Method for continuous countercurrent ultrasonic extracting of coenzyme Q10

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for continuous countercurrent ultrasonic extracting of coenzyme Q10. The method comprises the following steps: respectively feeding thalli and an extraction solvent into a digestion cabin from the feeding ports at the two ends of a continuous countercurrent ultrasonic extracting machine, making the thalli and extraction solvent flow reversely and meanwhile starting an ultrasonic oscillator for assisting in extraction; evaporating and concentrating the extracting solution; purifying, thereby acquiring coenzyme Q10; recovering the solvent; performing residue and liquid separation on the extracted thalli, mixing the extracting solution with the extracting solution acquired in the last step and concentrating, drying and desolventizing the wet thalli residue, thereby acquiring dry thalli residue and recovering the solvent; recovering the gas generated in the processing process through a solvent tail gas recovering system and condensing, thereby acquiring the recovered solvent; and re-pouring all the recovered solvent into a solvent storage tank for recycling. According to the extracting method disclosed by the invention, the continuous dynamic countercurrent ultrasonic extraction is realized within a shorter extracting pipe, the gradient ratio is guaranteed, the yield is increased, the solvent dosage is reduced, the output of later filtering, separation and concentration is relieved, the energy is saved, the consumption is reduced and the production cost is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of extraction of coenzyme Q10, in particular to a method for continuous countercurrent ultrasonic extraction of coenzyme Q10. Background technique [0002] Coenzyme Q10, English name Coenzyme Q10, referred to as CoQ10. It is a vitamin-like substance widely distributed in the human body, especially in the heart with the highest content. It is the only natural nutrient on the market that has the functions of activating cellular respiration and anti-free radical oxidation. It is a powerful antioxidant when used alone or in combination with vitamin E. As a metabolic activator, it exists in the mitochondrial inner membrane of cells and generates cellular power through specific cellular metabolism. At the same time, it is also a vitamin-like nutrient substance. After consumption, it can activate cellular respiration, accelerate the production of high-energy ATP, strengthen myocardial metabolism, and improve heart beating...

Problems solved by technology

Ultrasonic extraction technology accelerates the penetration, dissolution, and diffusion during the extraction process, shortens the extraction time, and improves the extraction yield. However, if the tank-type ultrasonic extraction equipment is used, the extraction scale is small, and the second is that it cannot be continuous. At the same time, because there is no concentration difference, The extraction is not clean once, and multiple extractions are required, which can neither reduce the amount of solvent nor reduce the labor intensity, and the problems of slag discharge in conventional extraction tanks still exist. Except for the short time, there are no other obvious advantages
