[0002] Walnuts, belonging to the Juglans genus of the Juglandaceae family, are known as the king of woody oilseeds and rank first among the world's four major dried fruits. As a major walnut producer and consumer, China produced 4.15 million tons of walnuts in 2017. Walnut shells are waste left after walnut processing or consumption. Assuming walnut shells account for 30% of the total walnut weight, walnut shell production in 2017 was approximately 1.245 million tons. Previously, walnuts were sold as dried fruit, making their shells difficult to recycle. However, many walnuts are now processed for further use, and the resulting large amounts of shells are often discarded or incinerated, resulting in significant resource waste and environmental pollution. Therefore, how to fully develop and utilize walnut shell resources and tap their potential value, thereby achieving an organic balance of economic, ecological, and social benefits, is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.

[0003] Currently, walnut shells are primarily used for the preparation of activated carbon, extraction of brown pigments, filter media in filters, and the production of wood vinegar. Existing studies have also found that walnut shells contain a variety of active substances, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and glycosides, which have antioxidant, antibacterial, lipid-lowering, and anti-tumor effects. Enzyme preparations refer to biological products with catalytic functions that have been purified, processed, and supplemented with auxiliary ingredients. They are primarily used to catalyze various chemical reactions in the production process and have the characteristics of high catalytic efficiency, high specificity, mild reaction conditions, reduced energy consumption, and reduced chemical pollution. However, research on enzyme preparations specifically for walnut shells has not yet been reported. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an enzyme preparation product specifically for the efficient extraction of active ingredients from walnut shells. Summary of the Invention
