In order to achieve the technical purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:

(1) The preparation method comprises the following steps of (1) crushing dry rosemary leaves to 60-100 meshes, putting the crushed dry rosemary leaves into an infiltration tank, adding a mixed solvent, infiltrating and stirring to obtain a mixture, wherein the mixed solvent is as follows: food grade ethanol, food grade ethyl acetate, food grade 1, 2-dichloroethane and food grade acetone, wherein the volume ratio of the ethanol to the ethyl acetate is (2-5): 1 to 5:1 to 5:1 to 5;

Preferably, in step (2), the continuous dynamic countercurrent extraction unit: extraction processing amount: 50-200 kg/h; extraction temperature: 40 to 55 ℃; extraction time: the whole process lasts for 2-3 h; the solid-liquid ratio of the dry rosemary leaves in the mixture to the mixed solvent is 1 kg/4-6L.
The working principle of the continuous dynamic countercurrent extraction unit is as follows:
the formula of leaching and diffusing components is as follows: g = [ < D >. Times > F × (C1-C2) × (t ]/[ delta ]/]
Wherein G is a diffusion substance, t is diffusion time, F is a diffusion surface and represents the granularity and the surface state of the rosemary leaves, (C1-C2) is concentration difference, D is a diffusion coefficient, delta is the thickness of a diffusion layer of the rosemary leaves, and the minus sign represents the reduction of the concentration when the diffusion is towards equilibrium, so that the value of D is in direct proportion to the crushing degree, the surface state, the concentration difference in the diffusion process, the diffusion time and the diffusion coefficient of the rosemary leaves, if C1= C2, C1-C2=0, the concentration and difference are equal to zero, namely, the rosemary leaves are in a saturated state, all other conditions lose effects, the time is longer, the temperature is higher, and the leaching components are equal to zero. The rosemary leaves are crushed into powder of 60-100 meshes, the powder is uniformly fed into one end of a continuous dynamic countercurrent extraction unit through a quantitative feeder, the powder is slowly pushed to the other end of the unit through a conveying device with a spiral blade, the powder is automatically discharged according to a certain time required by the process, and a solvent is quantitatively controlled and added from one end of the unit through a flow meter according to the process requirement, so that the directions of the rosemary leaf powder and the solvent are completely opposite. In operation, the rosemary leaf powder is continuously stirred forward under the action of the propeller to replace and rub with the solvent, and the diffused interface is continuously updated, so that the maximum concentration difference is obtained in the whole extraction process, the extraction time is shortened, and the yield of the leaching components is improved.
The working process of the continuous dynamic countercurrent extraction unit is as follows:
the rosemary leaf powder is fed into a feeding port of a continuous dynamic countercurrent extraction unit through a quantitative feeder, the rosemary leaf powder is pushed towards a discharging device under the action of a spiral propeller in a tank body, then slag is discharged from the discharging device and enters a juice squeezer for treatment, and then waste recovery solvent treatment is carried out. And the mixed solvent is quantitatively added from a solvent inlet according to the solid-to-liquid ratio required by the rosemary leaf powder by a flowmeter. The two directions are opposite. The extracting solution (containing slag) is pumped into a drum type filter through an infusion pump for filtering, the filtered slag enters a discharging device part at the front end of the unit and is discharged by the discharging device, and the filtered extracting solution flows into a finished product storage tank and is conveyed to the lower process by a secondary infusion pump.
Preferably, in the step (3), when the recovered mixed solvent is 50% to 80% of the total amount of the mixed solvent added in the steps (1) and (2) in vacuum concentration, the ratio of the volume of the distilled water to the volume of the filtrate is 0.5 to 0.8:1 distilled water was added to continue recovering the remaining mixed solvent.
Preferably, in the step (4), the solid-to-liquid ratio of the crude rosemary extract to food-grade n-hexane is 1kg/7 to 10L.
Preferably, in the step (5), the solid-to-liquid ratio of the rosemary extract essence to the edible salad oil and the distilled water is 1 kg/2-5L/1-3L.
Preferably, in the step (5), the membrane distillation specifically comprises the following steps: distilling by using a vacuum membrane, adopting three-stage separation, wherein the treatment capacity of the first-stage distillation is 100-200L/h, the porosity of the membrane is 60-85%, the average pore diameter of the membrane is 0.1-0.5 mu m, the distillation temperature is 60-80 ℃, and the distillation vacuum degree is 20-50 Pa; the secondary distillation treatment capacity is 100-200L/h, the porosity of the membrane is 60-85%, the average pore diameter of the membrane is 0.1-0.5 mu m, the distillation temperature is 80-90 ℃, and the distillation vacuum degree is 30-50 Pa; the secondary distillation treatment capacity is 100-120L/h, the porosity of the membrane is 60-85%, the average pore diameter of the membrane is 0.1-0.5 mu m, the distillation temperature is 85-95 ℃, and the distillation vacuum degree is 35-50 Pa.
The working principle of the membrane distillation adopted by the invention is as follows:
the principle of membrane distillation is a separation process combining membrane technology with a distillation process. One side of the membrane is directly contacted with a hot solution to be treated (called a hot side), the other side of the membrane is directly or indirectly contacted with a cold solution (called a cold side), volatile components in the solution at the hot side are vaporized at the membrane surface, pass through the membrane, enter the cold side and are condensed into a liquid phase, and other components are blocked at the hot side by a hydrophobic membrane, so that the aim of separating or purifying the mixture is fulfilled. The membrane distillation process must have the following characteristics to distinguish it from other membrane processes: (1) the film used is a microporous film; (2) the membrane is not wettable by the liquid being treated; (3) no capillary condensation occurs in the membrane pores; (4) only steam can transfer mass through the membrane pores; (5) the used membrane can not change the gas-liquid balance of all components in the treated liquid; (6) at least one side of the membrane is in contact with the liquid to be treated; (7) the driving force for the membrane process for any component is the partial pressure difference of that component in the gas phase.
The rosemary extract and the sunflower seed oil are nonvolatile substances, the distillate is water, a small amount of solvent residue and rosemary essential oil components, and the three-stage vacuum membrane distillation is adopted to complete the process.
The rosemary extract is dissolved in the salad oil and contains 1 to 2 percent of solvent and rosemary essential oil, and after membrane distillation, the residual amount of the solvent in the product is less than or equal to 10ppm, thereby meeting the quality requirement.
Preferably, the extraction rate of the active ingredients of the rosemary extract obtained after the treatment of the dry leaves of the rosemary is more than or equal to 99.50 percent, and the solvent residue is less than or equal to 10ppm.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) Compared with the traditional extraction process, the extraction rate of the effective components of the rosemary leaves is improved by about 10-20%, the extraction process is uniform in heating and can be leached at low temperature, and the thermosensitive components are kept from being damaged; the product quality is stable, the equipment continuously works, and the defect of difference among batches is overcome; the extraction rate of the effective components of the rosemary extract obtained after the treatment of the dry leaves of the rosemary is more than or equal to 99.50 percent, and the solvent residue is less than or equal to 10ppm.
(2) The liquid outlet coefficient of the extraction process is small (generally controlled between 5 and 8 times), while the liquid outlet coefficient of the traditional extraction process is large (generally controlled between 18 and 30 times), so that the steam consumption and the solvent recovery loss required by heating the solvent in excess times are saved; meanwhile, the concentration time and the steam consumption of the subsequent process (evaporation equipment) can be greatly reduced, and the utilization rate of the evaporation equipment is improved.
