The disclosure discloses a method for separating phenolic acid glucoside compounds from Diaphragma juglandis Fructus, belonging to the technical field of food. The method includes the following steps: (1) extraction: crushing Diaphragma juglandis Fructus, and then extracting by using ethanol to obtain walnut ethanol extract; and (2) separation: performing column chromatography on the walnut ethanol extract obtained in step (1), sequentially eluting by using ethanol of different concentrations, purifying and eluting repeatedly, and performing separation to obtain phenolic acid glucoside compounds. The phenolic acid glucoside compounds are 2-hydroxyl-5-methoxylphenyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 6-hydroxylnaphthyl-1,2-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and 2,6-dihydroxynaphthyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. Pharmacological experiments confirm that the three compounds have good antioxidant activity.

The present disclosure discloses a 1-carboxy-2-hydroxy-3-iminopropane and an extraction method thereof, and belongs to the technical fields of food, health food and medicine. A method for extracting the 1-carboxy-2-hydroxy-3-iminopropane of the present disclosure includes the following steps: (1) adding a diaphragma juglandis fructus powder into an ethanol solution for extraction and filtration to obtain a supernatant, and conducting concentration on the supernatant under reduced pressure to obtain a walnut alcohol extract; (2) adding a filter residue of step (1) into water for extraction and filtration to obtain a supernatant, and conducting concentration on the supernatant under reduced pressure to obtain a walnut water extract; and (3) mixing the walnut alcohol extract and the water extract to obtain a diaphragma juglandis fructus mixed extract, sequentially conducting elution through an AB-8 type macroporous resin column, an MCI column and an ODS column, and conducting separation to obtain a precipitate, namely the 1-carboxy-2-hydroxy-3-iminopropane. In the present disclosure, the 1-carboxy-2-hydroxy-3-iminopropane in diaphragma juglandis fructus is found for the first time and has great sedation and hypnosis activity.
