Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of Antarctic krill oil processing, and particularly relates to a land-sea linkage preparation method for high-quality Antarctic krill oil. Background Art

[0002] Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a marine organism living in the Antarctic sea area. It has a large biomass and high nutritional value, and has great potential for development and utilization. Antarctic krill oil is one of the main processed products of Antarctic krill, rich in nutrients such as phospholipids, ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, astaxanthin, and vitamins, and has various health effects such as promoting brain development, improving eyesight, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and enhancing immunity.

[0003] Antarctic krill is rich in highly active endogenous enzymes and needs to be quickly frozen or processed into Antarctic krill powder after being caught on board. Antarctic krill powder has low transportation cost and high quality stability, and is the main raw material for land-based extraction of Antarctic krill oil. At present, the industrial production of Antarctic krill oil is mainly extracted from Antarctic krill powder by ethanol after being transported by ship to land factories. However, due to the long distance in Antarctica and the fact that Antarctic krill powder is rich in easily oxidizable substances such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, astaxanthin, and proteins, the long storage and transportation process will lead to a decline in the quality of Antarctic krill powder, affecting the quality of the end product Antarctic krill oil. It can be seen that the quality of Antarctic krill oil is not only related to its own extraction and storage process, but also affected by the quality of its upstream product Antarctic krill powder. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to improve the quality stability of Antarctic krill oil from the processing source. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Sources of excipients

[0031] Food - grade tea polyphenol palmitate was purchased from Yuanfeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Heze, China). Food - grade fat - soluble bamboo leaf antioxidant was purchased from Jiangsu Aoxuan Food Additive Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu, China).

[0032] Detection process

[0033] 1. Color detection

[0034] The color of Antarctic krill powder and Antarctic krill oil was determined by a colorimeter combined with the three - point test method. The color was calibrated by three values of L*, a*, and b*. L* represents the lightness (+) or darkness (-) of the color, a* represents the red (+) or green (-) value of the color, and b* represents the yellow (+) or blue (-) value of the color. The whiteness (W*) was calculated by the following formula:

[0035] W* = 100 – [(100 – L*) 2 + a* 2 + b* 2 1 / 2

[0036] 2. Thiobarbituric acid value detection

[0037] ​Mix Antarctic krill oil with the mixture evenly at a ratio of 1:25 (kg / L). The mixture includes distilled water (196 mL), concentrated hydrochloric acid solution (4.17 mL), thiobarbituric acid (0.75 g), and trichloroacetic acid (30 g). After heating the above mixture in a boiling water bath for 10 min, cool it and centrifuge at 3000×g for 10 min. Take the upper layer of the mixture and measure the absorbance (A 532 ) at 532 nm. The concentration of malondialdehyde is converted to the TBARS value according to the following formula.

[0038] TBARs (ppm) = A 532 ×2.77

[0039] 3. Detection of astaxanthin

[0040] Take 200 mg of Antarctic krill oil, mix it with 5 mL of ethanol and 2 mL of NaOH-ethanol solution (0.105 mol / L), react at 4 °C for 3.5 h, then add 2 mL of phosphoric acid-ethanol solution (1 mol / L), and make up the volume to 10 mL. After centrifugation (4000 g, 5 min), take the supernatant and filter it through a 0.22 μm membrane. Determine the content of astaxanthin in Antarctic krill oil using a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC, 20AVP system SHIMADZU, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with an Elite Hypersil C18 chromatographic column (250 mm × 4.6 mm × 5 μm).

[0054] Comparative Example 1

[0055] S1: Take Antarctic krill raw materials for boiling (100 °C; 3 min) and chopping and mixing;

[0056] S2: Spray the ethanol solution onto the Antarctic krill obtained in S1. The mass - to - volume ratio of the wet - based Antarctic krill raw materials to the ethanol solution is 100:1 (kg / L);

[0060] Store the Antarctic krill powder prepared in Examples 1 - 2 and Comparative Example 1 (at 25°C, sampling at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days respectively), and detect the color change. The results are as Figure 1 shown. The visual color is as Figure 1 (A) shows that during the entire storage period, the Antarctic krill powder undergoes browning and the color gradually darkens, changing from orange - red to reddish - brown. At the same storage time, the Antarctic krill powder prepared in Examples 1 - 2 shows a smaller degree of browning. The results of the colorimeter are as Figure 1 (B)-(E) show that during the entire storage period, the lightness (L*), redness (a*), and whiteness (W*) show a downward trend (the whiteness first rises slightly and then falls), while the yellowness (b*) shows an upward trend, indicating that the Antarctic krill powder darkens, turns black, and turns yellow, and the red color gradually fades. When stored for 60 days, the Antarctic krill powder prepared in Examples 1 - 2 has a higher lightness and whiteness and a lower yellowness. It can be seen that the Antarctic krill powder prepared by the present invention has higher color stability.

