Embodiments II
As mentioned above, although the conversion rate of enzymatic catalytic epoxidation is high, a hydrolysis side reaction exists in the reaction process, and the oxidative source hydrogen peroxide used in the reaction process has great damage to the enzyme activity, a solvent needs to be added in the reaction process to reduce the hydrolysis rate and reduce the damage to the enzyme, but the addition of the solvent makes the later process flow complicated, which is not favorable for the separation of the later product, toluene is used as a commonly used enzymatic epoxidation solvent, the reaction addition amount is large, the reaction system is complicated and toxic and harmful, and the later separation step is complicated and is not favorable for the further utilization of the product. In view of this, the present inventors have studied a process for preparing an epoxy vegetable oil.
The inventors have found that "ideal" solvents in biocatalysis must meet a large number of requirements, such as high substrate solubility, high enzymatic activity and stability and a positive influence on the reaction balance. Over the past few decades, many enzymatic synthetic routes have been developed in aqueous-based and non-aqueous (organic solvent, ionic or supercritical fluid) reaction media. Ionic Liquids (ILS) have gained tremendous attention as reaction media. However, their technical applicability and "greenness" tend to be limited, mainly due to high cost, poor biodegradability, poor biocompatibility and low sustainability. Among the different biocatalytic reactions, the Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) was evaluated as the most promising green solvent.
The Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) is the prototype of the desired solvent, has versatility and biodegradability, has excellent solubilizing properties for acute and even opposite compounds, and is enzyme friendly. The deep eutectic solvent formed by choline chloride and urea is green and environment-friendly, low in cost, mature in research, still liquid at room temperature, and clear and transparent in solution.
Carbamide peroxide (UHP) has the ability to slowly release hydrogen peroxide, is less harmful to enzymes, and has the advantage of producing harmless by-products.
The inventor further researches and discovers that the deep eutectic solvent prepared by carbamide peroxide and choline chloride can provide an oxidation source and also play a role as a solvent in an epoxidation system of vegetable oil. The deep eutectic solvent is used as a substrate and a solvent simultaneously in the whole reaction system to participate in the whole reaction. So that the epoxidation reaction of the vegetable oil is carried out almost under solvent-free conditions. The reaction condition is mild, almost no by-product is formed, the product after the reaction is finished is obviously layered through centrifugal treatment, the product is easy to separate, the whole reaction process is green and pollution-free, and the cost is low. The present invention has been completed based on the above findings.
The traditional method for synthesizing bio-based epoxy vegetable oil by enzyme method is to mix vegetable oil with catalyst (such as Novozym 435) and free fatty acid, add hydrogen peroxide, mix, heat and stir, and perform epoxidation reaction. The main substances in the vegetable oil are triglyceride, unsaturated fatty acid, etc. The epoxidation principle of vegetable oil is as follows: the oxidation source reacts with unsaturated fatty acid in vegetable oil under the catalysis of biological enzyme to generate peroxy fatty acid, namely double bond is epoxidized. The resulting peroxyfatty acid reacts with the triglycerides in the vegetable oil and the resulting mixture contains epoxidized triglycerides, along with small amounts of epoxidized free fatty acids, by addition of free fatty acids (see figure 2).
In the process of the vegetable oil epoxidation reaction, the free fatty acid is added to have the following functions: the epoxidation of vegetable oils results in products which are not only epoxidized triglycerides but also epoxidized mono-and diglycerides (see fig. 1), it is almost impossible to separate these mono-and diglycerides from the reaction mixture, the addition of free fatty acids causes all hydroxyl groups to be immediately re-esterified with excess free fatty acids, whereby the end product only leaves epoxidized triglycerides (see fig. 2).
In the present invention, the double bond conversion means the double bond epoxidation conversion, as will be understood from the above.
The method for synthesizing the bio-based epoxy vegetable oil by the enzyme method in the deep eutectic solvent can be understood as a method for synthesizing the bio-based epoxy vegetable oil by the enzyme method by utilizing the deep eutectic solvent, and comprises the following steps:
b, mixing an oxidation source and choline chloride, heating and stirring to prepare a deep eutectic solvent;
step C, mixing vegetable oil with a catalyst and free fatty acid, adding the deep eutectic solvent prepared in the step B, mixing, heating and stirring, and carrying out an epoxidation reaction to obtain an epoxidation reaction crude product;
and D, carrying out centrifugal treatment on the crude product of the epoxidation reaction to obtain a finished product of the epoxy vegetable oil.
In the preparation of the deep eutectic solvent, the molar ratio of the oxidation source to the choline chloride is (1-3):1, more preferably (1-2):1, and still more preferably 2: 1.
In the step B, the temperature for preparing the deep eutectic solvent is 60-80 ℃, preferably 70-80 ℃, and more preferably 80 ℃; the rotation speed of the stirring is 300rpm or more, preferably 500rpm or more.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in step B above, the oxidizing source is mixed with the two solids choline chloride, and heated and stirred until a clear solution state is formed, i.e. a deep eutectic solvent is formed, which takes about 10-20min, preferably 10-15 min. This is understood to mean the time required for the oxidizing source to be mixed with the two solids choline chloride, heated and stirred until a clear solution is formed.
