Description

Extracting process and equipment thereof that microwave is auxiliary
The present invention relates to a kind of improved method, product and equipment thereof that utilizes microwave energy from biological material, to extract the solubility natural products.
The now existing multiple method of utilizing microwave.For example Gannon is at us4, and the method for narration after the cereal fatty and oily with microwave drying, is removed the peel the extraction grease subsequently in 464,402.In addition, the method that Ganzler and salgo delivered on the z.Lebensmunters Forsch184:274-276 page or leaf in 1987, this method is utilized the microwave heating extraction medium.In these examples, microwave irradiation is mainly used in heating extractant medium.
Collins is at us4, in 554, No. 132, disclosed and used microwave drying food, utilize solvent-extracted method again, but he do not point out extraction process.
GB1,209,675 have narrated and have utilized microwave irradiation, make the enzyme deactivation in the palm fruit, and use the solvent extraction palm oil.
People such as Heitkamp are at CA987, point out in 993, and when containing certain humidity and suitable solvent, as tobacco or tealeaves etc., its in-house smell and aroma ingredients can be moved to the surface at microwave action.But they do not propose any these smells and aroma ingredients to be extracted the better method of going in the medium that is extracted.
In addition, people such as Craveiro, at Flavour and Fragrance Journal4,1989, discussed among the 43-44 that plant material is placed air stream, utilize microwave irradiation to produce the method for volatile oil then.
Ganzler, salgo and valko be at Journal of Chromatography371, and 1986, disclose the method for utilizing microwave preparation organic phosphate pesticide, anti-nutraceutical (antinutrtives) and natural fat sample among the 299-306.Dry sample raw material is suspended in the organic media after wearing into particle.People's such as Ganzler this method has just mechanically been destroyed body of gland in the dried feed and dimension pipe before microwave treatment, thereby has caused the loss of volatile oil, simultaneously, some materials that obtain also can occur not expecting.The separation of these materials will take a long time.In addition, this method is also pointed out, after the suspension cooling, reuses microwave irradiation.Like this, under the situation that volatile oil and extractant do not reclaim fully, just heat.
Steam distillation and solvent-extracted method are well-known, but adopt high temperature and dangerous organic solvent, can produce pollutant.
Therefore, need a kind of microwave induced extracting process and equipment that is not subjected to above-mentioned limitations affect, it can obtain maximum production, can reclaim volatile oil and other utilities in the cell biological material again.
The invention provides a kind of more selective, more efficiently extraction scheme that is used for extraction of natural products.
The present invention utilizes microwave energy to make with the body of gland of the contacted biological material of a certain amount of non-aqueous organic solvent or produce a rapid temperature rise sometimes in its skeleton.
One aspect of the present invention is to provide the method for extracting volatile oil from grease-contained biological material.It comprises: a kind of biological material source that comprises complete basically body of gland system is provided, and this material has enough humidity can utilize microwave energy extraction volatile oil.In the method, this material floods to obtain described volatile oil with non-water extractant earlier.The irradiation that utilizes microwave energy then produces the different temperature difference on material and extractant, therefore volatile oil is discharged from raw material and extract, simultaneously, these volatile oil that are extracted out from material will be by the low extractant cooling of temperature, therefore, oily temperature will be lower than the oil temperature that just extracts from raw material in extractant.The entire process process can comprise separates residue and reclaims described grease in the extraction oil from solvent.
The invention still further relates to a kind of equipment that is used for extracting volatile oil and other materials, comprising from biological material:
At least one microwave high-frequency heating electrode (Microwaveapplicater);
A blending tank that mixes described biological material and extractant;
From first mixture of described blending tank conveying biological material and extractant, the pump installation that the described microwave high-frequency heating of process electrode is handled;
The device that separates the extractant that includes extract liquid the mixture after handling;
The extractant of separating is recycled with pending biological material mix, and form the device of second mixture; With
Supply with the device of described second mixture to microwave high-frequency heating electrode.
