The invention discloses a method for extracting a
brown pigment in
acorn shells by enzymolysis, comprising the following steps: preparing the
acorn shells, washing,
drying, crushing, adding an extraction
solvent and
enzyme, extracting by enzymolysis, carrying out
centrifugation, repeating the extraction and
centrifugation, combining the extracts, carrying out vacuum condensation, carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain the
brown pigment. According to the invention, the problems of low extraction rate of the
brown pigment in the
acorn shells,
low activity, and tedious production technology in the existing traditional methods are solved;
plant cell walls are allowed to vary to different extent by the action of
cellulose, such as
softening, expansion and collapse, etc. so as to change the permeability of the
cell walls and accelerate the release of the
pigment, thus the extraction rate is raised; the raw materials used herein are abundant, the extraction process is simple, and the extraction rate is high; the prepared acorn shell brown
pigment is a natural extract product, the elements are safe, the stability is good, and the prepared acorn shell brown
pigment has effect of health care, and can be widely used in the fields of food,
cosmetics, textiles and
medicine industry.
