Abstract

The invention discloses a microwave-assisted subcritical essential oil extracting method. The microwave-assisted subcritical essential oil extracting method includes the steps that fresh plant tissues are frozen and then are smashed; 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane is used as an extraction solvent and is led into the smashed plant tissues to perform microwave extraction; during microwave extraction, the extraction temperature is controlled to be 8-12 DEG C, the extraction pressure is controlled to be 0.8-6 Mpa, the microwave frequency is controlled to be 300-2400 MHZ, and the power is controlled to be 200-1200w; after a liquid phase in the system is separated out and microwave extraction is completed, the 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane is recovered from the liquid phase, and the rest of the liquid phase is an essential oil stock solution; the essential oil stock solution is subjected to molecular distillation to obtain essential oil. By the adoption of the microwave-assisted subcritical essential oil extracting method, the essential oil free of any residual solvent can be obtained at lower temperature, the effective ingredients of the essential oil are not destroyed, and the natural quality of the essential oil can be kept to the most degree.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to essential oil extraction, in particular to a microwave-assisted subcritical extraction method for essential oil. Background technique [0002] Plant essential oil is a volatile aromatic substance extracted from the flowers, leaves, stems, roots or fruits of plants, also known as volatile oil, essential oil or aromatic oil. The aroma of plant essential oils can relieve stress and cheer up the mood. Different types of plant essential oils also have different effects. With drug treatment, they are very helpful for many diseases and can make the disease recover faster. Essential oils can purify the air, disinfect, sterilize, etc. in daily life, so they are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, tobacco, and cosmetics. [0003] The extraction methods of essential oils are mainly concentrated in supercritical extraction and steam distillation extraction. Among them, steam distillation has the disadvantages of high...