The invention still further relates to a kind of method that from the biological material that contains volatile oil, obtains volatile oil, comprise the steps:
The biological material of the complete body of gland of a kind of tool system is provided, and this biological material has enough moisture to be enough to allow to adopt microwave energy to extract described volatile oil;
Surround described biological raw material to extract described volatile oil with non-water extractant;
With the described biological material of microwave energy irradiation, between described biological material and described non-water extractant, to produce the difference heating, coming together from described biological material whereby described volatile oil, comes together the volatile oil that to be lower than come together temperature when of the volatile oil that comes together from biological material from biological material with described non-water extractant cooling.
One of the present invention method is preferably immersed in a kind of non-water organic extractant for the biological material that will have grease-contained described cellular material, and this material source has complete substantially body of gland system and moisture, guarantees to make in microwave processing process body of gland to break.Then, use this biological material of microwave energy irradiation again, when the material temperature rise extremely enough caused the body of gland system destruction, the volatile oil in this biomaterial will be extracted in the organic extractant.
Grease through this operation extraction will cool off with extractant.Then, in the extractant that extra biological material adds to again, at this moment, contained the grease that from the first step, comes together in these extractants.Same material and this extractant are placed under the microwave irradiation, and the material in the extractant that at this moment obtains is warming up to the degree of the body of gland system destruction that can make wherein again, around oil is wherein then come out by collection and is diffused into.This procedure can constantly repeat, and correspondingly, these greases can be separated from the extractant that obtains like this.
The benefit of Chu Liing has been to reduce common required solvent load like this, has also obtained the extract that concentrates simultaneously.
Opposite with additive method, the present invention makes material more preferably obtain processing than solvent and makes its absorption microwave energy, like this, the grease solvent around it that comes together after obtains cooling, thus the grease that can cause when having avoided microwave treatment or the thermal decomposition of some sensitive materials.
Therefore, applicant's method is one so-called " cold working ", and wherein, solvent does not absorb microwave energy, so nearly all microwave energy all is passed to processed material.The temperature difference between material and the extract has guaranteed that grease is transferred in the extractant.
Organic matter, for example hexane or other suitable non-water aliphatic series organic matters all are reasonable extractants.Usually, these materials all are " microwave transparency ", and promptly they can not absorb microwave energy in a large number owing to lack molecular dipole moment.Also can use cosolvent.The quiet dielectric constant of these extractants perhaps, should be transparent to the microwave frequency of microwave source generally between 0 to 28.
If biological material lacks moisture, before microwave treatment, in material, add solvent so with pure dipole moment, make material rehydration or dissolve in once more, these solvents with net dipole moment will be opaque for microwave, for example, and the mixture of methyl alcohol, ethanol and these solvents etc.
If use the translucent organic solvent of a kind of microwave, so, in microwave processing process, the temperature of this solvent will be lower than biological material, the temperature of the grease that especially is extracted.
In addition, the present invention also adopts the spe medium system, and for example a kind of single extractant or two or more suitable and the extractant solution that mixes are used for obtaining the oil of rectifying respectively.
Use the raw material of not pulverizing to handle to obtain than grinding to such an extent that the raw material of doing pulverized is handled and obtained much better result.With almost being whole or the material of bulk has been avoided destruction to body of gland and vascular system, thereby can obtain high-quality and more valuable desirable product.
Gland tissue is meant that mainly those secrete various secretion, mainly is the histoorgan of honey.Vascular tissue then refers to the passage of those fluid transfers.Usually, the volatile oil that extracts in the biology comprises the essential oil in the body of gland system.This grease has the taste and the fragrance of material, is usually used in doing spices and flavouring.FOR ALL WE KNOW the road is such, and volatile oil is that the main distinction of essence wet goods and expressed oi such as cottonseed oil, linseed oil or coconut oil just is that the former is not a fatty glyceride.
This notion of volatile oil also comprises in the Plants and Animals raw material, essential oil and other lipoidis for example for example, aliphatic acid, fatty wet goods material, these materials can will come together in their bodies of gland from corresponding animal-plant material or the similar system with the method for the present invention narration.
