A method for extracting litseacubeba essential oil by rapid flash evaporation
Technical Field The present inventionrelates to the extraction field of litseacubeba essential oil, in particular to a method for extracting litseacubeba essential oil by rapid flash evaporation.
Background Technology Litseacubeba, also known as mountain spicy tree fruit, pungent litse fruit, linderaglauca, and piper cubeba (Chinese medicine name), is deciduous leaf dungarunga or shrub of LauraceaeLitsea, mature in July and August by changing color from turquoise to dark red or black. Litseacubebais widely distributed in provinces (regions) of South China, and also distributed in Southeast Asian countries, with excellent properties, such as fast growth, barren tolerance, strong germination ability, easy reproduction and high yield. As one of the main spice economic tree species in China, litseacubebais widely distributed in Jiangxi Province with rich resources, and the essential oil extracted from its fruit and leaves has a wide range of application in foods, medicines, daily chemical products and so on. Litseacubeba essential oil is a natural essential oil with the highest export volume in China, the yield of litseacubeba essential oil is at least 70,000-80,000 tons in China, its import and export volume accounts for more than 80% of the total world trade each year,and China holds the international control of litseacubeba essential oil.
Citral extracted from litseacubeba essential oil is a very popular spice product in the market in short supply but in great demand, and its demand is increasing in the domestic market too. Meanwhile, citral is also an intermediate raw material in pharmaceutical industry for synthesis of -ionone, methyl ionone, vitamin A, citralnitrile and other products.
At present, the main methods for extraction of litseacubeba essential oil include steam distillation extraction, ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction, microwave-assisted solvent extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extraction, and organic solvent extraction and so on. Among them, microwave-assisted solvent extraction and ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction can promote and improve the yield of essential oil to a certain extent, but it is difficult for large-scale industrial production due to the presence of lots of problems such as solvent residue, low purity of essential oil and cumbersome production equipment. The supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extraction method has the advantages of high extraction efficiency and no solvent residue, but the production equipment is cumbersome, the production cost is high, and the feasibility of industrial production is not high. The organic solvent extraction method has the problems of low oil yield, residual solvent and low purity of essential oil, etc. In contrast, steam distillation extraction method has the advantages of simple process, easy access to equipment, low cost, stable yield and high purity of essential oil, etc., which is widely used by domestic and foreign manufacturers at present. However, the steam distillation method for extraction of litseacubeba essential oil used in the factory production has the problems of long extraction time, incomplete oil extraction and high labor intensity, etc. In order to enhance the extraction yield and processing efficiency and improve the quality of essential oil, the present invention provides a method for extracting litseacubeba essential oil by rapid flash evaporation, and realizes the efficient and rapid extraction of litseacubeba essential oil by means of pressurized boiling and rapid pressure release.
A reported method for extracting litseacubeba oil and citralfrom litseacubeba: freshly collected litseacubeba fruits are soaked in warm water for 1 day and then put into a distiller for extraction of essential oil. A reported method for extracting litseacubeba oil: complete and fresh litseacubeba fruits are added into the boiling water, distilled in water with the steam pressure of 0.2~0.3 MPa for 1.0~1.5h, and separated oil and water to obtain litseacubeba oil, which can improve the oil yield to a certain degree. Areported method for simultaneously preparing litseacubeba essential oil and kernel oil: oil is extracted by an improved aqueous extraction process, and fresh litseacubeba fruits are firstly crushed, and then homogenized, modified with acid, fractionated for essential oil, and separated for kernel oil tofinally obtain essential oil and kernel oil, respectively. A reported method for extracting litseacubeba oil and citral: litseacubeba essential oil is obtained by slightly damaging epidermis and adding ultrasonic vibration distillation.
To sum up, in the aspect of extraction and research of essential oil, fruit crushing, ultrasonic technology, simultaneous extraction technology of essential oil and kernel oil, and comprehensive utilization technology, etc., are used to improve and optimize the extraction of essential oil. The present invention also adopts steam distillation method, but the difference is that the essential oil is extracted by pressurized steam boiling and flashevaporation, which greatly shortens the extraction time of essential oil and reduces the extraction cost.
