Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of plant extraction, and particularly relates to a method for extracting Torreya grandis aril essential oil by combining enzymolysis with subcritical solvent extraction. BACKGROUND

[0002] Torreya grandis is a unique and precious economic dry fruit tree species in China, mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi, and Shaoxing City in Zhejiang Province is the main producing area of Torreya grandis, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Torreya grandis". The fruit of Torreya grandis is composed of aril, testa and edible seed kernel, and the aril of Torreya grandis is a layer of flesh structure wrapped outside the Torreya grandis fruit, accounting for 50%-60% of the mass of fresh fruit. At present, the utilization rate of Torreya grandis aril is low, and it is usually discarded as waste, which pollutes the environment and causes waste of resources. However, Torreya grandis aril is rich in volatile oil, lignan, flavonoids, Torreya grandis ester, terpenes and other active substances, and has biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, antitussive and insect repellent, and medicinal functions, which is a natural raw material for extracting medicinal active essential oil and spice products.

[0003] Low-temperature subcritical extraction technology is a new type of extraction and separation technology, and the whole extraction process is carried out under low temperature and low pressure conditions, which can maximize the retention of heat-sensitive functional ingredients in natural products; at the same time, through the selection of extraction solvent, the efficient and accurate extraction link of substances is realized. At present, low-temperature subcritical process has been applied to food, medicine and other fields. The combination of Torreya grandis aril and subcritical extraction technology has important significance for the development and utilization of Torreya grandis aril.

[0004] In the prior art, before subcritical extraction of Torreya grandis aril, the Torreya grandis aril is usually shredded, the purpose is to increase the contact area with the extraction agent, which helps the extraction agent to uniformly and effectively penetrate the plant cells, so as to improve the extraction efficiency. However, the simple shredding treatment method has very limited improvement on the extraction efficiency, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the background art, the application provides a method for extracting Torreya grandis aril essential oil by combining enzymolysis with subcritical solvent extraction, which can ensure that the solvent can more uniformly and effectively penetrate and extract essential oil components, and further improve the extraction rate of essential oil components.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme of the application is as follows:

[0007] A method for extracting Torreya grandis aril essential oil by combining enzymolysis with subcritical solvent extraction, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1, beating fresh Torreya grandis aril to obtain pulp;

[0011] S4, performing subcritical butane extraction on the ground powder obtained in S3 to obtain the Torreya grandis seed coat essential oil.

[0012] Further, in S2, the complex enzyme solution is prepared by dissolving a mixture of pectinase, cellulase and hemicellulase in a phosphate buffer solution with pH = 5.

[0013] Further, in the complex enzyme solution, the hemicellulase and pectinase are each 100,000 u / g, and the cellulase is 50,000 u / g, and the addition amount of the complex enzyme solution is 0.2% of the slurry.

[0014] Further, in S3, the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion compound is prepared as follows:

[0015] A1, weighing 40 g of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, placing it in a 1000 mL conical flask with a plug, adding 500 mL of distilled water and 0.4 g of a complex surface modifier, stirring and dissolving at room temperature to obtain a modified dextrin dissolution solution;

[0016] A2, adding 10 mL of oxalic acid dropwise to the modified dextrin dissolution solution obtained in A1, stirring at room temperature for 2.5 hours, then refrigerating at 2-5 DEG C for 24 hours, filtering after the precipitation is complete, and drying in a desiccator to obtain the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion compound.

[0017] Further, the complex surface modifier is prepared as follows: mixing alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and succinic anhydride according to a mass ratio of 0.5-0.8:1, stirring at a speed of 100-120 r / min in a water bath at 40-55 DEG C for 1 h, and cooling to room temperature to obtain the complex surface modifier.

[0018] Further, the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is prepared as follows:

[0019] A11, dissolving 12 g of purified β-cyclodextrin in 100 mL of a 3% NaOH aqueous solution, slowly adding a mixed solution of 5.2 mL of propylene oxide and 80 mL of acetonitrile under the condition of an ice water bath at 2-5 DEG C and a stirring speed of 50-60 r / min, continuing the addition for 2 h, and then maintaining the reaction for 22 h to obtain a reaction solution;

[0020] A12, neutralize the reaction solution with 5 mol / L hydrochloric acid, then rotary evaporation to dryness at 45℃, then dissolve in 20 mL of N, N-dimethylformamide, suction filtration, remove NaCL, then pour the filtrate into 200 mL of acetone, stir vigorously, produce white precipitate, suction filtration, repeatedly wash the precipitate with acetone 3 times, get fluffy white powder, vacuum drying at 40℃ for 24h, get 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.

[0021] Further, in A11, the preparation method of the purified β-cyclodextrin is as follows: dissolve 60g of β-cyclodextrin in 300mL of deionized water, heat to boiling, after the β-cyclodextrin is completely dissolved, hot suction filtration, then the filtrate is placed in 2-5℃ ice water bath, with a glass rod, rapid and vigorous stirring, make β-cyclodextrin crystallization, then suction filtration, get β-cyclodextrin crystal; repeat 3 times, finally put the obtained β-cyclodextrin crystal into a vacuum drying oven, dry at 45℃ for 24h, get purified β-cyclodextrin.

