Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of refining technology of diglyceride camellia seed oil, specifically relating to a method for preparing diglyceride camellia seed oil with high vitamin A content. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia seed oil, derived from the seeds of the camellia plant, is widely used as an edible vegetable oil in traditional Asian cooking. Multiple studies have shown that camellia seed oil offers numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, cardiovascular disease prevention, tumor growth inhibition, and Alzheimer's disease prevention. These benefits are closely related to the abundant fatty acids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and other bioactive components in camellia seed oil, as well as trace amounts of vitamin A. Therefore, camellia seed oil has significant potential for development in functional foods.

[0003] In recent years, with the increasing demand from consumers for healthy and functional foods, the food and condiment industry has been developing rapidly. Diacylglycerol, as a potential healthy and functional oil alternative, has received widespread attention. As a natural oil component, diglycerol is present in many vegetable oils, but its content is usually no more than 10%. Currently, the main preparation processes for diglycerol oil are enzymatic hydrolysis and enzymatic glycerolysis, both of which require esterification reactions at temperatures between 55 and 65°C.

[0004] Deodorized tea oil distillate contains a small amount of vitamin A, approximately 0.05-0.3%. After refining and deodorizing, the vitamin A content in tea seed oil is approximately 0.5-1 mg / kg. During the glycerol esterification reaction, due to the high esterification temperature and long reaction time, the vitamin A content in the diglyceride oil is lost. However, vitamin A is crucial for various physiological functions, including vision, reproduction, the immune system, epithelial cell differentiation, and normal bone growth and development. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to night blindness, weakened immunity, and stunted growth; vitamin A deficiency is a global health concern.

[0005] In conclusion, how to increase the vitamin A content in diglyceride oil while simultaneously improving its extraction rate has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0017] This invention provides a method for preparing camellia seed oil with high vitamin A content diglyceride, comprising the following steps: Cellulose was extracted from camellia seed cake, and the resulting camellia seed cake cellulose was nano-processed to obtain nanocellulose. The nanocellulose and graphene are combined to obtain a nanocellulose / graphene composite material of camellia seed cake.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The refining process of diglyceride camellia seed oil in this invention is simple, convenient, and safe. In the esterification process, only enzymatic glycerolysis is required at 30-45℃. Compared with the traditional glycerolysis esterification process, it can not only reduce the esterification temperature, shorten the esterification time, and increase the esterification rate of diglycerides, but also significantly reduce the loss of vitamin A during esterification, thereby increasing the vitamin A content in the diglyceride oil and improving the quality of the diglyceride camellia seed oil.

[0019] (2) When the present invention uses the camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene composite material as the glycerol adsorbent, the glycerol is adsorbed onto the composite material, which significantly reduces its influence on the stability and activity of lipase. At the same time, the adsorbed glycerol participates in the glycerolysis reaction through slow release, which also reduces the coverage of the lipase active site and improves the reaction efficiency of enzymatic glycerolysis.

[0020] (3) The present invention uses a composite material of camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene. The two-dimensional honeycomb structure of graphene and the nano-network of nanocellulose intertwine to form a large number of mesopores, providing abundant physical adsorption sites for glycerol molecules. At the same time, the surfaces of nanocellulose and graphene are rich in hydroxyl groups, which can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with multiple hydroxyl groups of glycerol molecules, thereby enhancing the adsorption effect.

[0021] (4) The present invention uses a fermentation medium containing deodorized distillate by mixing yeast and flavobacterium. Under the synergistic fermentation of yeast and flavobacterium, a large amount of β-carotene, a precursor for the synthesis of vitamin A, is provided, which promotes the synthesis of vitamin A. Thus, vitamin A in the deodorized distillate can be effectively enriched. This not only improves the comprehensive utilization rate of the deodorized distillate, a by-product of refining, but also effectively increases the yield of vitamin A. Attached Figure Description

