Embodiment
The inventor has developed the novel process of utilizing carbon dioxide upercritical fluid extraction technology separation and Extraction lipid acid from microporous grass seed through extensive and deep research, has finished the present invention on this basis.
As used herein, term " polyene unsaturated fatty acid " refers to trienic acid or the above unsaturated fatty acids of trienic acid.
Supercritical extraction (SFE) technology is a kind of novel separation and extraction technology, has at low temperatures to extract, do not have dissolvent residual and advantage that can selective separation.Supercutical fluid (Supercritical Fluid SF) is to be in critical temperature (Tc) and more than the emergent pressure (Pc), the fluid between gas and liquid.This fluid has the dual nature of gas and liquid simultaneously: its density and liquid are close, and viscosity and gas are close, and its spreading coefficient is bigger approximately 100 times than liquid.Owing to comprise intermolecular interaction and diffusion in the dissolution process, thereby supercutical fluid has very strong dissolving power to many materials.
CO
2Supercritical extraction has the characteristics of selective dissolution.Under supercritical state, CO
2Dissolving power difference to different solutes is very big, and this polarity, boiling point, molecular weight and density with solute is relevant.Near stagnation point, obviously influence all takes place to physical propertiess such as the viscosity of supercutical fluid, density in the subtle change of temperature and pressure.Work as homo(io)thermism, change extracting pressure, will inevitably influence the dissolving power of supercutical fluid consumingly various compositions.From emergent pressure, intensified pressure progressively, because the supercutical fluid different in kind of each pressure gradient, thereby also different to the dissolving power of solute, be extracted out successively according to the polarity size that is extracted composition, boiling point height and the big I of molecular weight.For a certain composition in the extract, when extracting pressure reaches a certain threshold value, the pressure that raises again, its solubleness no longer increases.
The technology of carbon dioxide supercritical extraction method of the present invention separation and Extraction lipid acid from microporous grass seed may further comprise the steps:
(1) extraction step
In this step, microporous grass seed is mixed with supercritical co, thereby make the lipid acid in the microporous grass seed be dissolved in carbonic acid gas.
For this step, extraction temperature and extracting pressure are vital.Usually, extraction temperature is 35-60 ℃, preferably is 40-55 ℃, more preferably is 45-50 ℃.Extracting pressure is 20-40Mpa, preferably is 25-30Mpa, more preferably is 28-30Mpa.
(2) separating step
In this step, change the described pressure that is dissolved with the carbon dioxide of lipid acid, lipid acid is separated out from described carbon dioxide.The lipid acid of separating out taken out from separator can obtain fatty acid product.
For this step, separation temperature and separating pressure are vital.Usually, separation temperature corresponds to extraction temperature, is 35-60 ℃, preferably is 40-55, more preferably is 45-50 ℃.Separating pressure is 1-5Mpa, preferably is 1-4Mpa, more preferably is 1-3Mpa.
Whole extractive reaction (comprise extraction and the separate) time, be extracted substantially with lipid acid in the seed and get final product.Usually the extraction time is 4-24 hour or longer, preferably is 6-12 hour, more preferably is 8-10 hour.
In preference of the present invention, particularly preferred extraction process condition is: (1) extracts and separation temperature: 45-50 ℃; (2) extracting pressure: 28-30Mpa; (3) abstraction reaction time: 8-10 hour.
Of the present invention from microporous grass seed the technology of separation and Extraction lipid acid, can carry out continuously, also can carry out by intermittent type.
The present invention also provides and has been used for the equipment of carbon dioxide supercritical extraction method from microporous grass seed separation and Extraction lipid acid, and it comprises:
(a) extractor, described extractor have carbon dioxide inlet, microporous grass seed feed(raw material)inlet and carbonic acid gas outlet;
(b) carbon dioxide source, described carbon dioxide source links to each other with the carbon dioxide inlet of extractor, and the carbon dioxide of certain pressure is provided;
(c) reextraction jar, described reextraction jar has carbon dioxide inlet, microporous grass seed oil export and carbonic acid gas outlet, the carbon dioxide inlet of the described jar of stripping links to each other by pipeline with the carbonic acid gas outlet of extractor, and on described pipeline a valve is arranged.
A kind ofly be used for carbon dioxide supercritical extraction method as shown in Figure 1 from the particularly preferred equipment of microporous grass seed separation and Extraction lipid acid.It comprises following assembly: 1-CO
2Steel cylinder; 2-compressor and pressure control system; 3-1 is a stopping valve; 4-interchanger (assembly 1-4 constitutes carbon dioxide source); 5-extractor (being extractor); 6-1 and 6-2 are micrometering valve; 7-separator (jar of promptly stripping); The 8-spinner-type flowmeter; The 9-wet flow indicator.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 1, technological process of the present invention is described:
Be placed in the extractor 5 through the microporous grass seed of pulverizing.Close micrometering valve and stopping valve, open the thermostatic bath switch.When the temperature indication of thermostatic bath reaches preset value, open CO
2Steel cylinder, CO
2Enter compressor, open valve 3-1 simultaneously, CO
2Enter extractor.Open compressor, when the pressure for the treatment of extractor 5 reached predetermined extracting pressure value, open valve 6-1 slowly was dissolved with the CO of microporous grass seed oil
2Enter separator, because decompression makes oil from CO
2Separate out, make reach predetermined separating pressure in the separator 7 after, slowly open valve 6-2 makes CO
2By spinner-type flowmeter and wet flow indicator emptying (CO on the industrial production
2Can be recycled).Spinner-type flowmeter shows instantaneous delivery, and wet flow indicator shows CO
2Integrated flow.
In a preferable example, the pressure of extractor 5 maintains preset value all the time after reaching predetermined extracting pressure value, be dissolved with the CO of microporous grass seed oil simultaneously
2Enter separator 7, and the separating pressure in the separator 7 also maintains preset value all the time, thereby obtain running balance.Like this, be dissolved with the CO of microporous grass seed oil
2Just enter separator continuously, and in separator, separate out and separate.
Through certain reaction times, when not having product to separate out in the separator, extraction is finished.Close compressor and CO
2The steel cylinder valve, the CO of device to be separated
2When pressure is shown as zero, unload extractor, open the extractor lid and take out extracted residues, and take out the product in the separator.The new raw material of packing in extractor carries out the extraction of a new round.
The major advantage of technology of the present invention is:
(1) supercritical co has unique extraction effect to comprising the microporous grass seed grease.Because carbonic acid gas itself is nontoxic, and critical temperature is near normal temperature, so can make product exempt from the influence of unfavorable factors such as being heated.Therefore, the micropore grass effective constituent with supercritical carbon dioxide extraction has wide application prospect in the production of food and healthcare products etc.
(2) lipid acid that extracts in the micropore grass with the carbon dioxide upercritical fluid extraction technology can prevent effectively that polyene unsaturated fatty acid wherein is oxidized, therefore polyene unsaturated fatty acid content height in the microula oil that extracts.With technology of the present invention can separation and Extraction contain polyene unsaturated fatty acid (unsaturated fatty acids that trienic acid is above comprises trienic acid) up to the microporous grass seed oil more than 30%.
(3) extraction efficiency height, product yield are about 26%.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, further set forth the present invention.Should be understood that these embodiment only to be used to the present invention is described and be not used in and limit the scope of the invention.