In the conventional epoxidation reaction, hydrogen peroxide is generally used as an oxidation source, but hydrogen peroxide solution is harmful to the activity of the biocatalyst, so that the present inventors consider adopting other oxidation sources instead of the hydrogen peroxide solution, and therefore, the oxidation source in the present invention is characterized in that it can continuously and slowly release hydrogen peroxide in the reaction.
The inventor of the invention considers that three problems mainly exist in the process of plant oil oxidation: firstly, the unsaturated fatty acid content in the vegetable oil is high, the amount of hydrogen peroxide required for oxidizing double bonds is high, and the hydrogen peroxide has great damage to the enzyme activity, so that the maintenance of the enzyme activity is important; secondly, the generation of side reaction, namely the hydrolysis of triglyceride is reduced, and the yield of the final product is influenced; and thirdly, after the reaction is finished, the product is separated and the later reaction is recovered, and the whole process needs to be green and environment-friendly.
The synthesis of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) generally involves the mixing of quaternary ammonium salts with alcohols, amides, carboxylic acids and polyols as Hydrogen Bond Donors (HBDs), and the DES produced thereby is referred to as natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) when both the Hydrogen Bond Acceptor (HBA) and the hydrogen bond donor HBD are naturally occurring primary metabolites (i.e., amino acids, choline, sugars, alcohols or amino acids and organic acids). The superior properties of DESs compared to volatile organic solvents and ILS have prompted their use in a range of biochemical applications.
UHP (Urea-Hydrogen peroxide Complex, molecular formula is CO (NH)2)2.H2O2) White crystal with melting point of 90-93 deg.c, and is easy to dissolve in water, ethanol, glycol, dichloromethane and other organic solvent. The urea hydrogen peroxide complex (UHP) is a complex resulting from strong hydrogen bonding between urea and hydrogen peroxide. It converts unstable hydrogen peroxide into solid which is easy to operate, safe and stable at room temperature, and has low price. UHP exhibits different oxidation capacities in different solvents and catalysts and is an important oxidizing agent in organic synthesis.
UHP has the properties of hydrogen peroxide, is commonly used for epoxidation of double bonds, and has a high regio-and stereoselectivity as well as a high conversion.
Based on the above description, carbamide peroxide is preferred as an oxidation source to synthesize a green and pollution-free deep eutectic solvent with choline chloride in the invention.
As described above, the inventors of the present invention have found that the deep eutectic solvent is used as a substrate and a solvent for a reaction in an epoxidation reaction of vegetable oil, and is a green, environmentally friendly and promising solvent.

So that the whole reaction system is reacted under the condition of almost no solvent. Therefore, in the invention, the solvent is a deep eutectic solvent synthesized by carbamide peroxide and choline chloride, and the deep eutectic solvent synthesized by carbamide peroxide and choline chloride is used in the oxidation reaction of the vegetable oil, so that the whole system forms a dual-function system, and the deep eutectic solvent serves as a reaction solvent and a reaction substrate in the reaction.
Therefore, the invention uses the green and environment-friendly deep eutectic solvent, and the deep eutectic solvent is synthesized by carbamide peroxide and choline chloride through heating and stirring, wherein the carbamide peroxide slowly releases hydrogen peroxide in the reaction process, and the damage to the enzyme activity is greatly reduced; the deep eutectic solvent can stabilize enzyme activity and reduce side reactions of a reaction system, before reaction, the deep eutectic solvent is a solvent formed by carbamide peroxide and choline chloride, and in the reaction process, the deep eutectic solvent is a deep eutectic solvent synthesized by carbamide and choline chloride; the deep eutectic solvent is easy to dissolve in water, the oil layer and the solvent layer are obviously layered through centrifugal treatment after the reaction is finished, and the product is easy to separate.
In the invention, no hydrogen peroxide solution is added in the reaction process, the oxidation source is provided by carbamide peroxide, the adding amount of the deep eutectic solvent is calculated according to the molar ratio of double bonds of the vegetable oil to the hydrogen peroxide, and then the adding amount of the deep eutectic solvent is calculated according to the molar ratio of the carbamide peroxide to the choline chloride. For example, in some instances, the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide in the carbamide peroxide to the double bonds contained in the vegetable oil is (0.5-3):1, preferably (0.5-1): 1.
According to the method of the invention, in step C, the stirring speed is above 300rpm, preferably above 500rpm, and the temperature is 40-70 ℃, preferably 50-60 ℃; the epoxidation reaction time is 12-24h, preferably 16-20h, more preferably 16 h.

It is easily understood that the free fatty acid plays a role of mediating the vegetable oil epoxidation reaction in the epoxidation reaction of step C, and the amount of the free fatty acid added is 1% to 10%, preferably 5% to 10%, and more preferably 5% of the molar mass of the double bonds contained in the vegetable oil.
In the invention, the free fatty acid comprises one or more of oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, preferably oleic acid or a mixture of oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, and the mass ratio of the oleic acid to the linoleic acid to the linolenic acid in the mixture of the oleic acid, the linoleic acid and the linolenic acid is (1-2): (1-5), preferably 2:2: 5.