Crude camellia seed cake cellulose was mixed with 30wt% H2O2 solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:30 (mass ratio of crude camellia seed cake cellulose to H2O2 solution) and oxidized. After oxidation at room temperature for 3 hours, it was disrupted in a cell disruptor at 600W for 15 minutes, allowed to stand in the dark for 12 hours, and then centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes. The precipitate was collected and washed repeatedly until the pH of the supernatant was 7. After freeze-drying at -50℃ for 24 hours, camellia seed cake cellulose was obtained. Camellia seed cake cellulose was weighed and added to deionized water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 (mass ratio of camellia seed cake cellulose to water). The mixture was stirred at 500 rpm for 30 minutes to prepare a cellulose suspension. The cellulose suspension was poured into a microfluidic feed tank at a pressure of 100 MPa and a feed temperature of 30℃, and circulated 5 times. The liquid was collected and freeze-dried at -10℃ for 6 hours to obtain nano-cellulose powder.

[0085] A 2.0 wt% aqueous solution of nanocellulose and a 2.0 wt% aqueous solution of graphene were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:10, sonicated for 30 min, and magnetically stirred for 24 h to ensure uniform dispersion. The mixture was then vacuum filtered and dried at 60 °C. After cooling to 25 °C, the mixture was frozen at -50 °C for 5 h, thawed, and refrozen. This refrozen-refrozen process was repeated three times. The sample was then freeze-dried. The freeze-drying process involved a pre-freezing temperature of -50 °C for 3 h, a first drying temperature of 0 °C for 12 h, and a second drying temperature of 30 °C for 6 h to obtain a nanocellulose / graphene composite material from camellia seed cake.

[0086] 4) Enzymatic glycerol hydrolysis: Glycerol and camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene composite material were mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 1:1. Glycerol was then adsorbed onto the camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene composite material to form a glycerol-camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene composite material. Freshly pressed camellia seed oil was added to the enzyme reaction vessel. The glycerol-camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene composite material was added at a mass ratio of 8:1. Lipozyme TL IM lipase was added to the glycerol hydrolysis reaction system at a mass ratio of 4% of the camellia oil mass. The reaction temperature was 30℃ and the reaction time was 10h. After filtration, Lipozyme TL IM lipase and camellia seed cake nanocellulose / graphene composite material were removed to obtain the esterification product. 5) Molecular distillation: After filtration of the esterification products, the resulting mixture of diglyceride camellia seed oil is subjected to molecular distillation. The first-stage distillation conditions are: temperature 150℃, vacuum degree 30Pa; the second-stage distillation conditions are: temperature 150℃, vacuum degree 30Pa; and the third-stage distillation conditions are: temperature 210℃, vacuum degree 5Pa, to obtain refined diglyceride camellia seed oil.

[0087] 6) Extraction of Vitamin A: Heat the deodorized tea oil distillate to 50°C and stir until homogeneous. Add methanol at a mass ratio of 1:2 (deodorized distillate:methanol) to the deodorized distillate, then add 3wt% concentrated sulfuric acid (3% of methanol by volume). Esterify at 55°C with constant stirring for 2 hours to remove fatty acids. After the reaction, cool to room temperature, add an equal volume of distilled water, separate the liquid and discard the aqueous phase. Wash the organic phase with water until neutral, and filter to obtain the esterified material. Add anhydrous ethanol (material-to-liquid ratio 1:1, ratio of esterified material mass (g) to ethanol volume (mL)) + 20wt% NaOH solution (8% of the esterified material mass). Saponify at 60°C with constant stirring for 1 hour, then cool to... At room temperature; transfer the saponified liquid to a separatory funnel, add an equal volume of petroleum ether with a boiling range of 30-60℃, shake for 1 min, allow to stand and separate into layers, and collect the supernatant for later use; wash the supernatant with an equal volume of distilled water until the pH reaches 7, then add 5 wt% sodium chloride (by weight of the saponified liquid), allow to stand for 40 min to dehydrate, filter and collect the filtrate for later use; concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure at 35℃ and a vacuum of 0.085 MPa to obtain the distillation product; pass the distillation product through a silica gel chromatography column, using petroleum ether and petroleum ether-diethyl ether (petroleum ether volume:diethyl ether volume = 92:8) as eluents for fractional elution, and collect the eluent; concentrate the eluent under reduced pressure at 40℃ until no solvent odor remains to obtain the vitamin A product.