The present invention is applicable to many kinds of biological tissues, for example is used to make plant tissue or its hetero-organization of spices, as animal tissue.These plant materials comprise mentba canadensis (Canadian pepper mint), seaweeds such as Irish moss, various vegetables such as onion, garlic and some other similar plant.Those animal materials are for example liver, kidney, yolk etc. or product then, as sea anemone, sea cucumber; Shell class animal such as lobster and other shellfish are arranged, and warm water and cold water fish or the like all can be used to refine pigment, grease or the like.A very tempting purposes is from the organ such as liver of fish, extracts required grease, and these organs are as pharmacy and human source of using needed acid, and these volatile oil are for example Ω-3 and Ω-6 oil and analog thereof.
Specifically, the invention provides the equipment that from biological material, extracts essence and other materials.This equipment comprises having a microwave high-frequency heating electrode at least and carry the device of biological material and the mixture of extractant through this electrode, and the device of removal extractant the separating liquid and the liquid after filtering also is provided from processed mixture.
The microwave high-frequency heating electrode comes work by known parameter usually, rated power for example, and greatly between 200 to 10,000 watts, frequency is greatly about 800 to 30,000MHz or higher.Usually, as long as a certain component in the material has to a certain degree absorption for a certain wavelength in the microwave spectrum, the wavelength of this microwave just can use.Only need change the difference that exposure time remedies degree of absorption a little.Several different microwave high-frequencies heating electrodes can be provided simultaneously.
Solvent reservoir and colvent inlet and sample inlet device that this equipment also provides the material that adapts with organic solvent to make.Available proper device such as pump are sent into mixture or process microwave high-frequency heating electrode.In order to remove residual plant material, make mixture continuously by filter, as filter paper or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sieve etc.In addition, these equipment also comprise the device of removing moisture content from the sample that desire is handled, and this device can comprise and can be added in the filter as separation phase, and for this purpose and the drier that uses.
Described material preferably pump is separated solvent to separator such as rotary evaporator etc. from described oil-containing material.Solvent then can be by in addition condensation of condenser.
Use the suitable connecting line that is used for microwave treatment, as glass tube, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), quartzy or other microwave equipment is connected to each other described equipment, and in addition, described pipeline comprises suitable valve, for example, glass or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pipe close or the like.
To illustrate optimum implementation below, wherein;
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of present device;
According to the present invention, be generally: microwave radiation is the spe medium by microwave freely, (the microwave medium can determine it is that those quiet dielectric constants are less usually to reach interior body of gland of biological material and skeleton, that is do not have a material of net dipole moment, quiet dielectric constant as hexane is 1.9, and the quiet dielectric constant of carbon tetrachloride is 2.2, liquid carbon dioxide, when the pressure of 0 ℃ and 50atm, quiet dielectric constant is 1.6).And the bigger material of those quiet dielectric constants, water for example, quiet dielectric constant reaches 80.4.In extraction process, material has absorbed a part of microwave radiation, and absorption coefficient then depends on the water content (or the absorption microwave component of adding what) of material widely.After such processing, material inside will produce rapid temperature rise, and this temperature rise is particularly evident in body of gland and skeleton.This temperature rise will last till always when intracellular pressure has surpassed the expanding ability of cell membrane that therefore cell membrane breaks.Material in the cell flow out cell arrive around in the medium of lower temperature, separate and dissolve described oil.Solid material is separated, and the solution of gained can be with handling with the identical mode that other natural products extractions are adopted.
The consumption that is used to contact the extractant of dipping material can change in a big way.Common consumption is to make it to be enough to all to come together from biological material with physics mode all required compositions, and extractant can be 1: 1 to 20: 1 with the ratio (liter/kilogram) of used material.
