Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine animal lipid extraction technology, specifically relating to a method for real-time extraction of Antarctic krill oil based on low-temperature plasma technology. Background Technology

[0002] Antarctic krill is one of the species with the largest biomass in the Antarctic Ocean, with a current resource estimated at 650 million to 1 billion tons, possessing extremely high development potential. Antarctic krill is rich in protein, lipids, and active ingredients. Antarctic krill oil, extracted from krill, is characterized by its main active components: ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids, and natural astaxanthin. Studies have shown that krill oil has a clear preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases, and its overall activity is significantly superior to fish oil, making it a more advantageous raw material for health foods.

[0003] Commercial extraction of Antarctic krill oil has formed a processing system mainly based on shipboard milling and shore-based processing. However, the core technology has inherent limitations, especially in the protection and preservation of heat-sensitive components such as astaxanthin and phospholipids, which urgently need breakthroughs. Currently, mainstream extraction processes can be divided into three categories: organic solvent extraction, which uses solvents such as ethanol and n-hexane to dissolve lipids for efficient extraction, but the solvent recovery and refining process requires repeated high-temperature heating, which not only poses a safety hazard of trace solvent residues in the oil or shrimp powder, but also leads to the oxidation and inactivation of astaxanthin, the destruction of some phospholipid structures, and the degradation of heat-sensitive active ingredients; boiling method, which uses 95℃ high-temperature cooking to destroy the krill cell structure and release oil, and then obtains the oil phase by three-phase centrifugation. Although this method avoids the use of organic solvents, high-temperature cooking is a "destructive source" for heat-sensitive components such as astaxanthin and unsaturated fatty acids; and enzymatic hydrolysis, which uses alkaline or neutral proteases to degrade the krill protein network under mild conditions, destroying the lipid-binding structure to achieve release. This method is relatively mild, but has the drawbacks of high enzyme preparation costs and the potential generation of bitter peptides during the enzymatic hydrolysis process, which affects the flavor of the oil.

[0004] The common bottleneck in existing Antarctic krill oil extraction processes lies in their reliance on the traditional "catch-shipboard milling-shore extraction and processing" model. After being caught, Antarctic krill must be dried at low temperatures or freeze-dried on board before being transported to land-based factories for processing. The interval between harvesting and processing can be several weeks to months. During this process, despite the low temperatures, the autolytic enzymes such as proteases and lipases within the krill still slowly degrade lipids and proteins, significantly reducing the freshness of the raw material and increasing initial oxidation levels. More importantly, all current mainstream processes involve unavoidable heat treatment: organic solvent methods require high-temperature evaporation to recover the solvent and refining / degumming / bleaching; boiling methods rely on 95°C high-temperature cooking; and enzymatic hydrolysis requires heating to inactivate enzymes. These heat treatment steps directly cause astaxanthin oxidation and inactivation, damage to phospholipid structures, and accelerated oil oxidation, severely restricting the improvement of Antarctic krill oil quality.

[0005] To address the challenges of transporting and preserving Antarctic krill, immediate in-situ processing after harvesting is crucial to minimizing the time between catch and processing. This maximizes the freshness and stability of active ingredients, fundamentally resolving issues such as lipid oxidation and quality deterioration caused by autolytic enzyme activity, prolonged transportation, and high-temperature processing. Therefore, a new method for the immediate extraction of Antarctic krill oil is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Given the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as difficulties in transporting and preserving Antarctic krill, reliance on shore-based processing, and a lack of onboard oil extraction technology, which leads to easy deterioration of active ingredients and limited quality of krill oil, the present invention aims to provide a novel method for on-site extraction of Antarctic krill oil. This method achieves on-site processing of Antarctic krill and high-activity preparation of krill oil by implementing an efficient, low-temperature krill oil extraction process in situ on fishing vessels, while maintaining high retention rates of active ingredients such as ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and astaxanthin, and high-quality characteristics of the oil. This invention not only overcomes the technical limitations of traditional shore-based processing due to decreased raw material freshness and heat treatment leading to loss of active ingredients, but also significantly improves the overall utilization efficiency of Antarctic krill resources, promoting the development of the krill oil industry towards on-site, high-activity, and high-value production.

[0027] Verification Implementation Examples Performance testing of krill oil The krill oil obtained from the examples and comparative examples was tested according to the following methods, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0028] (1) Aroma evaluation: Ten people who are sensitive to the flavor of krill oil were randomly selected. A 10 mL oil sample was taken and the oil was stirred and smelled. The overall flavor of the oil sample was evaluated. The flavor sensory score was: 1-weak; 2-obvious; 3-medium; 4-strong; 5-strong. The evaluation result was the average score of the 10 volunteers.

[0029] (2) Determination of each component: The content of EPA and DHA in shrimp oil was determined according to GB 5009.168-2016 Determination of total fat, saturated fat (acid) and unsaturated fat (acid) in food. The hydrolysis extraction-gas chromatography method was used to determine the content of EPA and DHA in shrimp oil.

[0030] (3) The method for determining oxidative stability is as follows: The Schaal oven accelerated method was used. Under light-protected conditions, an iodine flask containing 100g of Antarctic krill oil was placed in a constant temperature drying oven at (62±1)℃. Samples were taken every 2 days to determine the peroxide value (POV) to evaluate the oxidative stability of Antarctic krill oil. The determination of POV value was carried out in accordance with the national standard GB / T5009.227.

[0031] (4) The extraction rate is determined by the percentage of the extracted oil by mass of Antarctic krill.

[0032] The results are shown in the table below. The extraction rate is expressed as %, POV is expressed as g / 100g, phospholipids, DHA, and EPA are expressed as g / 100g shrimp oil, and total astaxanthin is expressed as mg / kg.

[0033] Table 1 Evaluation Results of Antarctic Krill Oil Indicators Experimental results show that the present invention, through direct immediate processing of the raw materials after harvesting and the use of infrared-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis combined with hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane filtration, effectively avoids the problems of enzyme activity degradation and lipid oxidation and quality deterioration caused by traditional long-term storage and transportation. The resulting krill oil exhibits significantly reduced oxidation and improved stability, with a marked increase in key functional components compared to the comparative example. Comparative Example 1, lacking enzyme inactivation treatment, resulted in poor oxidative stability due to residual enzyme activity and a high POV value. Comparative Example 2, without infrared-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis, produced an off-odor. Comparative Example 3, using silk cloth filtration instead of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane filtration, resulted in a yellowish final product with trace precipitation and a bitter taste.
