Schisandra chinensis（Turcz.）Baill；Total triterpenoids；Decoloration；Attapulgite；Activated carbon；Retention rate

S chisandra chinensis（Turcz.）Baill contains the main components which are lignans，triterpenoids，volatile oils and polysaccharides，in which lignans are the main active components.S.chinensis has the pharmacological activities of protecting liver，inhibiting nervus centralis，and resisting oxidation，aging and tumor.In recent years，researchers have found a variety of nortriterpenoid compounds including nortriterpenoids，dinortriterpenoids， trinortriterpenoids，pentanortriterpenoids and octanortriterpenoids with novel structures and high oxidation degree subjected to skeleton rearrangement［1］.Currently，the technique for extracting effective components from S.chinensis mainly is ethanol extraction method，the extract obtained by which has low purity and high pigment content and is dull black orbrown.Therefore，decoloration is very important in the production process of plant extracts，otherwise the appearances and quality of products could be affected seriously.It is necessary to adopt physical-chemical methods to remove pigments.The methods for removing pigments mainly include adsorption method，chemical methodandmacroporousresin adsorption method.Diatomite is composed of homogeneous amorphous opal having unique pore structure with large porosity，strong adsorbability，and especially large adsorption capacity to liquid，and can serve as a filtering agent and decolorant［2］.Attapulgite clay is a kind of white powder that taking attapulgite as raw material，as well as a kind ofhydrous magnesium sili-cate mineral with a layer-chain transitional type structure，belonging to sepiolite family，having specialfibrous structure with larger specific surface area and strong adsorbability［3］.The raw ore can obtain greatly-improved adsorptive property after isolation，purification and modification，resulting in higher decolorizing ability by adsorption.Ca group bentonite is a kind of private soil widely produced in nature，and contains montmorillonite as its essential mineral which is a typical phyllosilicate of 2∶1 type having tremendous specific surface area，specific surface energy and higher cation exchange capacity and adsorbability capable of removing various harmful components（metal ions，organic matters）［4］.Kaolin is a dioctahedral phyllosilicate of 1∶1 type for which a larger specific surface area results in an larger exchange capacity，and can serve as a adsorbing material［5］.Magnesium oxide（light-burned magnesia）has stronger buffer performance（pH not higher than 9）and higher activity［6］. Activated clay is a modified bentonite product obtained from bentonite by acidation modification with inorganic acids which can improve the whiteness，specific surface area and acid strength of bentonite，having the functions of adsorption and decoloration and catalysis［7-8］.Activated carbon as one of the most ancient and most important industrial adsorbent has highlydeveloped pore structure and huge internal specific surface area，the surface of which contains （or can be added with）a variety of functional groups，and it thus has stable catalytic performance，can be used at different temperature and pH values and can be regenerated［9］.Activated aluminum oxide （r-Al2O3）is a porous and highly dispersive solid material with the characteristics of large specific surface area，good adsorption performance，acidic surface and good thermal stability，and can serve as the catalyst and catalyst support for a variety of chemical reactions［10］.In this study，the effects of above eight adsorption materials as decolorants on the retention rates of total triterpenoids in S.chinensis fruit and rattan stems were investigated，in order to select the suitable adsorbents for decoloration of extracts of S.chinensis fruit and rattan stems from them.

Decoloration method The extract（20.0 ml）of each of the fruit and rattan stems of S.chinensis was added with 5%colorant，and oscillated for 2 h.After decoloration，the corresponding filtrate was centrifuged in a centrifuge at 4 500 r/min for 10 min to obtain a supernatant.The supernatant was diluted with 95%ethanol to 20.0 ml，and then determined to obtain decoloration rates，and contents of total triterpenoids，and each treatment was repeated for three times to give a mean value.

Results and Analysis

Determination of decoloration rate

近年來，全國各地房價節(jié)節(jié)攀升，個人購房越來越向銀行住房貸款傾斜，自我國商業(yè)銀行推行個人住房貸款專項以來，已經(jīng)為越來越多的人解決了住房難題。然而，個人住房貸款的增加也使得個人房貸違約的想象頻頻發(fā)生，給商業(yè)銀行帶來不小的經(jīng)濟損失，已成為造成商業(yè)銀行經(jīng)營風險的一部分。當前的一些商業(yè)銀行對于個人住房貸款帶來的風險問題還不夠重視，并且當前我國的個人征信系統(tǒng)還不夠健全，商業(yè)銀行在對個人放貸之前難以對其進行全面的信用調(diào)查，造成了商業(yè)銀行不能發(fā)現(xiàn)在放貸個人中存在的潛在違約風險。因此，住宅消費者個人房貸違約現(xiàn)象的多發(fā)給商業(yè)銀行帶來經(jīng)營風險，進而有可能造成房地產(chǎn)金融風險。

Determination of determination wavelength With distilled water as reference，the extracts of S.chinensis fruit and rattan stems free of decoloration were scanned under 400-800 nm，and it was determined that the maximum absorption wavelengths of the extracts of S.chinensis fruit and rattan stems were 535 and 660 nm，respectively，as shown in Fig.1.

