Compared with the preparation process of extracting phytosterol from rice bran crude oil in the patent CN102898491, the obtained 4,4' -dimethyl sterol has high utilization rate and purity, and can be directly used in the fields of medicine, chemical industry and the like.
The method takes the shea butter as a raw material, and the concomitant components in the shea butter mainly comprise 4,4 '-dimethyl sterol, so that the method is favorable for separating and preparing the high-purity 4,4' -dimethyl sterol. The inventor replaces shea butter with rice oil, and the experimental result shows that the final product has more impurities (tocopherol, tocotrienol, polyphenol and the like), and the purity of the obtained 4,4' -dimethyl sterol is low. In addition, the shea butter has high saturated fat content and is solid at normal temperature, and because the melting point is higher, the residual saturated fatty acid salt in the saponification process is easier to remove in the subsequent physical separation process.
According to the invention, the potassium hydroxide ethanol solution is used for saponification treatment, the saponification temperature is 105 ℃, the saponification time is 1h, triglyceride and 4,4' -dimethyl sterol ester are respectively converted into free fatty acid and free 4,4' -dimethyl sterol, the problem that the 4,4' -dimethyl sterol ester is difficult to separate due to the fact that the physical properties are too close to triglyceride is avoided, the polarity difference of the triglyceride and the free 4,4' -dimethyl sterol ester is enhanced, and the separation and purification of the 4,4' -dimethyl sterol are facilitated.
According to the invention, a certain amount of solvent is added into the saponified oily liquid to extract 4,4 '-dimethyl sterol, and the inventor finds that excessive solvent is easy to cause waste and is not beneficial to subsequent desolventizing treatment, the energy consumption is increased in the solvent evaporation process, and the excessive solvent is easy to emulsify and coagulate in the water adding washing process, so that the 4,4' -dimethyl sterol cannot be effectively separated, and the ratio of the solvent to the shea butter raw material is preferably 4-10: 1, in mL/g.
Adding a solvent into the enriched 4,4 '-dimethyl sterol, heating to 60-85 ℃ for dissolving, and cooling and crystallizing for 8-16 h at 25-45 ℃ to obtain a pure 4,4' -dimethyl sterol product. The inventor finds that the dissolution temperature is too low, so that the enriched solvent is insufficient, and a small amount of solid still remains in the system; if the temperature of the solvent is too high, the solvent is easy to volatilize, and the subsequent crystallization separation is not facilitated, so that the preferable dissolving temperature is 60-85 ℃.
In summary, the invention selects the shea butter rich in 4,4' -dimethyl sterol as the raw material, and combines a chemical method and a physical method, wherein the chemical saponification reaction converts triglyceride and 4,4' -dimethyl sterol ester into free fatty acid and free 4,4' -dimethyl sterol respectively, so as to strengthen the polarity difference between the triglyceride and the 4,4' -dimethyl sterol, and avoid the technical difficulties of similar properties such as boiling point and solubility when directly separating the triglyceride and the 4,4' -dimethyl sterol ester from the shea butter. In addition, saponification is beneficial to the subsequent physical crystallization, separation and purification of 4,4 '-dimethyl sterol, and the 4,4' -dimethyl sterol crystal obtained by separation has the advantages of yield of 62.3%, purity of 95.6%, and high product yield and purity.
The method has high extraction efficiency, and is suitable for refined shea butter and shea butter with wide adaptability to the raw material shea butter, poor quality or longer storage time. In particular, the method can recycle the used solvent, fully utilizes resources, reduces production cost, is suitable for industrial production, and has great application potential.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and not for limiting, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should be covered by the claims of the present invention.
