Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep oil processing technology, specifically relating to a method for extracting walnut polyphenols and preparing fat-soluble antioxidants through continuous enzymatic modification. Background Technology

[0002] The deep processing of walnuts generates a large amount of walnut shells and septum. Currently, these are often discarded as waste, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution. Walnut shells and septum contain abundant polyphenols, which have the effects of scavenging free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and preventing macromolecular oxidation. They have become a research hotspot in the food and pharmaceutical fields. Therefore, fully developing and utilizing the polyphenols in walnut shells and septum can not only turn waste into treasure but also bring significant social and economic benefits.

[0003] Currently, the extraction of polyphenols from walnut husks, shells, and septa commonly employs organic solvents, water, and eutectic solvents. Compared to traditional organic solvents, eutectic solvents, with their naturally derived components, offer better stability, safety, and environmental friendliness, making them the preferred solvents for polyphenol extraction in recent years. However, the predominance of water-soluble polyphenols limits their application in lipid-soluble systems, thus restricting their antioxidant activity. Compared to traditional lipid-soluble antioxidants such as TBHQ and BHA, naturally derived polyphenols offer higher safety and antioxidant activity, but their lower lipid solubility limits their application in oils and lipid-soluble systems. Maintaining the antioxidant activity of natural polyphenols while improving their lipid solubility is one of the key bottlenecks in polyphenol modification. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to provide a method for extracting walnut polyphenols and preparing a fat-soluble antioxidant through continuous enzymatic modification. This method enables the extraction and continuous enzymatic modification of walnut polyphenols, and the resulting fat-soluble modified walnut polyphenols exhibit better antioxidant activity and safety compared to traditional chemically synthesized antioxidants.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a fat-soluble antioxidant by extracting walnut polyphenols and continuously enzymatically modifying them includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: After drying and pulverizing the mixture of walnut shells and septum, mix it with a eutectic solvent, heat and stir, centrifuge and collect the upper product;

[0008] Step 2: After rotary evaporation of the upper product obtained in Step 1, fatty acids are added, and the mixture is heated and stirred until homogeneous. Immobilized lipase is then added to carry out the reaction. After the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is collected by centrifugation.

[0009] Step 3: Separate and remove the free fatty acids from the reaction mixture obtained in Step 2 to obtain a fat-soluble antioxidant.

[0010] Preferably, in step 1, vacuum drying is used to dry the walnut shells and septum, with a vacuum degree ≥0.095MPa, a drying temperature of 35~45℃, and a drying time of 4~6h; after drying, the walnut shells are crushed to below 30mm.

[0011] Preferably, in step 1, the eutectic solvent is choline chloride-urea, betaine-urea, choline chloride-xylitol, or choline chloride-glucose-water; in choline chloride-urea, the molar ratio of choline chloride to urea is 1:(1-2); in betaine-urea, the molar ratio of betaine to urea is 1:(1-2); in choline chloride-xylitol, the molar ratio of choline chloride to xylitol is 1:(1-2); in choline chloride-glucose-water, the molar ratio of choline chloride, glucose, and water is (2.5-1):1:(2.5-10).

[0012] More preferably, the water activity Aw of the eutectic solvent is 0.3 to 0.7.

[0013] Preferably, in step 1, the mass ratio of the eutectic solvent to the mixture of walnut shell and septum is 10 to 20:1.

[0014] Preferably, in step 1, the heating temperature is 50-70℃; the stirring speed is 300-500 rpm; the stirring time is 1-2 hours; and the centrifugation speed after stirring is 12000-15000 rpm, and the time is 5-10 minutes.

[0015] Preferably, in step 2, the rotary evaporation process is carried out until the water activity Aw of the eutectic solvent drops below 0.2; the heating temperature is 50–70°C.

[0016] Preferably, in step 2, the added fatty acid is palmitic acid or oleic acid, and the amount added is 0.5 to 1 times the mass of the mixture of walnut shell and septum.

[0017] Preferably, in step 2, the added immobilized lipase is Novozym 435 or Lipozyme 435, and the amount added is 5% to 10% of the fatty acid mass; the stirring speed is 300 to 500 rpm, and the reaction time is 6 to 12 h.

[0018] Preferably, in step 3, a solid-phase extraction column is used to separate and remove fatty acids from the reaction mixture to obtain a fat-soluble antioxidant.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] This invention discloses a method for extracting walnut polyphenols and preparing a fat-soluble antioxidant via continuous enzymatic modification. The method uses a eutectic solvent as both the extraction and reaction medium. By controlling the water activity of the eutectic solvent, the extraction and continuous enzymatic modification of walnut polyphenols can be achieved. Furthermore, by controlling the enzymatic reaction conditions, the fat solubility, antioxidant activity, and yield of the modified product of walnut polyphenols can be controlled. Compared to traditional methods for extracting and modifying polyphenols, this invention uses a eutectic solvent as both the extraction and reaction medium. On the one hand, the extraction effect of the eutectic solvent on walnut polyphenols can be controlled by adjusting the water activity; on the other hand, the degree of esterification of walnut polyphenols can be controlled by adjusting the water activity of the eutectic solvent. This invention achieves the extraction and continuous enzymatic modification of walnut polyphenols by controlling the water activity of the eutectic solvent and the enzymatic reaction conditions. Moreover, the fat-soluble modified walnut polyphenols exhibit better antioxidant activity and safety compared to traditional chemically synthesized antioxidants. This invention enables the extraction and continuous enzymatic modification of walnut polyphenols, allowing for the continuous extraction and modification of polyphenolic substances. The modified products exhibit higher safety and antioxidant activity, demonstrating not only promising prospects for industrial application but also significant social and economic benefits.

[0021] Furthermore, the type, component ratio, and water activity of the eutectic solvent can not only ensure a good extraction effect of walnut polyphenols, but also a good esterification effect of walnut polyphenols.

[0022] Furthermore, the drying conditions and degree of grinding of walnut shells and septum, as well as the mass ratio of eutectic solvent to walnut shell and septum powder, extraction temperature, rotation speed, and time, can ensure that walnut polyphenols are fully extracted.

[0023] Furthermore, the fatty acids used are palmitic acid or oleic acid, which can effectively promote the esterification of walnut polyphenols.

[0024] Furthermore, the immobilized lipase used is Novozym 435 or Lipozyme 435, and the amount added is 5% to 10% of the total substrate mass. This not only ensures the efficient esterification of walnut polyphenols, but also ensures the economy of the reaction. Attached Figure Description
