduced-pressure leaching

2. **Solvent Recovery:**

- Efficient recovery of solvents from residues.

3. **Protein Extraction and Preparation:**

- Proteins are extracted based on their solubility in different solvents:

- **Water-soluble proteins:** Extracted using water or dilute salt solutions.

- **Lipid-bound proteins:** Soluble in organic solvents like ethanol or acetone.

- **Insoluble proteins:** Extracted with dilute alkaline solutions or detergents.

- Solubility is influenced by molecular structure (hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic groups) and external factors like temperature, pH, and ionic strength.

4. **Applications:**

- Suitable for various TCM processes, including the extraction of intracellular and extracellular proteins.

- Used for separating proteins from unwanted substances through centrifugation and solvent-specific techniques.

These tanks are essential for modern TCM production, enabling efficient and precise extraction of valuable medicinal compounds.
