A simplified and efficient method is developed for the large-scale purification of the secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) from defatted flaxseed after aqueous ethanol extraction. Extractant from defatted flaxseed with aqueous ethanol is hydrolyzed with basic solution, concentrated under vacuum, subjected to Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and eluted with aqueous ethanol of different concentrations. Elution is monitored by a UV detector at 280 nm, and fractions containing SDG are pooled, concentrated, and applied to a second column chromatography under the same conditions. Elution with water results in a better resolution of SDG [94.5% by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)] than that with pure ethanol or 50% (v/v) aqueous ethanol. HPLC-photodiode array detection-mass spectrometry and NMR are applied to identify SDG and to determine the purity of the eluted fraction. This simplified purification scheme avoids toxic organic solvent used in the common silica gel separation process and, thus, increases the safety of the process.