[0088] 7) Adding Vitamin A: Add 4000 μg / kg of Vitamin A to the diglyceride camellia seed oil and mix thoroughly to obtain diglyceride camellia seed oil with high Vitamin A content.

[0089] Comparative Example 1 The difference between the comparative example and Example 1 is that step 2) uses a single yeast strain for fermentation, and the specific operation steps are as follows: a) The tea oil refining and deodorizing distillate was sterilized at 121°C for 30 minutes to obtain the sterilized deodorizing distillate.

[0090] b) Prepare a concentration of 1×10 8 CFU / mL yeast suspension: The preparation steps for yeast culture expansion are as follows: transfer yeast to malt extract agar medium (the composition of malt extract agar medium is 2wt%, glucose 2wt%, peptone 0.1wt%, agar 1.5wt%, and the remainder is sterile water) to obtain single colonies; then inoculate the single colonies into yeast extract peptone glucose medium (the composition of yeast extract peptone glucose medium is 2wt%, peptone 2wt%, yeast extract 1wt%, and the remainder is sterile water), and incubate at 30℃ for 24h for later use.

[0091] After the expansion culture is completed, the yeast culture solution is centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 15 min, the supernatant is removed, 10 ml of 0.9 wt% physiological saline is added, and the mixture is vortexed to mix evenly. The culture solution is then centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 5 min, the supernatant is removed, and 0.9 wt% physiological saline is added. The mixture is washed repeatedly 4 times, and finally, physiological saline is added to make up the difference and mix well. Physiological saline is used as a blank control. The absorbance of the culture solution is adjusted to 0.8 with physiological saline at a wavelength of 600 nm to prepare a yeast culture suspension. c) Inoculate the yeast suspension into the fermentation medium containing the deodorized distillate at an inoculation amount of 3% of the tea oil refining and deodorizing distillate. The fermentation temperature is 30℃ and the fermentation time is 72h to obtain the deodorized distillate fermentation product.

[0092] Comparative Example 2 The difference between the comparative example and Example 1 is that step 2) uses a single type of *Microbacterium flavonoids* for fermentation, and the specific operation steps are as follows: a) The tea oil refining and deodorizing distillate was sterilized at 121°C for 30 minutes to obtain the sterilized deodorizing distillate.

[0093] b) Prepare a concentration of 1×10 8 CFU / mL *Microbacterium flavum* suspension: The preparation steps for the expanded culture of *Microbacterium flavum* are as follows: Inoculate the activated *Microbacterium flavum* strain into *Microbacterium flavum* liquid seed culture medium (60 g / L glucose, 25 g / L peptone, 2 g / L NaNO3, 1 g / L MgSO4·7H2O, 1 g / L KH2PO4·3H2O, 1000 mL distilled water, pH 5.0, sterilized at 121℃ for 30 min), and culture on a constant temperature shaker for later use.

[0094] After the expansion culture was completed, the bacterial culture of *Microbacterium chrysogenum* was centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 15 min, the supernatant was removed, 10 ml of 0.9 wt% physiological saline was added, and the mixture was vortexed to mix evenly. The bacterial culture was centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 5 min, the supernatant was removed, and 0.9 wt% physiological saline was added. The mixture was washed repeatedly 4 times. Finally, physiological saline was added to make up the difference and mix well. Physiological saline was used as a blank control. The absorbance of the bacterial culture was adjusted to 0.8 with physiological saline at a wavelength of 600 nm to prepare a *Microbacterium chrysogenum* suspension. c) The suspension of *Microbacterium flavonoids* was inoculated into a fermentation medium containing deodorized distillate at an inoculation amount of 3% of the mass of tea oil refining and deodorizing distillate. The fermentation temperature was 30℃ and the fermentation time was 72 h to obtain the deodorized distillate fermentation product.