Determination ofsample decoloration rate With distilled water as reference，decolorized extracts of S.chinensis fruit and rattan stems were determined at 535 and 660 nm to obtain absorbances，respectively，for calculating decoloration rates.The calculation formula of decoloration rate is shown as following:

Decoloration rate= （D1-D2）/D1× 100%.

In which:D1represents the absorbance before decoloration；and D2represents the absorbance after decoloration.

lnvestigation of Methodology

Standard curve plotting A certain amount（1.0 mg）oleanolic acid dried to constant weight was weighed accurately to a 10 ml volumetric flask，into which absolute ethylalcoholwas added to dissolve the oleanolic acid，and the obtained solution was then diluted to constant volume and shaken to obtain 0.1 mg/ml standard solution. Certain amounts（0.2，0.4，0.6，0.8，1.0 and1.2 ml）of the standard solutions were accurately sucked into test tubes，heated in boiling water baths to vaporize ethanol and added with 50 g/L vanillic aldehyde-glacialacetic acid（0.2 ml）and perchloric acid（0.8 ml）to obtain solutions which were subjected to heating in water baths at 60℃for 15 min followed by cooling，addition of glacial acetic acid （5.0 ml）and shaking.The final solutions were determined at547 nm to obtain absorbances （D547nm）.A standard curve was constructed with the concentrations of oleanolic acid as horizontal coordinates and absorbances （D547nm）as vertical coordinates.Regression was performed to obtain a following equation:y=0.006 8x+0.009 7，r2= 0.999 1，and it was shown that there was a good linear relation between D547nmand the concentration of oleanolic acid in the range of 0-120 μg/ml（Fig.2）.

Precision test The standard solution（0.5 ml）was accurately sucked into six test tubes，respectively，and other steps were the same as the preparation of the standard curve.The obtained solutions were determined at 547 nm to obtained absorbances，the RSD value of which was 0.83%，indicating that the precision of the instruments used by this experiment was good.

Stability test The No.4 sample for the precision test was determined at 10，20，30，60，90 and 120 min to obtain D547nm，and the standard solution was stable substantially within 30 min after development，indicating the two test solutions were stable within 2 h.

Repeatability test Sixpartsof samples were weighed，respectively，to prepare test solutions which were determined，showing a RSD value of 1.96% ，indicating the method had good repeatability.

Standard recovery test Five parts of fruit and rattan stems of the same batch with known contents were accurately weighed，respectively，and were added with the same amounts of standard solutions，respectively，to prepare solutions.The recovery rates were calculated，showing RSD values of 2.75%and 2.20% ，respectively（Table 1）.

Decoloration rate and retention rates of total triterpenoids by various adsorbents

As shown in Fig.3，the decoloration effects of different decolorants on the extract of S.chinensis fruit were in the order of:attapulgite＞activated carbon＞activated aluminum oxide＞kaolin＞magnesium oxide＞diatomite＞Ca group bentonite＞activated clay（from good to bad），in which attapulgite exhibited the best decoloration effect on S.chinensis fruit，with a decoloration rate up to 60.47%，and had the highest retention rate of total triterpenoids.In fact，attapulgite not only adsorbs pigments in decoloration process，but also removes peroxides，saponins，trace metals，phosphorus，sulfide and oxidation products，and it ischeap as well［11］.Therefore，attapulgite was chosen as the decolorant for the extract of S.chinensis fruit.

As shown in Fig.4，the decoloration effects of different decolorants on the extract of S.chinensis rattan stems were in the order of:activated carbon＞diatomite＞attapulgite＞magnesium oxide＞kaolin＞activated aluminum oxide＞activated clay＞Ca group bentonite，in which activated carbon exhibited the best decoloration effect on S.chinensis rattan stems，with a decoloration rate up to 69.24%，and had a higher retention rate of total triterpenoids.
