Forty-two per cent of the desiccated leaves of Myrothamnus flabellifolia was extracted in methanol, and contained two major components, sucrose (30percent) and arbutin (65percent).Its arbutin content can probably explain the purported medicinal properties of this plant.By analogy with other desiccation-tolerant organisms, sucrose and arbutin may be partially responsible for the extreme resistance of Myrothamnus to environmental stress.Key Word Index - Myrothamnus flabellifolia; Myrothamnaceae; resurrection plant; arbutin; sucrose.
Synthesis method for beta-arbutin
-
Paragraph 0024; 0025, (2017/10/13)
The invention discloses a synthesis method for beta-arbutin and belongs to the field of synthesis of daily chemical additives. The invention aims to provide a synthesis method of which the yield can reach 81 to 90 percent. According to the method, tetra-acetyl arbutin is acetylated, and then a product is de-acetylated, wherein the tetra-acetyl arbutin is obtained by reaction among penta-acetyl glucopyranose, hydroquinone and derivatives thereof under ionic liquid. The synthesis method for the beta-arbutin can be used for synthesizing the beta-arbutin in daily chemical products.