[0061] After storing the Antarctic krill powder prepared in Examples 1 - 2 and Comparative Example 1 (at 25°C, sampling at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days respectively), extract the Antarctic krill oil and detect the color of the extracted Antarctic krill oil. The results are as Figure 2 shown. The visual color is as Figure 2 (A) shows that as the storage time of the Antarctic krill powder increases, the color of the Antarctic krill oil prepared from it gradually becomes brighter and yellower. At the same storage time, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1 - 2 is redder. The results of the colorimeter are as Figure 2 (B)-(D) show that as the storage time of the Antarctic krill powder increases, the lightness of the Antarctic krill oil prepared from it shows an upward trend, the redness shows a downward trend, while the yellowness shows a fluctuating upward trend, indicating that the Antarctic krill oil becomes brighter and yellower, and the red color gradually fades, which is consistent with the visual color. When stored for 60 days, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1 - 2 has a higher redness value. It can be seen that the Antarctic krill powder prepared by the present invention has higher storage stability, and the Antarctic krill oil prepared from it has better color quality.

[0062] The Antarctic krill powder prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 1 was stored (at 25°C, samples were taken at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days respectively), and then Antarctic krill oil was extracted. The astaxanthin content and oxidation degree of the extracted Antarctic krill oil were detected. The results are as Figure 3 shown. The astaxanthin results are as Figure 3 (A) shows that as the storage time of the Antarctic krill powder increases, the astaxanthin content of the Antarctic krill oil prepared therefrom shows a downward trend. At the same storage time, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 has a higher astaxanthin content. The results of the thiobarbituric acid value are as Figure 3 (B) shows that as the storage time of the Antarctic krill powder increases, the thiobarbituric acid value of the Antarctic krill oil prepared therefrom shows an upward trend, indicating that the oxidation degree of the Antarctic krill oil gradually increases. At 15 days of storage, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 has a lower oxidation degree. It can be seen that the Antarctic krill powder prepared by the present invention has higher storage stability, and the Antarctic krill oil prepared from it has a higher astaxanthin content and a lower oxidation degree.

[0063] The Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 1 was stored (at 25°C, samples were taken at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days respectively), and the color change was detected. The results are as Figure 4 shown. The visual color is as Figure 4 (A) shows that during storage, the color of the Antarctic krill oil gradually darkens and turns brown. At the same storage time, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 is brighter and has a lower degree of browning. The results of the colorimeter are as Figure 4 (B)-(D) show that during the entire storage period, the brightness, redness, and yellowness show a downward trend, indicating that the Antarctic krill oil darkens and the red color gradually fades, which is consistent with the visual color. At 60 days of storage, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 has higher brightness, redness, and yellowness values. It can be seen that compared with Comparative Example 1, the Antarctic krill powder prepared by the present invention has better quality, and the Antarctic krill oil prepared from it has higher color stability.

[0064] The Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 1 was stored (at 25°C, samples were taken at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days respectively), and its astaxanthin content and oxidation degree were detected. The results are as Figure 5 shown. The astaxanthin results are as Figure 5 (A) shows that during the entire storage period, the astaxanthin content shows a downward trend. At the same storage time, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 has a higher astaxanthin content. The results of the thiobarbituric acid value are as Figure 5(As shown in (B), during the entire storage period, the thiobarbituric acid value showed an upward trend, indicating that the degree of oxidation of Antarctic krill oil gradually increased. After 60 days of storage, the Antarctic krill oil prepared in Examples 1-2 had a lower degree of oxidation. It can be seen that compared with Comparative Example 1, the Antarctic krill powder prepared by the present invention has better quality, and the Antarctic krill oil prepared from it has higher astaxanthin content and oxidation stability.)
