Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for recycling camellia oleifera residues, and in particular to a method for preparing fragrant camellia oleifera seed oil through solid fermentation of camellia oleifera residues. Background Art

[0002] Camellia oleifera meal, as a by-product of camellia oil production, is usually used to prepare leached oil for trial use. However, the leached oil often does not have the strong flavor of camellia seed oil and is often considered not to be camellia oil, making it difficult to be recognized by the market. There are also methods of tea oil flavoring using microbial fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis of tea leached meal, but the fermentation efficiency is low due to the antibacterial activity of tea saponin, and the enzyme cost is high and cannot be recovered. Since the price of leached oil is much lower than that of pressed oil, it will be difficult to be recognized by the market if the cost cannot be reduced. In order to solve the flavor problem of leached oil and reduce the cost of existing conventional methods in the market, the flavor of camellia oleifera leached oil is improved by fermentation and then composting. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing fragrant camellia oil by solid fermentation of camellia oleifera residues.

[0004] The present invention provides a method for preparing fragrant camellia oil by solid fermentation of camellia oleifera residues, which comprises the following steps in sequence:

[0005] (1) Mixing the residue obtained by crushing and squeezing fresh camellia oleifera fruit with the solid residue obtained by centrifugation of the slurry, adding 2-10 wt % brown sugar, adjusting the moisture content to 40-45%, steaming at 115-125° C. for 30-60 minutes for sterilization, and spreading to cool;

[0006] (2) inoculating the product obtained in step (1) with Aspergillus oryzae for tea oil meal fermentation at an inoculation amount of 5-10 wt %, stirring evenly, and turning the mixture over once when the thickness of the mycelium layer on the surface is greater than 1 cm, and turning the mixture over 3-4 times in total, and adding sterile water to the fermented tea oil meal residue until the water content is 60-65%;

[0007] (3) The product obtained in step (2) is piled and fermented for 40-60 hours with a heat-insulating film; and then dried at 100-105° C. to reduce the moisture content to less than 8%;

[0008] (4) adding 5-6 times the weight of leached and refined camellia oil to the product obtained in step (3) at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:(5-6), heating at 120-130° C. for 55-60 minutes to obtain fragrant camellia oil;

[0009] (5) centrifuging the fragrant tea oil obtained in step (4) in a flat centrifuge to obtain the supernatant;

[0010] (6) The centrifugal clear oil obtained in step (5) is cold-extracted and filtered under low temperature conditions to obtain finished tea oil.

[0011] The residue and solid residue described in step (1) are as follows: the shell of fresh tea fruit is removed by a shelling machine, leaving fresh tea seeds, which are crushed by a crusher with a crushing particle size less than 1 mm, and squeezed by a press to obtain slurry and residue, and the slurry is then centrifuged by a horizontal screw to obtain pure slurry and precipitated solid residue, and the above two solid residues are mixed to obtain the fresh tea fruit residue and solid residue.

[0012] The brown sugar in step (1) is food grade brown sugar, and the proportion is 5-10% of the weight of the dry material; the steam sterilization conditions are: the steam temperature is 121° C., and the center temperature of the material is maintained for 30 minutes after reaching the temperature, and the heating is required to be uniform.

[0013] The Aspergillus oryzae used for tea dregs fermentation in step (2) is a naturally screened Aspergillus oryzae that can be propagated on tea dregs under natural conditions and grows rapidly. The secondary strain is firstly cultured with the above pressed residues under aseptic conditions and is set aside.

[0014] In the slag fermentation process of step (2), the sterilized and cooled slag is dried to a moisture content of 40-45%, and the inoculation amount is further optimized to 5-6% according to 5-10%, and the above-mentioned cultured secondary strain is added and mixed evenly. When the thickness of the surface mycelium layer is greater than 1 cm, turn it over once, and turn it over 3-4 times in total;

[0015] In step (3), the fermented residue is piled with sterile water to adjust the moisture content to 60-65%, and the residue is piled with a height of 1-1.5 meters, a width of 1-2 meters, and an unlimited length. The residue is covered with a sterile insulation film and piled for 40-48 hours. The central temperature of the pile is required to reach above 50° C. After the pile is retting, the residue is dried at 100-115° C. to a moisture content of less than 6% and set aside.

[0016] The preparation of the fragrant tea oil in step (4) is to mix the fermented residue with the fermented residue in a solid-liquid ratio of 1:5-6, and heat it at 120-130°C for 55-60 minutes to obtain a distinct and rich flavor. The obtained raw tea oil can be centrifuged on a plate.

[0017] The finished tea oil in step (6) is prepared by subjecting the raw tea oil to a low-temperature treatment at 1-10°C for 6-8 hours and then filtering it with filter paper, thereby effectively removing impurities and obtaining a finished fragrant tea oil.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Aspergillus oryzae, which is resistant to camellia saponin and can use camellia meal as a nitrogen source, was selected as a fermentation strain. No external nitrogen source is required and the fermentation efficiency is high.

[0020] 2. Innovate the way of composting after fermentation, use the high temperature and high humidity of the composting process to promote natural enzymatic hydrolysis, increase the basic raw materials for heating and aroma production, avoid the trial use of enzyme preparations, and reduce preparation costs.

[0021] 3. This method is simple, does not require the extraction of relevant soluble amino acids and reducing sugars, has low requirements on the operating environment, and consumes less energy. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
