Definitions
- the invention is in the field of cosmetic oil bodies and relates to a process for the production of squalene by extraction of vegetable oil residues.
- Squalane (2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22-tetracosane) belongs to the group of acyclic triterpenes and is usually obtained by hydrogenation of squalene (2,6,10, 15,19,23-hexamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22-tetracoshexaene) and is used as a particularly non-polar oil body for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
- the unsaturated base i.e.
- squalene can be obtained synthetically, for example by reacting hexaphenyl-1,4-butanediyldiphosphonium dibromide with 6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-one, but the reaction is technical very complex. Squalene or squalane produced in this way is therefore very expensive, especially since the required degree of purity for commercial use can hardly be achieved.
- squalene or squalane such as shark liver oil or distillates, which are obtained from the extraction of vegetable oils, especially olive oil.
- marine squalane which can be obtained, for example, by extraction, is less suitable for cosmetic or pharmaceutical applications because, despite all deodorization measures, it generally has an unpleasant odor and contains undesirable impurities.
- the subject of the Spanish patent application ES 2011259 (Hispano Qufmica) is a similar process for the production of phytosqualan, in which the acidic pressing residue is freed from fatty acids by distillation and saponification, the residue is hydrogenated, the paraffins are frozen out (“winterization”) and the pure
- the Spanish patent specification ES 2063697 proposes to carry out the deparaffination by washing with sulfuric acid
- a similar process is the subject of German patent DE 19830171 CI (Cognis) -A Hei 09/176057 (Koyo Fine Chemicals) discloses a process for the production of squalane, in which a fraction resulting from the distillative purification of olive oil with a content of 35% by weight squalene and 50% by weight free fatty acids freed from the acids and hydrogenated, then the squalane-containing fraction i n Dissolved isopropyl alcohol and dewaxed by adding urea.
- squalane After separation of the solvent, the squalane is obtained in a purity of 93%.
- Another method for producing vegetable squalanes is known from Japanese patent application JP-A Hei 06/306387 (Nisshin Oil Mills). Residues of oils containing squalene, such as olive oil, soybean oil or palm oil, are first hydrogenated and then purified by fractional crystallization. Furthermore, it is proposed in Japanese patent application JP-A Hei 06/306388 (Nisshin Oil Mills) to take up the acidic distillates after the hydrogenation in organic solvents and to filter them under pressure through molecular sieves.
- German patent application DE 4316620 AI discloses a multi-stage process for the production of vegetable squalene, in which residues from olive oil production are saponified, split, the fatty acids esterified and the valuable substance obtained by extraction with supercritical or subcritical gases.
- this process is technically complex because of its many individual steps.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a new, simple and environmentally compatible process for the production of the intermediate squalene, which should be distinguished in particular by the fact that the target product is obtained in high purity without the use of organic solvents. Description of the invention
- the invention relates to a process for the production of squalene, in which hydrocarbon-containing intermediates from the processing of vegetable oils are extracted with a compressed gas, and the squalene is thereby enriched in the raffinate, while the impurities are removed as an extract.
- squalene can be obtained in purities of over 80% by weight in a single process step.
- the method according to the invention permits a thermally gentle and thus energy and environmentally friendly treatment of the starting materials, in which the use of solvents is completely dispensed with.
- the extractants used are non-toxic, neither flammable nor corrosive, inexpensive and available in high purity.
- the squalene is obtained absolutely solvent-free, while the extractant can be easily recovered and then recycled.
- Suitable starting materials for the production of squalene are, for example, steam condensates from the refining of vegetable oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil or sunflower oil, which have a notable hydrocarbon content.
- steam condensate means products that are obtained after deodorising vegetable oils with water vapor and precipitating the vapors.
- Damper condensates from the refining of olive oil are particularly suitable, since they contain almost exclusively unsaponifiable components that can be easily extracted.
- the extraction of the squalene-containing starting materials can be carried out in a manner known per se.
- Carbon dioxide is particularly suitable as a solvent.
- the extraction can be in one stage, for example in a stirred autoclave or in several stages, for example in a countercurrent column, at a pressure in the range from 60 to 300 and in particular 100 to 140 bar and a temperature in the range from 20 to 80 and in particular 40 to 50 ° C performed become.
- the multi-stage procedure offers the advantage of particularly high squalene contents.
- the separation of the extract can then be carried out at a pressure in the range from 50 to 80 and in particular 55 to 60 bar and a temperature in the range from 60 to 120 and in particular 75 to 85 ° C.
- the squalene can then be hydrogenated to squalane in a manner known per se.
- Example 1 250 g of a damper condensate consisting of 130 g squalene and 120 g residual components (corresponding to a squalene content of 52% by weight) were mixed at 700C with 700 g liquid carbon dioxide in an autoclave. A pressure of 147 bar was established. 60 mg of a gas-free sample from the lighter extract phase contained 19.7 mg squalene (corresponding to 32.8% by weight), while 1.9 g of a gas-free sample from the heavier raffinate phase contained 1.02 g (corresponding to 53.7% by weight) .-%) found.
- Example 2 250 g of a damper condensate consisting of 138.5 g of squalene and 111.5 g of residual components (corresponding to a squalene content of 55.4% by weight) were mixed with 694 g of supercritical carbon dioxide in an autoclave at 40 ° C. A pressure of 121 bar was established. 47.6 mg of a gas-free sample from the lighter extract phase contained 13.1 mg squalene (corresponding to 27.5% by weight), while 1.82 g of a gas-free sample from the heavier raffinate phase contained 1.04 g (corresponding 57.0% by weight) were found.
- Example 3 250 g of a damper condensate consisting of 212.5 g squalene and 37.5 g residual components (corresponding to a squalene content of 85.0% by weight) were mixed in an autoclave at 40 ° C. with 851 g supercritical carbon dioxide. A pressure of 147 bar was established. 36.5 mg of a gas-free sample from the lighter extract phase contained 22.3 mg of squalene (corresponding to 61.1% by weight), while 1.35 g (corresponding to 86, 3% by weight) were found.
- Example 4 250 g of a damper condensate consisting of 69.1 g squalene and 180.9 g residual components (corresponding to a squalene content of 27.7% by weight) were mixed at 80 ° C. with 48 g supercritical carbon dioxide in an autoclave. A pressure of 50 bar was established. A sample from the gas phase consisted of 100% by weight of carbon dioxide, which indicates that the extractant can be completely regenerated under these conditions.
- Example 5 The extraction of a squalene-rich product was carried out at 40 ° C. and 120 bar in a high-pressure column with an effective separation height of 7 m. 10 kg / h of the starting product were added to the top of the column. The feed product contained 55.4% by weight of squalene, so that the feed stream was composed of 5.54 kg / h of squalene and 4.46 kg / h of accompanying substances. A stream of pure carbon dioxide (220 kg / h) was introduced into the column in countercurrent. An extract was obtained at the top of the column flow of a total of 223 kg / h.
