The method of DHA and EPA in fish oil concentrated
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological pharmacy technical field, particularly relate to a kind of method of DHA and EPA in fish oil concentrated.
Background technology
The application of bathypelagic fish oil widely, can be applicable to the fields such as health care, medicine, food, chemical industry and feedstuff.In bathypelagic fish oil, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3PUFA) has important biological significance in human body, its characteristic fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EicosapentaenoicAcid, and docosahexenoic acid (DocosahexaenoicAcid EPA), DHA) clearly, EPA has prevention coronary heart disease, blood pressure lowering, allaying tiredness to physiologically active, prevention of arterial is atherosis and cerebral thrombosis, the physiologically active such as anticancer;Human brain health-nutrition (if being obviously promoted the intelligent development of baby, improving cerebral function, improve memory), raising immunity, alzheimer's disease treatment field are played an important role by DHA.But at present in the fish oil of market, DHA content is generally at 20%-35%, and EPA content is generally at 5%-35%.Such low content not only can not meet health care demand, and cannot realize its good medical value, therefore, if well to play DHA and EPA function, it is necessary to DHA and the EPA in fish oil is further concentrated.
But the polyenoic fatty acid in bathypelagic fish oil, it is belong to heat and chemically unstable material including EPA and DHA, it is isolated purification and difficulty thereof, at present, the separating and purifying technology of DHA and EPA is mainly had following several: 1. urea adduct method, mainly utilize urea molecule can form stable crystal clathrate with linear saturated fatty acids or monounsaturated fatty acid in crystallization process to precipitate out, thus obtaining highly purified DHA and EPA mixed product, its shortcoming is response time length, product yield is low, be difficult to divide out DHA and EPA, residual urea is serious;2. low-temperature solvent crystallization process, mainly utilizes the difference of different fatty acid (salt) dissolubility in organic solvent under low temperature to separate purification.Its shortcoming is to need response time length, reclaim a large amount of organic solvent, and separation efficiency is not high;3. lipase concentration method, carries out selective hydrolysis to the triglyceride containing DHA/EPA, final enrichment polyvalent unsaturated fatty acid triglyceride, and its shortcoming is response time length, enrichment DHA and EPA melting concn is more than 60% still comparatively difficulty;4. adsorption method of separation, utilizes the fatty acid of the different saturation partition coefficient on adsorbent (such as silver ion) different and separates.Its shortcoming is the easy polluted product of eluant and to separate scale less;5. molecularly distilled, utilizes the difference of component of mixture molecular free path to be separated.Its shortcoming is to need high-vacuum apparatus, and temperature is high, and energy consumption is high;6. supercritical CO2Extraction, utilizes extractant CO2Excellent solvent character is had when uniform temperature and certain pressure, its advantage is the pigment, stink substance such as aldehydes, ketone and a portion free fatty etc. that are not only able to extract in fish oil, avoid the loaded down with trivial details techniques such as tradition deacidification, decolouring, degumming, deodorize, and can accepting in scope removal monounsaturated fatty acid, satisfied fatty acid, thus separating concentration DHA and EPA, its concentration time is short, it is simple and easy to operate, cost is low, do not have dissolvent residual simultaneously.
Adopt supercritical CO in recent years2Extracting rectifying extracts high-purity EPA-EE, DHA-EE at home and abroad attracts great attention; but EPA and DHA is the mixture preparing into both in prior art; owing to EPA and DHA is as incomplete same in both respective functions above-mentioned; EPA is better than DHA in the effect of preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, aspect of inflammation; but promoting nervous function; prevention senile dementia; protection vision aspect is that EPA does not possess; and EPA is not suitable for baby clothes use, cause that the application of fish oil is subject to certain restrictions.In published document, also there is trial by EPA and DHA separate collection, but need to by urea clathration technology in its separation process, and thus result in the complex process collecting EPA and DHA respectively, cost is high, the problem that purity is relatively low.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a kind of method of DHA and EPA in fish oil concentrated.To solve to collect respectively the complex process of EPA and DHA, cost is high, the problem that purity is relatively low.
In order to realize foregoing invention purpose, one aspect of the present invention, it is provided that a kind of method of DHA and EPA in fish oil concentrated.The method of DHA and EPA in described fish oil concentrated, comprises the following steps:
By raw material fish oil through supercritical CO2Extraction processes, rectification process, and separating treatment collects oils and fats;Wherein, described supercritical CO2The Stress control extracted is 10MPa-25MPa;The rectification Stress control of described rectification process is 9MPa-13Mpa;The time of described rectification is 0.5h-3h;Then
By described supercritical CO2The pressure extracted adjusts to 10MPa-25MPa;It is 12MPa-15Mpa by the rectification Stress control of described rectification process;The rectification time is 0.5h-3h, and separating treatment collects concentration EPA;Again
By described supercritical CO2The pressure extracted adjusts to 10MPa-25MPa;It is 14MPa-17Mpa by the rectification Stress control of described rectification process;The rectification time is 0.5h-2h, and separating treatment collects concentration DHA.
Wherein, described supercritical CO2The temperature that extraction processes is 32 DEG C-52 DEG C.
Compared with prior art, in fish oil concentrated of the present invention, the method for DHA and EPA is by the adjustment of temperature, pressure, first most satisfied fatty acid, monounsaturated fatty acid in fish oil is removed, then DHA and EPA in fish oil is collected respectively, and their content improves with the raising of raw material fish oil concentration respectively, and wherein DHA content can be 4-5 times of raw material fish oil, is up to more than 85%, EPA content can be 2-3 times of raw material fish oil, reaches as high as more than 65%.It is simple and easy and easily-controllable that this crosses the inventive method technique, reaches concentrated effect within a short period of time, and efficiency is high, and DHA and the EPA of concentration is relatively stable, and producing for high concentration DHA and EPA industrialization provides technical support, and no solvent residue, safety.
