Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the methods for deterpening essential oils mainly include vacuum distillation, supercritical fluid method, microwave-assisted extraction method, membrane separation method, etc. These methods have the problems of low purity and low recovery of oxygenated terpenoids
For example, people such as Raeissi S use supercritical ethane to deterpene orange essential oil under the conditions of 100°C, 6.08MPa, and solvent / raw material mass ratio of 56, and the content of linalool is increased from 0.88% (mol fraction) to 6.71 %, but the purity of linalool in essential oils has not yet reached a high level

Embodiment 1

[0046] 5wt.% linalool + 95wt.% limonene was used as the simulated essential oil. Tetrabutylammonium bromide was selected as the association extraction agent for association extraction, the mass ratio of tetrabutylammonium bromide to linalool was 20:1; the stirring temperature of association extraction was 50°C, the time was 1h, and static Set the temperature at 30° C. for 4 hours to obtain a limonene phase and a deep eutectic solvent phase containing linalool.

[0047] Detected by gas chromatography, the distribution coefficient of linalool is 14, the selectivity is 104, and the extraction rate is 96.5%.

[0048] A two-step stripping operation was performed on the deep eutectic solvent phase containing linalool. In the first step of stripping operation, n-hexane is selected as the stripping agent, and multi-stage cross-flow stripping is carried out to completely separate limonene from the deep eutectic solvent phase in the association extraction process, so as to achieve the ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for removing terpene from essential oil, and belongs to the technical field of essential oil purification. According to the method, an organic salt association extraction agent is used for association extraction, the selectivity, the partition coefficient and the extraction rate are high in the extraction process, the organic salt association extraction agent and the oxygen-containing terpenoids can form the eutectic solvent, efficient extraction of the oxygen-containing terpenoids is achieved, and then most terpenes are separated out. Through two times of backextraction processes, terpene and the oxygen-containing terpenoids can be completely separated, and the purity and the recovery rate of the obtained oxygen-containing terpenoids are very high. Meanwhile, the method provided by the invention is simple to operate, low in energy consumption and free of side reaction. Results of embodiments show that the purity of the oxygen-containing terpenoids obtained by the method for removing terpenes from essential oil provided by the invention can reach 99%, and the recovery rate can reach 95%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of essential oil purification, in particular to a method for deterpening essential oils. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to the naturalness, health and safety of materials. As a natural product from plants, essential oils have characteristic aroma, antioxidant, antibacterial, and insecticidal effects, and are widely used in industries such as spices, food, cosmetics, and medicine. [0003] Essential oils are complex mixtures of terpenes, oxygenated terpenoids, and small amounts of nonvolatile substances. Terpenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contribute little to the aroma of essential oils. Terpenes are easily decomposed under light, heat and air conditions, which is not conducive to the preservation and use of essential oils; in contrast, oxygen-containing terpenoids have Bett...