The plant material that newly is extracted is found when electron microscopy, with the mentba canadensis is example, behind 20 seconds microwave-induced extraction, the degree of breaking of its body of gland is suitable with degree behind 2 hours conventional steam distillation and 6 hours the Soxhlet extractron (soxhlet extraction procsses).Electron microscope has also been explained relatively and has been changed as extraction in 2 to 3 minutes through the short time, obtained the high-quality situation of extract.So just can adjust penetration power, to obtain best effect according to spe medium.If make solvent with hexane, from peppermint, extract volatile oil, short time extraction and raw material are fresh and complete, and the pigment and other composition of not expecting that just do not have in the solvent in the plant material occur.Conventional steam distillation and other extracting process use the raw material after the pulverizing usually, compare with the present invention, and the last size of using is quite crucial in these methods, therefore, has increased extra step again.Macroscopic examination confirms, the respective substance that the contained pigment composition of the material that utilizes the present invention to extract obtains far below steam distillation.
The present invention uses the spe medium system, and this system can be single extractant or two or more extractant solution.In order to obtain the fractional extraction thing as early as possible, can be on same equipment fractional extraction sequentially.And prior art needs the substep distilation steps, and not only expense is high and time-consuming for it, and needs a variety of equipment, and therefore the amount of investment that needs is very big.The present invention then make manufacturer can be in same place, same equipment, use and compare the less time than prior art and carry out a series of extraction and rectifying.
Extracting the required exposure time of described grease generally changes with plant or other biological material difference.Typical case's time is between about 10 to 100 seconds.The water content difference of raw material, exposure time also should be different.The raw material water content should be between 25% to 90%.This extracting process can be applicable to be produced in batches and produces continuously.
Product can reclaim from extractant (after the residual solids plant material that sieve in week, filtration or centrifugation goes out) with suitable known recovery technology, separates later extractant and can recycle mutually, need not purifying once more.
The following describes the example that some utilize microwave-induced extraction method of the present invention.Wherein, all improve for the body of gland and the skeleton of the various different materials that break with this paper unique mode.These comprise with the conventional extraction processes comparison, the quality of productive rate, extract for example, the reduction of induction time and producing cost, expense of raw materials reduces owing to having reduced the processing expense of raw materials, reduce operating procedure, reduce the damage of caused by operations, also have some comprehensive improvement people and equipment.

Fig. 1 shows equipment used in the present invention.The holder 10 that tool inlet 11 and inlet 12 are wherein arranged, wherein entering the mouth 11 is used to add biological raw material and enters the mouth and 12 be used to add above-mentioned solvent, and solvent can be stored in the solvent reservoir 13.Valve 14 control solvents are to holding vessel 10 feed.The mixture of solvent and biological raw material stirs with agitator 15.Pump 16 passes microwave high-frequency heating electrode 17 with the solvent and the plant material conveying that mix, and the typical calibration power of this microwave high-frequency heating electrode is 200 to 10,000 watts, and typical operating frequency is 800 to 30,000MHz.Pump 18 is sent into raw material and the solvent handled in the filter 19.Also microwave source can be contained in the feeder sleeve and with it and be enclosed in the feeder sleeve.So just can use metal tube (as steel pipe), only need the fixed cover of strengthening simultaneously.After microwave acts directly on the raw material,, cell rupture goes cooling in the extractant thereby being released into grease or other materials.The various piece that is appreciated that this equipment is connected with suitable pipeline, and these pipelines can be polyfluortetraethylene pipes, the pipe that glass tube and other suitable material well known to those skilled in the art are made.Be typically, the described diameter that is used to connect the pipeline of this system's each several part is about 1 to about 10cm, it is desirable to be about 2 to 5cm.
The invention still further relates to a kind of extraction equipment of being made up of a plurality of microwave high-frequencies heating electrodes, its described microwave high-frequency heating electrode is installed with following a kind of form, (a) be installed in series, and b) parallel installation, or (a) and (b) combination installation;
Act on each microwave high-frequency heating electrode of diameter for mixture mobile in about pipeline of 1 to 10cm;
The device of mixed extractant and pending material; With
This mixture is supplied with the device of each pipeline.
In a kind of form of the present invention, equipment comprises a plurality of microwave high-frequency heating electrodes 17, and each electrode is control separately all.Applicator 17 can in series be installed between pump 16 and 18, perhaps install in parallel to each other, or further both combines.Like this, a large amount of materials of each holding vessel 10 can be handled simultaneously, or a charging reprocessing.
