Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of frying oil treatment technology, specifically a method for purifying frying oil. Background Technology

[0002] During the frying process, food undergoes hydrolysis, oxidation, and polymerization reactions due to the interaction of factors such as high temperature, moisture in the food, and oxygen. This produces polar substances such as free fatty acids, oxidized triglycerides, and oxidized triglyceride polymers. At the same time, the acid value of the frying oil gradually increases.

[0003] When the acid value and / or polar component content of frying oil exceeds hygiene standards, it needs to be discarded, resulting in significant waste. Currently, frying oil can be purified using adsorbents to reduce its acid value and polar components, bringing it back to hygiene standards for reuse; however, its lifespan is relatively short. Therefore, a method for purifying frying oil is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for purifying frying oil, which extends the service life of frying oil within safety and hygiene standards, while achieving efficient purification of frying oil.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for purifying frying oil, comprising the following steps: (1) Prepare an antioxidant component; wherein the antioxidant component is composed of stainless steel, a microporous silica layer, vitamin E and a slow-release film; (2) Place the antioxidant parts into the frying oil in advance to start the frying operation. After the frying operation is completed, take out the antioxidant parts and separate them to remove food residue and obtain coarse filtered oil. (3) Add the modified adsorbent to the coarse filter oil, heat and stir to carry out adsorption purification. After the adsorption purification is completed, take it out and filter it. The modified adsorbent is composed of activated clay and magnesium silicate.

[0006] Preferably, in step (1), the preparation method of the antioxidant component is as follows: S11, the surfactant is stirred and dissolved in a 40wt% ethanol solution, and then ammonia and tetraethyl orthosilicate are added in sequence, and reacted at 40-50℃ for 1.5-2.5h to obtain silica sol; S12, the stainless steel is immersed in the silica sol for 10-20min, and then slowly pulled up to make the silica sol uniformly adhere to the stainless steel surface to obtain pretreated stainless steel; S13, the pretreated stainless steel is first reacted at 60-70℃ for 2-3h, and then calcined at 450-500℃ for 3-4h to form a microporous silica layer on the stainless steel surface to obtain silicon-containing stainless steel; S14, the silicon-containing stainless steel is immersed in an antioxidant solution and ultrasonically treated for 1-1.5h, then dried and the obtained silicon-containing antioxidant stainless steel is immersed in an ethyl cellulose solution for 10-20min, then dried to form a slow-release film on the microporous silica layer to obtain the antioxidant component.

[0007] Preferably, in step S11, the surfactant is P123, and its ratio to the ethanol solution is 1:50 g / mL; the mass ratio of surfactant, ammonia and tetraethyl orthosilicate is 1:4:4.5.

[0008] Preferably, in step S14, the antioxidant solution is composed of vitamin E and anhydrous ethanol mixed in a mass ratio of 1:2.

[0009] Preferably, in step S14, the ethyl cellulose solution is prepared by mixing ethyl cellulose and anhydrous ethanol at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:15 g / mL.

[0010] Preferably, in step (2), the antioxidant accounts for more than 3% of the frying oil mass; in step (3), the heating and stirring is carried out at 60-80℃ for 40-50 minutes; and the modified adsorbent accounts for 2-3% of the coarse filter oil mass.

[0011] Preferably, in step (3), the modified adsorbent is prepared as follows: S21, activated clay is ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water to obtain a suspension; S22, sodium silicate solution and magnesium sulfate solution are added to the suspension by stirring, the pH is adjusted to 7.5, and stirring is continued for 1.5-2 hours to obtain a mixture; S23, the mixture is filtered, washed and dried to obtain the modified adsorbent.

[0012] Preferably, in step S21, the ratio of activated clay to deionized water is 1:5 g / mL.

[0013] Preferably, in step S22, the sodium silicate solution is prepared by mixing sodium silicate and deionized water at a ratio of 1.5:10 g / mL; the magnesium sulfate solution is prepared by mixing magnesium sulfate and deionized water at a ratio of 1:5 g / mL.

[0014] Preferably, the mass ratio of the activated clay, sodium silicate, and magnesium sulfate is 1:0.3:0.5.

[0015] This invention provides a method for purifying frying oil, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: This invention uses stainless steel as the main carrier, with a microporous silica layer covering its surface as a secondary carrier. Vitamin E is then filled into the secondary carrier, and an ethyl cellulose slow-release film is formed on its surface. During high-temperature frying, the slow-release film softens or ruptures, and the vitamin E in the microporous silica layer is slowly released into the frying oil, exerting an antioxidant effect and slowing down the decomposition time of vitamin E, thereby extending the service life of the frying oil within safety and hygiene standards. Moreover, the presence of the slow-release film can also effectively prevent the oxidation of vitamin E, allowing the antioxidant component to be stored in the air for a long time. In addition, the antioxidant component, as a whole, can be easily separated from the frying oil.

[0016] This invention utilizes activated clay, sodium silicate, and magnesium sulfate to prepare a modified adsorbent, thereby combining activated clay and magnesium silicate. Activated clay has strong deacidification and decolorization capabilities, while magnesium silicate selectively depolarizes and has low oil loss. The combination of the two can complement each other's advantages, achieving efficient purification of frying oil. Attached Figure Description
