Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food deep processing, and particularly relates to a lycopene oil microcapsule and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lycopene is a liposoluble pigment belonging to carotenoids, and is one of the main carotenoids in human diet. Lycopene is a typical isoprene compound, and is most abundant in tomatoes, and is also relatively high in apricots, guavas, watermelons, papayas and pink grapefruits, and presents bright red. Lycopene contains 13 double bonds, of which 11 are conjugated double bonds. This structure enables lycopene to better scavenge active oxygen and quench singlet oxygen. However, the presence of unsaturated double bonds makes lycopene easily oxidized and isomerized under light, oxygen, acid, heat or other environmental changes, so that its spatial configuration is changed from the natural all-trans isomer to the cis isomer, thereby affecting its bioavailability. In addition, low water solubility and instability in the gastrointestinal tract result in low bioavailability of lycopene, thereby limiting its application in functional foods and health care products. Microencapsulation technology can well solve the problem of poor stability of lycopene and improve its bioavailability, including spray drying, freeze drying method, coacervation method, embedding complexation method, ion gelation method, etc. The types of encapsulating wall materials include sugars, proteins, proteins and sugars, etc.

[0003] In the prior art, a single wall material or a combination of multiple carbohydrates is used to prepare a wall material for embedding lycopene, and it is found that the embedding rate of the microcapsule is low and the stability is not high. The spray drying method for preparing lycopene oil microcapsules can realize batch continuous production, and the product has good dispersibility and solubility. However, the high temperature in the spray tower and the exposure of the microcapsules to air can easily inactivate the active substances. Freeze drying is widely used in the fields of food and medicine, and is mainly used for drying heat-sensitive substances, but it has high energy consumption, long drying time and high production cost. Konjac gum is a common embedding wall material for microcapsules. In the current research, due to its high viscosity, it needs to be modified to make it more suitable for embedding. Traditional modification often uses enzyme modification, and the modified konjac gum has single function and poor effect on delivering stable functional factors.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method for modifying konjac gum and to use other wall materials to embed lycopene oil. At the same time, when drying the microcapsules, a new mode of using multiple drying methods to dry the materials can also promote the production of lycopene oil. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above shortcomings, in order to solve the problems of low stability of existing lycopene oil, single function after embedding and improve the bioavailability of lycopene, the application provides a preparation method of lycopene oil microcapsule and lycopene oil microcapsule prepared by the preparation method.

[0006] The microcapsule wall material comprises carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan, whey protein and beta-cyclodextrin; lycopene powder is dissolved in rapeseed oil as core material under high temperature conditions, and glycerol monolaurate is used as an emulsifier.

[0007] Konjac glucomannan can remove a part of acetyl groups under mild alkaline conditions, which is beneficial to the hydrogen bond crosslinking between intramolecular and intermolecular hydroxyl groups, and at the same time, the interaction between molecular chains is enhanced, thereby causing the change of film forming property. After the removal of acetyl groups, the molecular chain gradually changes from a semi-flexible linear molecule to an elastic microsphere, which is more suitable for being used as an embedding wall material than natural konjac glucomannan. At the same time, carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan has a certain antibacterial property and has a good inhibitory effect on bacteria.

[0008] The carbohydrate wall material has poor emulsifying ability due to no surface activity. By adding whey protein and beta-cyclodextrin to be compounded with carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan as the wall material of lycopene microcapsulation, the cost can be reduced, and the problems of poor protein solubility and poor emulsifying ability of carbohydrate substances can be solved. The synergistic effect of protein and carbohydrate substances on the physical properties of microcapsules is very helpful, and the stability of lycopene microcapsules can be greatly improved.

[0009] Glycerol monolaurate is synthesized by direct esterification of lauric acid and glycerol, and generally has the appearance of flaky or oily, white or light yellow fine crystalline particles. It is not only a good emulsifier, but also a safe, efficient and broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, and is not limited by pH. Under neutral or slightly alkaline conditions, it still has good antibacterial effect.

[0010] Infrared and vacuum freezing can improve the heat transfer mode and accelerate water sublimation. The infrared lamp is installed in the freeze dryer for vacuum freeze drying. After removing most of the water, the "skeleton" of the semi-dry product is formed. Then, the remaining water is removed by vacuum microwave method. The microwave penetrates the material quickly and efficiently, the radiant energy is converted into heat energy, the material is heated inside and outside at the same time, and the diffusion and evaporation of water are accelerated.

[0023] Further, the mass ratio of the whey protein to β-cyclodextrin is 1:1.

[0024] Further, the emulsifier in step (3) is glycerol monolaurate, and the amount of the emulsifier used is 0.5%-2.5% of the mass of the microcapsule solution.

[0025] Further, the lycopene oil in step (3) is prepared by the following method:

[0026] Take 2g lycopene powder with 10% content and dissolve in 100g rapeseed oil, heat at 150-160℃ for 15-30s, then put in a reaction kettle, react at 170℃, 10MPa for 10-30min, cool and filter, then lycopene oil is obtained.

[0027] Further, the mass ratio of the microcapsule wall material solution to the lycopene oil in step (3) is 2-6:1.

[0028] Further, the water bath stirring condition under heating in step (3) is 40-60℃ water bath stirring for 0.5-2h.
