Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a method for extracting edible Torreya grandis protein. Background Art
[0002] Torreya grandis is a unique dried fruit tree species in China. It is native to Zhejiang Province and is currently mainly produced in southeastern China. It is an ecological and economic tree species that can maintain water and soil and conserve water resources. Torreya grandis seeds are extremely nutritious and high-quality dried fruits. The kernels have a high oil content. The seeds can be used to extract edible oil and can be used to produce lubricants and waxes.
[0003] However, what is often overlooked is that Torreya grandis seeds are also rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, especially protein, which shows high edible and medicinal value in anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-tumor and sterilization. The amino acids contained in its protein are similar to the amino acid recommended by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and it is a protein with high nutritional value. Torreya grandis protein is also of fine quality, good taste and unique flavor, making it very suitable as a nutritional additive for patients.
[0004] As mentioned above, oil extraction, production of lubricants and waxes are the common industrial uses of Torreya grandis seeds both at home and abroad. In the above production process, the defatted Torreya grandis raw materials will be directly discarded, resulting in a large waste of nutrients.
[0005] Therefore, in order to extract edible protein from Torreya grandis seeds and avoid the waste of nutrients, it is necessary to provide a method for extracting a large amount of edible Torreya grandis protein from Torreya grandis seeds. Summary of the invention

The method can fully extract the protein in Torreya grandis seeds while squeezing oil from Torreya grandis seeds, thereby producing Torreya grandis protein that can be used as food or food additive. The waste after extraction can also be used for the extraction of Torreya grandis oil, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the prior art.

[0030] Example 1
[0031] In Example 1, a method for extracting edible Torreya grandis protein is provided. Figure 1The method first peels the raw Torreya grandis seeds, removes impurities, and cleans them to obtain raw Torreya grandis pulp raw material. Then, the raw Torreya grandis pulp is crushed for 2 hours using a food-grade ultrafine grinder to obtain Torreya grandis powder. Then, defatting is performed, Torreya grandis powder is mixed with petroleum ether at a mass ratio of 1:5, and magnetic stirring is performed for 4 hours. After stirring, Torreya grandis powder and petroleum ether are fully mixed, and a suction filtration device is used for suction filtration to obtain defatted Torreya grandis powder. The waste liquid obtained after suction filtration can be used for the extraction of Torreya grandis oil. Then, the defatted Torreya grandis powder is mixed with deionized water at a mass ratio of 1:10, magnetic stirring is performed for 3 hours, and centrifugation is performed using a centrifuge to obtain a supernatant and a precipitate. Then the precipitate was mixed with deionized water at a mass ratio of 1:10, stirred, and centrifuged using a centrifuge, with a centrifugal speed of 10000rpm, a centrifugal temperature of 4°C, and a centrifugal time of 15 minutes. The supernatant and the precipitate were taken, and the obtained supernatant was mixed, and then the precipitate was mixed with deionized water for several times, stirred, and centrifuged, with a centrifugal speed of 10000rpm, a centrifugal temperature of 4°C, and a centrifugal time of 45 minutes. After repeating 5 times, all the supernatants were mixed. Then, a 2 mol / L HCl solution was added to the obtained mixed supernatant, and the pH value of the supernatant was adjusted to 3.5, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 30 minutes, and then centrifuged at a centrifugal speed of 8000rpm, a centrifugal temperature of 4°C, and a centrifugal time of 10 minutes to collect the Torreya grandis protein precipitate. Then the collected Torreya grandis protein precipitate was added to deionized water for re-dissolution, the mass ratio of Torreya grandis protein precipitate to deionized water was 1:5, 1 mol / L NaOH solution was added to adjust to neutrality, stirred at room temperature, and after the Torreya grandis protein precipitate was completely dissolved, a Torreya grandis protein solution was obtained. The Torreya grandis protein solution was placed in an 8000Da dialysis bag, and the dialysis bag was dialyzed in deionized water for 48 hours to obtain a Torreya grandis protein dialysate. The dialysate was freeze-dried to finally obtain Torreya grandis protein.
