The present invention provides a production process of medlar
essential oil and edible
meal powder. The production process comprises: pressing medlar or seed thereof into a billet, carrying out subcritical extraction, carrying out
solid-liquid separation after the extraction to obtain a
solid wet
meal and a
mixed solution, carrying out
desorption evaporation on the
mixed solution to remove the extractant so as to obtain the
crude oil, further carrying out molecular
distillation refining on the
crude oil to obtain the medlar functional
essential oil, completely removing the
residual solvent from the
solid wet
meal, carrying out low-temperature
drying, puffing, milling, and
powder making, and screening with a 100-180 mesh
sieve so as to obtain the medlar edible
meal powder. With the method of the present invention, the complex processes that the chemical and physical methods are used to perform deacidification, decolorizing, deodorization and the like in the traditional
grease refining are eliminated, the process is short, the efficiency is high, the
acid value of the
essential oil after the molecule
distillation is 0.21-0.23 mg / g, and the essential oil meets the national grade-one
edible oil standard. In addition, the oil-extracted
meal powder obtained through the method of the present invention still contains all the
nutrition and
active components and pharmacological functions of the medlar or seeds excluding the oil, and is the high-quality additive for preparing the food or health product.
