Abstract
The invention is for a method for the isolation of the minor non-glyceride components of palm oil or like vegetable oil containing free fatty acid and non-glyceride components similar to that of palm oil which method comprises: (i) esterifying the free fatty acid component of the oil with one or more monohydric alcohols to form an esterified oil with every low free fatty acid content, (ii) converting the glycerides into monoesters by transesterification employing one or more monohydric alcohols, (iii) adsorbing the non-glyceride components onto a selective absorbent to separate said components from the esters of the oil, and (iv) thereafter desorbing the non-glyceride components from the adsorbent with the use of solvent to recover said components. The adsorbent is preferably activated alumina, activated carbon, or silica gel, preferably reverse phase (particularly C18) silica gel. By the method, carotenes, sterols, tocopherols and other non-glyceride components can be isolated.
Description
RECOVERY OF CAROTENOIDS, TOCOPHEROLS, TOCOTRIENOLS
AND STEROLS FROM ESTERIFIED PALM OIL
Crude palm oil contains about 1% of non-glyceride components which include carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols and sterols. The carotenoids, consisting of mainly ct and p carotenes at 500 to 700 ppm, are important constituents with pro-vitamin A activity, possible anti-tumor formation properties, and other physiological activities. The tocopherols and tocotrienols are Vitamin E constituents and also natural anti-oxidants, and are present at approximately 600 to 1000 ppm in crude palm oil; the major component is the gamma-tocotrienol which has recently been found to have anti-cancer properties besides its known anti-oxidant activity.Tocotrienol has been found to lower blood cholesterol. (The sterols consists mainly of sitosterols, stigmasterol and campesterol provide raw materials for steroid intermediates 3and drugs).
Several methods have been developed to extract these valuable compounds; In the case of the carotenoids, the known methods can be classified as follows:
(i) Extraction by saponification e.g. British
Patent 567,682; U.S. Patent 2,460,796; U.S. Patent 2,440,029; U.S. Patent 2,572,467; U.S. Patent 2,652,433
(ii) Iodine method
(iii) Urea process
(iv) Extraction using Fuller's earth or activated carbon, eig. British Patent 691,924; British Patent 1,563,794; U.S. Patent 2,484,040
(v) Extraction by selective solvents e.g.
U.S. Patent 2,432,021
(vi) Molecular Distillation.
In the saponific@tion method e t.e oil is saponified to give soap, glycerol and a non-sapcnifiable fraction containing carotenes.
In the iodine method (ii), the-iodinc is added
to a solution of palm oil in petroleum ether, an
insoluble precipitate of carotene di-iodide is formed. The iodo- compound when treated with sodium thiosulphate however yields iso-carotene or debydro-caroten which has no. biological activity.
with the urea- method (iii), the triglycerides are broken down to fatty acids and methyl Esters which then form insoluble compounds with urea and thiourca, leaving the carotenoids in the remaining
liquid.
Extraction of carotenes using adsorbents has been carried out using Fuller's earth and activated carbon (method iv). However, the extraction of the carotenes from the earth gives oxidised or isomerised products of carotenes. Carotene is concentrated six
times in the extract.
Extraction of carotenes by selective solvents
(method v) has been carried out using propane or furùral. The carotene is concentrated (three times that of the original oil). in the furfural phase.
By method (vi) carotenes can also be obtained by molecular distilration (10-3 - 10-4 mm Hg).
Fractions collected at 230 C have a carotene content of about five times that of the original oil.
None of these methods however have been commercialised because of several difficulties.
According to the present invention there is a method for the isolation of the minor non-glyceride components of palm oil or like vegetable oil containing free fatty acid and non-glyceride components similar to that of plam oil, which method comprises:
(i)' Esterifying the free fatty acid component c' the oil with one or more monohydric alchols to form an esterified oil with a very low free fatty.
acrid content,
(ii) converting the glycerides into monoesters by transesterification employing one or more monohydric alcohols,
(iii) adsorbing the non-glyceride components onto a selective adsorbent to separate said components from the esters of the oil, and
(iv) thereafter desorbing the non-glyceride components from the adsorbent with the use of solvent to recover said components.
The present method used a selective adsorbent for the adsorption of the minor.non-glyceride components from esterified palm oil. We have found that this method is pqssible because, unlike crude palm oil, esterified plam oil possesses suitable physical and chemical properties. Passage of the e sterified palm oil with or without solvent through a selective adsorbent allows solid phase extraction or trapping of carotenoids, sterols, tocopherols and tocotrienols.
It is a surprising discovery that solid adsorbents such as alumina or silica gel, or carbon contrary to the expectation of .a.skilled worker in the art, provide a very satisfactory uay of obtaining the minor non-glyceride components which include the carotenes sterols, tocopherois etc. from the original vegetable oils.
In a typical extraction of carotens from pal: esters (e:g. methyl esters) prepared in accordanc with British Patent Specification sa48897A, passage through bonded phase silica gel provides a recovery of 70? of the available carotenes in the form of a concentrate. Extraction is possible in the presence of alcohols (e.@. methanol, ethanol etc.) from which the esters have been prepared. In t typical extraction of sterols, tocopherols and tocotrienols, palm esters are passed thrcvgh. suitable adsorbents such as activated alumina and silica gel. where they are selectively adsorbed and later desorbed using suitable solvents.Purification to pure components can be carried out using conventional chromatographic techniques.
The present method alloys for the recovery from palm oil of several valuable minor components. the value of which can surpass that of the oil. The industrial preparation of palm esters for oleochemicals, detergents, palm diesel, etc. opens sup an important avenue for the recovery of'these minor - components.
Follouing is a description by way of example'of the recovery of carotonoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols and sterols by reverse phase (Cl8) silica gel carbon and alumina adsorbents.
Example 1
Crude palm oil methyl ester was dissolved in methanol (30 ml) and the mixture was introduced into a glass column packed with C18 reverse phase (1Sg) the packing having a height of 20 cm and diameter of 1.8 cm. The ester eluted first and was collected and pumped as fraction W1. More methanol was introdueed into tile column to elute out as much ester as possible until carotenoid was about to be eluted out and this was collected and pumped as fraction
Hexane and methanol (98:2 v/v) or chloroform was used to elute out the carotenoid and this was collected as fractrion W3. Occasionally the column was then cleaned up once with chloroform (40 ml) giving rise to fraction W4. The column was then soaked in methanol for further use.A chromatographic separation was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere and the recovery of carotenes was determined at 446 nm. The results are shown in
Table 1.