In addition, the invention still further relates to a kind of equipment that is used for extracting volatile oil and other material, comprising from biological raw material:
The microwave dielectric heating electrode of a plurality of arranged in series;
Borrow little cross section container or pipeline that biological material and extractant mixture are carried the feeding device that passes described a plurality of microwave high-frequency heating electrodes; With
The EGR of the biological material after recycling described extractant and handling.
Being installed in series of the described applicator 17 that specially refers to, it has many benefits.If the material of preparing to be extracted is contained in the different compartments, as the capsule bag, cell, subcellular structure, and these spaces are surrounded by different structure, its effect as " wall " that build up, these spaces need continuous series to handle like this and just can be extracted into required material just like the chorista of different media, film or other different densities, thickness or swelliong power.Comprise in the water in the aforesaid various example or protein (meat) in adipose capsule, and the content in the plant chlorophyll vacuole.
About the control respectively of the described applicator 17 that is installed in series, can adopt short time difference irradiation so that the space structure of selecting destroys, extract the material of selection whereby.This is with using 17 radiation treatment differences of single applicator, because a radiation treatment needs the long time of staying, and carries out long irradiation and just can obtain the similar rate of recovery, and with lower selectivity.Shown among the embodiment as favourable installation arrangement described herein, with the microwave extractant and have the plant material mixture pumping of the vacuole of two or more type pass narrow tube (as, 2 to 5cm diameters), by three microwave high-frequency heating electrodes 17, sequentially carry out the short time (as 3~6 seconds) irradiation for 17 times at each electrode, compare with same mixture exposure time under single electrode, desirable in the former end product " A " component concentrations is higher.The irradiation of identical time will cause the rate of recovery low, and have different extracted components.If exposure time extended to obtain the identical rate of recovery that produces with irradiation repeatedly, it extracts component can be different greatly, and usually undesirable.This selectivity can not obtain from other method, even it is also not all right to use centrifugation apparatus simultaneously.Those of ordinary skills are that any suitable sample extraction device can be inserted in each microwave high-frequency heating electrode 17 described equipment afterwards happyly, increase selectivity, or remove those too much reluctant components effectively, thereby make these components can be owing to excessive microwave irradiation is degraded.
In the parallel installation about applicator 17, as seen its advantage for example is, make material to be processed to select flow rate to pass to be installed in little directly each applicator of (parallel installation in large quantities) in conduit, and there is the suitable time of staying, under even temperature, extract, this ability that obtains desirable productive rate is direct advantage, this parallel installation of little pipeline has avoided reducing the appearance of effect factor, for example, when handling once big capacity, the hot-spot of material or shortage of heat can produce artifact or reduce productive rate.
The another kind of advantage of a kind of installation of back comprises reducing produces and running cost, has reduced complexity of plant design or the like.In addition, this installation provide a kind of operation that can directly measure (as, if 10 applicators are installed by system, then can increase production 10%), and provide a kind of equipment that in this operating process, can be safeguarded.
With reference to aforementioned, by series connection and the parallel installation microwave high-frequency heating advantage that electrode brought, to connect and the use that mutually combines of the parallel installation high frequency generating utmost point, can have extra effect, promptly in an arranged parallel assembly, each assembly can comprise the series connection applicator with overall merit.
Let us returns described basic equipment aspect and comes, and a plurality of filters are installed in the filter, available in these filters also can be without drier, and these filter effects are identical.So just can guarantee under the situation of closing device not, from each filter, to dispose the biosolids residue termly.
Solvent that filters out from filter 19 and grease are transported to separator 21 with pump 20, perhaps through valve 51 and 52 and pipeline 50 be recycled in the microwave high-frequency heating electrode 17 with further processing.With gasifying solvent, heating is by temperature controller 23 controls by external heater 22 heating for separator 21.Material residual in separator 21 excludes from exporting 24 termly by by-pass valve control 25.
