Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep processing of camellia oil, and particularly to a low-temperature ecological physical pressing method for camellia oil. Background Art

[0002] Camellia oil is a high-quality and high-end edible oil extracted from camellia seeds. The commonly used extraction methods in the current industry are extraction method, aqueous enzymatic method, hot pressing method and cold pressing method. The extraction method has high efficiency and high oil yield, but it uses chemical solvents, which is criticized by consumers. Moreover, the crude oil obtained by the extraction method has many impurities and needs to be refined and purified before it can be consumed, and the refining and purification destroys the unique nutrients of camellia oil. The aqueous enzymatic method is ecological and healthy, but it has low efficiency and high cost, and has not been popularized in production. The hot pressing method has relatively high efficiency and high oil yield, but the temperature in the processing process is too high, and a severe Maillard reaction will occur, and the nutrients rich in camellia seeds are destroyed, and some harmful substances such as benzo(a)pyrene are produced. The crude oil obtained by the hot pressing method has poor quality and needs to be refined before it can be consumed, and the refining and purification further destroys the unique nutrients of camellia oil. The cold pressing method is ecological and healthy, but the oil yield is low and the production cost is relatively high. At present, most manufacturers using the extraction method and the hot pressing method have adopted a refining process to ensure the quality of the refined oil, but the unique nutrients of camellia oil are destroyed, and reducing the refining intensity has become a consensus in the industry. Therefore, the aqueous enzymatic method and the cold pressing method have emerged, but the crude oil obtained by the aqueous enzymatic method and the cold pressing method has a high moisture content and many impurities, and still needs to be moderately refined such as dehydration and degumming. Moreover, the flavor substances are thin, and the unique flavor of camellia oil is not typical, and even some users question its authenticity. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flow chart of a low-temperature ecological physical pressing method for camellia oil provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes steps S101 to S105.

[0030] Step S101: Place the pretreated camellia seeds in an environment of ≤85°C for smokeless air-drying treatment;

[0031] In this step, after pretreating the camellia seeds, place the camellia seeds in an environment of ≤85°C for smokeless air-drying treatment until the moisture of the camellia seeds reaches the pressing requirement.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, before step S101, it includes: drying the picked camellia seeds, screening the dried camellia seeds to obtain qualified camellia seeds, and cleaning the camellia seeds to remove impurities. In this embodiment, the specific steps for pretreating the camellia seeds are: drying and screening the picked camellia seeds, and then cleaning the screened camellia seeds to obtain qualified camellia seeds. When cleaning, it is necessary to completely remove rotten, insect-infested, moldy seeds and fruit shells, stones, stalks and other impurities.

[0033] Step S102: Crush the air-dried camellia seeds in a low-temperature environment to obtain camellia seed powder of a specific size;

[0035] In a specific embodiment, step S102 includes: placing the air-dried camellia seeds in a temperature environment of ≤30°C for crushing treatment to obtain camellia seed powder with a size of ≤0.2 mm. In this embodiment, crush the camellia seeds in an environment where the temperature is lower than or equal to 30°C, and screen the size of the camellia seed powder to ≤0.2 mm. During the air-drying process, it is necessary to constantly monitor the temperature of the current environment to ensure that the temperature is always lower than or equal to 30°C.

[0036] Step S103: Steam the obtained camellia seed powder, and then perform physical pressing on the steamed camellia seed powder to obtain crude oil;

When the moisture content and temperature content of the camellia seed powder are respectively less than or equal to the moisture threshold and temperature threshold, load the camellia seed powder into a vertical hydraulic oil press and perform physical pressing at room temperature. Specifically, the moisture threshold is 8%, and the temperature threshold is 70°C.

[0048] Step S105: Use a pneumatic oil filter to perform secondary filtration on the preliminarily filtered crude oil at room temperature to obtain finished camellia oil.