[0095] Standard indicator test (1) The acid value and peroxide value of the camellia seed oil with lipid-lowering function prepared in Examples 1-3 were determined, and the results are shown in Table 1: Table 1. Results of acid value and peroxide value determination of camellia seed oil with high vitamin A content prepared in Examples 1-3

[0096] As shown in Table 1, the acid value of the camellia seed oil prepared by the method of the present invention is controlled at 0.1~1.0 mgKOH / g, and the peroxide value is 0.009~0.08 g / 100g, which meets the standard of Grade 1 pressed camellia seed oil in GB / T 11765-2018.

[0097] (2) The yield of vitamin A obtained in the preparation of finished camellia seed oil in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was determined. The yield of vitamin A was calculated based on the refined and deodorized distillate of camellia oil. The yield of vitamin A = weight of vitamin A powder / content of vitamin A in the refined and deodorized distillate of camellia oil × 100%. The results are shown in Table 2. Method for detecting vitamin A content: The fermentation product or the refined and deodorized distillate of camellia oil was freeze-dried at -55℃ for 72h in a freezer and then pulverized and freeze-dried into fermentation product powder or refined and deodorized distillate powder. 10g of fermentation product powder or refined and deodorized distillate powder of camellia oil was weighed into a 250mL conical flask, 100mL of 15g / L vitamin C-ethanol solution and 25mL of 55wt% KOH solution were added, and the mixture was magnetically stirred for 45min at 53℃. The saponified solution was transferred to a 500 mL separatory funnel and extracted three times with 100 mL of petroleum ether each time. The extracts were combined and washed with water 3-5 times until neutral. The petroleum ether layer was collected and dehydrated with anhydrous Na₂SO₄. The petroleum ether was recovered under low temperature and reduced pressure until only 1-2 mL remained. The solution was then transferred to a 10 mL amber bottle, dried under nitrogen, dissolved in methanol, and brought to a final volume of 10 mL for later use. Chromatographic conditions: High performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC), Agilent 1260; column: Athena C30, length 250 mm, inner diameter 4.6 mm, particle size 5 μm; flow rate 0.8 mL / min; injection volume 10 μL; column temperature 20℃; UV detector wavelengths 325 nm and 294 nm (dual wavelengths); elution time 30 min; mobile phase: methanol:water (96:4, v / v). Standard curve for vitamin A: y = 0.0091x + 0.0223, R 2 =0.9997.

[0098] Table 2. Yields of Vitamin A obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0099] As shown in Table 2, the vitamin A yield obtained by the method of mixed fermentation and deodorization of distillate using yeast and microbacterium flavum in Examples 1-3 reached over 90%, which was significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-2. This indicates that the synergistic fermentation of the two bacteria (yeast and microbacterium flavum) can significantly improve the vitamin A yield in the deodorized distillate compared to single-strain fermentation of deodorized distillate using yeast or microbacterium flavum, thus playing a role in the efficient enrichment of vitamin A.

[0100] (3) The changes in β-carotene and vitamin A with fermentation time during the preparation of finished camellia seed oil in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were studied. The results are as follows: Figures 2-3 As shown.

[0101] Fermentation was carried out on the corresponding bacteria of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 respectively. The fermentation products (containing culture medium, deodorized distillate and bacterial cells) after fermentation for 36h, 48h, 60h, 72h, 84h, 96h, 108h and 120h were tested for β-carotene and vitamin A content.

[0102] Determination of β-carotene content: The detection method referred to the study on the mechanism of squalene inhibiting β-carotene loss during silage fermentation of alfalfa silage. The specific steps were as follows: The fermentation product was freeze-dried at -55℃ for 72h in a freezer, and then pulverized and freeze-dried into fermentation product powder. 2g of fermentation product powder was accurately weighed into a 100mL Erlenmeyer flask, and 15mL of 10wt% vitamin C solution, 15mL of methanol, 35mL of anhydrous ethanol, and 10mL of KOH aqueous solution were added sequentially. The mixture was then saponified in a water bath at 80℃ in the dark for 30min. After cooling to room temperature, 35mL of the saponified solution was transferred to a 50mL centrifuge tube, 3mL of heptane and 1mL of distilled water were added, and the mixture was shaken well. The mixture was centrifuged at 3500r / min for 5min, and then another 3mL of heptane was added, and the mixture was shaken well. After centrifuging at 3500r / min for 5min, 1mL of the supernatant was used to determine the β-carotene content. β-carotene content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an Inertsil ODS-4 column at 45℃. The mobile phase was methanol-acetonitrile solution (methanol:acetonitrile = 9:1), the flow rate was 2 mL / min, and a DAD detector was used. β-carotene was detected at a wavelength of 450 nm. The standard curve for β-carotene was: y = 57869x - 23457, R0 2 =0.999 (x: concentration μg / mL, y: peak area).

