Description

Production method and production system of psicose crystals
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry, and particularly relates to a production method and a production system of allulose crystals.
Background
With the improvement of living standard, people are increasingly concerned about the problems of food safety and the like, especially various functional additives. Allulose is a popular low-calorie sweetener in the food industry because it has a high sweetness and is not easily digested. In the field of medicine, psicose also has the effects of reducing in vivo fat accumulation, inhibiting the increase in blood glucose concentration, improving insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and the like. However, allulose is contained in a very small amount in nature, is difficult to meet market demands, and generally needs to be artificially synthesized.
Psicose belongs to hexulose, is a six-carbon sugar, and is an epimer corresponding to the third carbon of D-fructose. The synthetic method of the psicose comprises a chemical synthesis method and a biological enzyme method. The chemical synthesis method for producing the psicose has the following defects: chemical waste and byproducts are easy to form; the purification process is difficult; the operation is complex, and multiple protection and deprotection operations are required. Therefore, the chemical synthesis method is greatly restricted in practical production application. Compared with a chemical synthesis method, the enzymatic synthesis method for the psicose has great advantages: the process is more environment-friendly; the reaction condition is mild; the specificity is strong; the catalytic efficiency is high; the sustainability is strong. Therefore, biotransformation of psicose is the focus and focus of current research.
However, commercial psicose is basically a liquid product or a powdery solid product, when the psicose is at a high degree of supersaturation, crystals grow faster than crystals, fine crystals are easily generated, the solution viscosity is increased, and the growth of large crystals is not facilitated, if the psicose is subjected to multiple heating concentration and cooling crystallization processes, the production process is complex and is not easy to operate, and the granularity of the generated psicose crystals is small, so that the yield of the psicose crystals is only about 20-30%, and the production economy of the psicose crystal products is seriously affected.

Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an psicose crystal production system of the present embodiment, which is used for producing an psicose crystal product.
As shown in fig. 1, the allulose crystal preparation system of the present embodiment includes a tubular falling film crystallizer 2, a cooler 4, and a plate-type falling film crystallizer 1, which are connected in sequence.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the tube-type falling film crystallizer 1 is a crystallization apparatus with crystallization tubes as crystallization elements. The bottom of the tubular falling film crystallizer 2 is provided with a first feeding hole (not shown) and a first discharging hole (not shown), the upper part of the tubular falling film crystallizer 2 is provided with a first cooling and heating medium inlet (not shown), and the lower part of the tubular falling film crystallizer 2 is provided with a first cooling and heating medium outlet (not shown).
Referring to fig. 1, the first discharge hole is connected to the first feed hole through a first material circulation pipeline, and a circulation pump 10 is disposed on the first material circulation pipeline. The circulating pump is prior art and is not described in detail herein.
Specifically, the first discharge hole is communicated with the first feed inlet through the first material circulating pipeline, so that uncrystallized liquid in the material to be purified can be circulated and then sent into the tubular falling film crystallizer 2 for crystallization, and the yield of the psicose crystal product is further improved.
With reference to fig. 1, the first cooling and heating medium inlet is used to introduce cooling and heating media (cooling water may be used as the cooling medium, and heat transfer oil may be used as the heating medium) into the tubular falling film crystallizer 2, and the first cooling and heating medium outlet is used to discharge the cooling and heating media after heat exchange treatment from the tubular falling film crystallizer 2. The first cooling and heating medium outlet is communicated with the first cooling and heating medium inlet through a first cooling and heating medium circulation pipeline, and a circulation pump 10, a cooling medium cooler 13 and a heating medium heat exchanger 14 are arranged on the first cooling and heating medium circulation pipeline.

Example 7
As shown in fig. 7, the allulose crystal production system of the present embodiment further includes a solvent tank 15 and a condenser 16.
Referring to fig. 7, the solvent tank 15 is a storage container for a solvent such as ethanol, and the solvent tank 15 stores the solvent such as ethanol. The liquid outlet end of the solvent tank 15 is communicated with the bottom of the shell 101 through a pipeline, and the gas outlet 1010 is communicated with the liquid inlet end of the solvent tank 15 through a pipeline. By additionally arranging the solvent tank 15 and communicating the liquid outlet end of the solvent tank 15 with the bottom of the shell 101 through a pipeline, the solvents such as ethanol can be fed into the shell 101, so that the solvents such as ethanol can dissolve the non-crystallized liquid in the intermediate product, the flow rate of the non-crystallized liquid in the intermediate product is increased, the problem that effective circulation crystallization cannot be performed due to the fact that the viscosity of the non-crystallized liquid in the intermediate product is too high is solved, and the yield of the psicose crystal product is further increased.
With reference to fig. 7, the condenser 16 is used to cool the solvent, such as ethanol, discharged from the plate-type falling film crystallizer 1 and transformed into a gas state after being heated, so that the solvent, such as ethanol, is transformed into a liquid state after being cooled, and is pumped into the solvent tank 15 by the centrifugal pump 11, so as to recycle the solvent, such as ethanol. The condenser 16 may employ a water-cooled condenser, an air-cooled condenser, a water-air cooled condenser, or the like. Water cooled condensers, air cooled condensers and water-air cooled condensers are prior art and will not be described in detail herein. By additionally arranging the condenser 16, the solvents such as ethanol and the like can be recycled, the recycling rate of the solvents such as ethanol and the like is improved, the production cost is reduced, and the income is increased;
this embodiment is also different from embodiment 1 in that: pumping the absolute ethanol stored in the solvent tank 15 to a crystallization tank 1031 by using a centrifugal pump 11, dissolving the psicose by the absolute ethanol, and promoting the psicose which is difficult to fall and is remained on the wall surface of the crystallization tank 1031 to flow at a certain speed so as to crystallize, so that the yield of the psicose crystal product is further improved; in the sweating stage, due to the rise of the internal environment temperature of the casing 101, the absolute ethyl alcohol is volatilized into gas, is discharged from the gas outlet 1010, enters the condenser 16, is processed by the condenser 16, is converted into liquid absolute ethyl alcohol, and then flows into the solvent tank 15 through a pipeline.
It should be understood that, without being limited thereto, the crystallization plate may be provided with only the heat exchange chamber or the heat exchange slot, and not with both the heat exchange chamber and the heat exchange slot. The first feed inlet can also be arranged at the upper part of the tubular falling film crystallizer.
It should be noted that, in the non-application, the upper portion of the casing may be provided with a second cooling and heating medium inlet communicated with the heat exchange cavity, and the lower portion of the casing may be provided with a second cooling and heating medium outlet communicated with the heat exchange cavity.
