Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting lycopene oleoresin by using tomato, watermelon and the like as raw materials, especially a method for extracting lycopene oleoresin by using supercritical carbon dioxide, propane, ethane and ethylene fluid. Background technique
[0002] The countries that produce lycopene oleoresin on a large scale in the world today mainly include Israel, the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries, and the method used is solvent extraction [WO97 / 48287, WO96 / 13178 (CN1176577A)]. The disadvantages of the solvent extraction method are the consumption of a large amount of valuable organic solvents, high energy consumption, large loss of lycopene during the extraction process, solvent residues, and low extraction rate (only about 80%). Contents of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing solvent extraction method for extracting lycopene, the present invention prov...