[0103] from Figures 2-3 It can be seen that during the fermentation process, the β-carotene content in the fermentation products corresponding to Examples 1-3 showed a significant increase followed by a stabilization and then a slight decrease over time. In contrast, the β-carotene content in the fermentation products corresponding to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 showed a slow increase followed by a stabilization and then a slight decrease over time. Furthermore, the β-carotene content in Examples 1-3 was higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-2 throughout the entire fermentation process. This indicates that only when yeast and *Microbacterium flavonoids* are fermented together can the synthesis of β-carotene be effectively promoted, resulting in a significantly higher increase in β-carotene content compared to fermentation by yeast or single-strain *Microbacterium flavonoids*.

[0104] from Figure 3It can be seen that the vitamin A content in the fermentation products corresponding to Examples 1-3 also showed a significant increase followed by a slight decrease. The vitamin A content in the fermentation products corresponding to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 did not increase significantly, and showed a slight decrease after 72 hours of fermentation. This phenomenon may be due to the cell death phase and the rapid consumption of nutrients, which causes vitamin A to be consumed as a substrate, resulting in a greater consumption of vitamin A than synthesis, ultimately leading to a decrease in vitamin A content.

[0105] Furthermore, throughout the fermentation process, the vitamin A content in Examples 1-3 was higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-2, indicating that the co-fermentation of yeast and flavobacterium significantly increased the vitamin A content in the fermentation product compared to single-strain fermentation. This may be related to the fact that the co-fermentation of yeast and flavobacterium increased the β-carotene content, thereby promoting the synthesis of vitamin A.

[0106] (4) Camellia seed oil was prepared according to the steps of Example 1. The effect of the inoculation amount of different yeast and flavobacterium suspensions on the vitamin A yield was studied. The inoculation amounts of yeast and flavobacterium suspensions were 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, and 8%. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0107] from Figure 4 It can be seen that as the inoculum amount of the mixed yeast and flavobacterium increases, the yield of phytosterols first increases and then plateaus, showing a significant downward trend after the inoculum amount reaches 6%. This may be because excessive inoculum amount generates a large amount of metabolic waste, which negatively affects the growth of yeast and flavobacterium and also affects the yield of phytosterols. The staining degree shows a trend of first decreasing, then plateauing, and then increasing. Considering the trends of both, the preferred inoculum amount is 2-6%, and the optimal inoculum amount is 3%.

[0108] Table 3. Effects of yeast and *Microbacterium flavonoids* suspension inoculum size on vitamin A yield.

[0109] (5) Camellia seed oil with diglycerides was prepared according to the steps of Example 1. The effects of fermentation time of different yeast and flavobacterium suspensions on vitamin A yield were studied. The fermentation times of yeast and flavobacterium suspensions were 24h, 48h, 60h, 72h, 84h, 96h and 108h. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0110] As shown in Table 4, with the extension of fermentation time of the mixed yeast and flavobacterium tumefaciens, the vitamin A yield first increased and then leveled off, showing a significant downward trend after 96 hours. This phenomenon may be due to the decline of the microbial cells, which hinders the synthesis of vitamin A in the fermentation product. In addition, the nutrients in the later stage are rapidly consumed, causing vitamin A to be consumed by the microbial strain as a substrate. This leads to a decrease in the vitamin A content in the fermentation product after 96 hours of fermentation, ultimately resulting in a significant decrease in the vitamin A yield. The preferred fermentation time is 48-96 hours, and the optimal fermentation time is 72 hours.