[0022] Further, in S4, the pressure of the subcritical butane extraction is 0.2-0.6Mpa, the temperature is 30-50℃, the extraction time is 30-120min, and the extraction times is 2-4 times.

[0023] Further, in the subcritical butane extraction, the mass ratio of the grinding powder used in each extraction to butane is 1:3-20.

[0024] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1, beating can release the oil components in the aril of Torreya grandis, prepare for the subsequent extraction process; using complex enzyme solution for enzymolysis can deeply damage the cell wall, so that the essential oil is more easily extracted; in the process of freezing and grinding, the enzymolysis product is first treated by a freezing slicer, and then ground to obtain grinding powder, which can refine the material and increase the surface area, which is beneficial to improve the extraction efficiency and increase the yield of essential oil.

[0026] The addition of modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion can form many and uniform pores and concave-convex structures on the grinding powder, further increase the specific surface area, and make butane more easily penetrate and extract essential oil components, thereby improving the extraction rate of essential oil components.

[0027] 2, in the components of the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion, oxalic acid has strong coordination and corrosion, which can coordinate and corrode the enzymolysis product to form voids and concave-convex structures; 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as a derivative of cyclodextrin has the characteristics of internal hydrophobic and external hydrophilic, its hydrophobic cavity can better embed oxalic acid molecules to form stable inclusion;

[0028] The addition of the composite surface modifier can form micelles or vesicles and other self-assembly structures in the aqueous solution. The presence of these structures helps to form a more ordered structure in the aqueous solution, and on the other hand, interacts with the hydrophobic cavity of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, so that the cavity is partially opened to form a gap, thereby changing the inclusion behavior of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, promoting the formation efficiency and structural stability of the oxalic acid inclusion complex of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, and better forming a modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion complex with a hollow cage shape.

[0029] The hollow cage-shaped coating of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin on oxalic acid molecules enables it to form pores and concave-convex structures on the grinding powder in a multi-site manner, avoids the occurrence of concentrated local corrosion, and ensures that relatively uniformly distributed pores and concave-convex structures can be formed on the grinding powder.

[0099] S4, the ground powder obtained in S3 was subjected to subcritical butane extraction to obtain Torreya grandis aril essential oil.

[0100] Comparative Example 10

[0101] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion compound is deleted.

[0102] Specifically, the method for extracting Chinese torreya aril essential oil by enzymatic hydrolysis combined with subcritical solvent extraction comprises the following steps:

[0103] S1, fresh Chinese torreya aril is pulped to obtain pulp.

[0104] S2, a composite enzyme solution is added to the pulp obtained in S1, and enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out at about 30°C for 3h to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysate.

[0105] S3, the enzymatic hydrolysate obtained in S2 is subjected to frozen sectioning treatment using a frozen sectioning machine to obtain a sectioned sample, the sectioned sample is placed in a centrifuge tube, and then the centrifuge tube is transferred to a frozen grinder for grinding to obtain a ground powder.

[0106] S4, the ground powder obtained in S3 is subjected to subcritical butane extraction to obtain Chinese torreya aril essential oil.

[0107] Test example

[0108] In order to ensure the reliability of the comparison of test data, fresh Chinese torreya aril is uniformly pulped, and 500g of the same batch of pulp is directly taken for subsequent operation in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-9, the mass of the finally prepared Chinese torreya aril essential oil is weighed, and the yield is calculated, and the statistical results are shown in Table 1.

[0109] Table 1. Yield of Chinese torreya aril essential oil in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-9

[0110]

[0111] Result analysis: analyze Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1-10 and combine Table 1 data and Figs. 1-2 It can be seen that the enzymatic hydrolysis treatment of the composite enzyme solution on the Chinese torreya aril pulp can improve the yield of the Chinese torreya aril essential oil;

[0112] In the preparation of the composite enzyme solution, pectinase, cellulase and hemicellulase synergistically act, and any one of them is indispensable, and the absence of any one of them will lead to a decrease in the improvement effect on the yield of the Chinese torreya aril essential oil.

[0113] In the frozen grinding of the enzymatic hydrolysate to prepare powder, the addition of modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion can significantly improve the yield of the Chinese torreya aril essential oil;

[0114] In the preparation of the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion, the use of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is better than the use of β-cyclodextrin, and the inventors guess that it may be because the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin has a more uniform texture for coating oxalic acid, which is conducive to the formation of more uniform voids in size and position on the subsequent coating layer;

[0115] In the preparation of the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion, the use of the composite surface modifier is essential. If the composite surface modifier is deleted, the yield of the Torreya grandis seed coat essential oil is greatly reduced, which is almost the same as that of the Torreya grandis seed coat essential oil after the direct deletion of the modified oxalic acid hollow inclusion. The inventors speculate that this may be because 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin can form a uniform and dense outer coating layer on oxalic acid. If the composite surface modifier is not added, no pores will appear on the outer coating layer, and oxalic acid cannot directly act on the outer surface of the Torreya grandis seed coat particles, and cannot increase the specific surface area thereof.

[0116] In the preparation of the composite surface modifier, the alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and succinic anhydride synergistically act together to improve the yield of the Torreya grandis seed coat essential oil.

[0117] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present application will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0118] Furthermore, various different embodiments of the present application can also be combined in any manner, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present application, and they should also be considered as disclosed by the present application.
