Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil processing, in particular to a preparation method of a flaxseed glycerol diester oil and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Flaxseed oil is rich in α-linolenic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids, and has many physiological functions such as regulating blood lipids and reducing blood sugar. However, the main component of traditional flaxseed oil is triglyceride, which is easy to recombine into fat in the body metabolism process, which is not conducive to the control of blood lipids and blood sugar. Glycerol diester, especially 1,3-glycerol diester, is considered as an oil component with health management potential due to its unique metabolic pathway of not being easy to accumulate body fat. Studies have shown that glycerol diester oil prepared from soybean oil, rapeseed oil and other raw materials shows certain effect in controlling weight and blood lipids.
[0003] The prior art mainly focuses on preparing DAG from common vegetable oils such as soybean oil and rapeseed oil. These raw material oils are mainly ω-6 fatty acids, and the DAG oil prepared therefrom has a “ceiling effect” in terms of metabolic benefits such as regulating blood lipids and anti-inflammatory. Although flaxseed oil is rich in ω-3 α-linolenic acid which is more metabolically active, it is more difficult to prepare high-purity DAG from flaxseed oil (because polyunsaturated fatty acids are easy to oxidize and more sensitive to process). SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a preparation method of flaxseed glycerol diester oil. The method uses a specific compound lipase catalytic system in combination with a two-stage molecular distillation purification process, aiming to efficiently and mildly prepare flaxseed glycerol diester oil with high glycerol diester content and good quality. The present application also provides the application of the glycerol diester oil in preparing lipid-lowering and / or blood sugar-lowering products.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the present application adopts the following technical solutions: A preparation method of flaxseed glycerol diester oil, comprising the following steps: Step S1, mixing flaxseed oil, glycerol and a compound lipase to occur an enzyme-catalyzed glycerolysis reaction to obtain a mixture rich in partial glycerides (mainly glycerol diesters and glycerol monoesters); Step S2, centrifuging the glycerol diester and glycerol monoester-containing mixture prepared in step S1 to collect an upper oil phase to remove most of the free glycerol, residual enzyme and water; Step S3, performing first-stage molecular distillation on the upper oil in step S2 to collect a heavy phase component to preliminarily enrich glycerol diesters and glycerol monoesters and remove light components such as free fatty acids, part of monoglycerides and volatile substances; Step S4, the heavy phase component in step S3 is subjected to a second molecular distillation, and the heavy phase component is collected, i.e. a high-purity linseed glyceride oil; the second distillation aims to further separate glycerol monesters and glycerol diesters to obtain a high-purity glyceride product.
[0006] As preferred, in step S1, the complex lipase is a mixture of lipase TL 100L and lipase CALB, and the weight ratio is 9:8. The specific ratio of the complex enzyme system takes advantage of the strong activity of TL 100L on glycerolysis reaction and the good selectivity of CALB, and synergistically acts to significantly improve the conversion efficiency of glyceride and the proportion of DAG in the product.
[0007] As preferred, in step S1, the weight ratio of linseed oil to glycerol is 4-6:1. This ratio helps the reaction to proceed in the direction of generating glyceride, while avoiding the separation difficulty caused by excessive glycerol.
[0008] As preferred, in step S2, the centrifugal rotation speed is 10000-15000 rpm / min to ensure effective separation of solid-liquid and light-heavy liquid phases.
[0009] As preferred, in step S3, the first molecular distillation is carried out under the following conditions: temperature 160-190℃, pressure 8-9 Pa, and time 150-180 minutes.
[0010] As preferred, in step S4, the second molecular distillation is carried out under the following conditions: temperature 210-230℃, pressure 8-9 Pa, and time 40-60 minutes. The design of two-stage distillation conditions aims to realize gradient separation and finally efficiently obtain high-purity glyceride.
[0011] A linseed glyceride oil prepared by any of the above methods, characterized in that the content of glyceride is higher than 80%.
[0012] The above linseed glyceride oil is used in the preparation of products with lipid-lowering and / or glucose-lowering functions.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are: (1) A complex catalytic system composed of lipase TL 100L and CALB with a specific weight ratio (9:8) is adopted to fully exert the synergistic effect of the two enzymes and generate an intermediate product mixture with high glycerol monoester content, high glyceride content, and low residual triglyceride, laying a foundation for subsequent efficient purification.
[0014] (2) Through the combined purification process of "centrifugal impurity removal → primary molecular distillation preliminary enrichment → secondary molecular distillation deep purification", especially the optimization of the temperature, pressure and time parameters of the two-stage molecular distillation, the content of glycerol diglyceride in the product can be efficiently increased to more than 80%, and the active nutritional ingredients in flaxseed oil are better retained.
[0015] (3) The whole preparation process is mild, avoiding the destruction of polyunsaturated fatty acids in flaxseed oil under high temperature and high pressure, and the product has good quality and high nutritional value.
[0016] (4) Animal experiments have confirmed that the flaxseed glycerol diglyceride oil prepared by the above specific method shows unexpected synergistic hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities, and has potential application value in regulating blood lipids and blood sugar.
