A method for producing isolated limonoid glucoside compounds is disclosed
which includes extracting a quantity of defatted citrus seed powder with
a solvent, filtering the resulting extract to yield a particle free
extract and concentrating the particle free extract to yield a
concentrate. The concentrate is loaded onto an ion exchange column that
is coupled to an adsorption column. The ion exchange column is washed
with deionized water and the eluate from the ion exchange column is
passed through the adsorption column. The adsorption column is then
eluted using a series of mobile phases in which composition of each
successive mobile phase is graduated. A series of eluate fractions are
collected from the adsorption column and concentrated to produce isolated
crystals of limonin glucoside, deacetyl nomilinic acid glucoside and
isoobacunoic acid glucoside.
