Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention generally relates to a composition of water crocus, and more specifically, to an edible and non-bitter water crocus oil, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of using the same in food and beverages. Prior Technology
[0002] Growing concerns about population growth, climate change, and the viability of existing agricultural practices in the coming decades have spurred research and development into alternative food sources to ensure global food security in the future. Plant-based renewable sources have gained significant attention as an environmentally friendly and sustainable means of alleviating global food supply pressures.
[0003] Millettia pinnata, also known as Pongamia pinnata or Pongamia glabra, or more commonly as water peonies or karanja, is a common tree throughout Asia and a major source of future plant-based foods. The water peonies tree uses a fraction of the land required for soybean plants to produce the same amount of beans. It can grow in degraded soils and avoids the deforestation problems associated with soybeans. Water peonies also produce significantly more protein and vegetable oil per acre than soybeans. Water peonies oil extracted from its seeds provides a potentially renewable oil source comparable to soybeans for food use. However, water peonies also contain other components known in this technology to have unpleasant tastes and odors, including quercetin and quercetin seeds. It is desirable to minimize the levels of quercetin and quercetin in the oil for use as a viable food source.
[0004] The widespread use of aquamarine-derived foods is currently hindered by the lack of a method for preparing aquamarine compositions with low levels of aquamarine terpenoids and aquamarine seed extracts while maintaining high nutritional content (protein, carbohydrates, etc.) in the oilseeds. Existing methods for removing these undesirable components from aquamarine seed cake and oil are inadequate and often require harsh, destructive conditions that reduce and degrade nutrients, severely compromising the nutritional value of aquamarine. The lack of a method for manufacturing aquamarine compositions that achieves a crucial balance between preserving nutritional content and sufficiently low levels of anti-nutritional factors prevents its economic viability through large-scale incorporation into aquamarine-derived oils.
[0005] Therefore, a commercially viable approach is to obtain an edible composition from water croton oilseeds that retain the best nutritional balance, while minimizing components such as water crotonin and water croton seed extract. Summary of the Invention

Since the presence of residual solvents can affect the sensory profile of the water celery oil compositions, low levels of residual solvents in such compositions are desirable. In some variations, the water celery oil compositions manufactured according to the methods herein may be subjected to treatment techniques to remove residual solvents from or desolventize the water celery oil compositions in order to achieve the residual solvent levels described herein.
[0062] In some embodiments, the water-wheat peel oil composition contains a residual solvent. In some embodiments, the water-wheat peel oil composition contains a residual solvent, wherein the residual solvent (if present) comprises a food-grade solvent. In some embodiments, the water-wheat peel oil composition contains a residual solvent, wherein the residual solvent (if present) is a food-grade solvent. In some embodiments, the residual solvent is ethanol. In still other embodiments, the water-wheat peel oil composition contains residual ethanol.
[0063] In some variations, the water-wheat peel oil composition has a residual solvent of less than or equal to about 5000 ppm, less than or equal to about 4000 ppm, less than or equal to about 3000 ppm, less than or equal to about 2000 ppm, less than or equal to about 1000 ppm, or less than or equal to about 500 ppm. In some variations, the water-wheat peel oil composition has a residual solvent of less than or equal to 5000 ppm, less than or equal to about 4000 ppm, less than or equal to about 3000 ppm, less than or equal to about 2000 ppm, less than or equal to about 1000 ppm, or less than or equal to about 500 ppm, wherein the residual solvent (if present) is a food-grade solvent.

Any suitable method or technique known in this art can be used to determine the residual solvent content in the compositions described herein. In some variations, the residual solvent is determined by AOCS Cg 4-94. Peroxide and para-methoxyaniline values
[0064] In some variations, the water hyacinth oil composition can be further characterized by the level of oxidation products present in the oil. When exposed to oxygen and / or heat, fats and oils may undergo oxidation reactions, which impart an undesirable rancid odor to the oil. As detailed above, the method of the present invention for producing water hyacinth oil compositions provides a means of removing or reducing the amount of present furan flavonoids and other unsaponifiables. Existing methods for removing these components typically utilize harsh conditions, such as highly caustic alkalis and extreme temperatures (e.g., reflux).
[0065] In contrast, the method presented herein employs milder temperature and solvent conditions to treat crude water croton oil to remove furan flavonoids and other unsaponifiables. Therefore, the water croton oil compositions obtained herein exhibit lower furan flavonoid content, lower unsaponifiables content, and minimal oxidation.
[0066] The degree of oxidation can be characterized by the presence and concentration of initial oxidation products that can form during initial oxidation and secondary oxidation products that can form during the decomposition of initial oxidation products with broader oxidation. The degree of initial oxidation can be assessed by measuring the peroxide value (in milliequivalents per kilogram), which is an index used to quantify the amount of hydroperoxides present in the oil. The degree of secondary oxidation can be assessed by measuring the para-methoxyaniline value. The peroxide value and para-methoxyaniline value are combined to provide a complete representation of oxidation in the oil.
[0067] In some variations, the water hyacinth oil composition has a peroxide value of less than or equal to about 5 meq / kg, less than or equal to about 4 meq / kg, less than or equal to about 3 meq / kg, less than or equal to about 2 meq / kg, or less than or equal to about 1 meq / kg. In some variations, the water hyacinth oil composition has a peroxide value of less than or equal to about 5 meq / kg. Any suitable method or technique known in this art can be used to measure the peroxide value in the compositions described herein. In some variations, the peroxide value is determined by AOCS test method AOCS Cd 8-53.
[0068] In other variations, the water-wheat peel oil composition has a p-methoxyaniline value of less than or equal to about 15, less than or equal to about 12, less than or equal to about 10, less than or equal to about 7, less than or equal to about 5, less than or equal to about 4, less than or equal to about 3, or less than or equal to about 2. In some variations, the p-methoxyaniline value of the water-wheat peel oil composition is less than or equal to about 10. In some other variations, the p-methoxyaniline value of the water-wheat peel oil composition is less than or equal to about 5. Any suitable method or technique known in this art can be used to measure the p-methoxyaniline in the compositions herein. In some variations, the p-methoxyaniline value is determined by AOCS test method AOCS Cd 18-90. Thermal and physical properties
[0069] The aquamarine oil composition provided herein can be further characterized by its thermal and physical properties. A range of applications and uses for different fats and oils are largely determined by the thermal and physical behavior of the fats and oils under certain temperature conditions for specific applications. The thermal and physical behavior of fats and oils is, in turn, largely influenced by their fatty acid profile. As described above, the method provided herein for producing aquamarine oil compositions with reduced concentrations of aquamarine terpenoids, aquamarine seed extract, and other unsaponifiables is compared with other methods in this art that can adversely affect the fatty acid content and the profile of the resulting oil (e.g., lower fatty acid yields, less healthy or less functional balance).

In some variations, the water-based wampee oil composition is liquid at room temperature. In other variations, the water-based wampee oil composition is semi-solid at a temperature of about 0-10°C. In some variations, the melt profile is determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
[0072] In other embodiments, the water-based yellow skin oil composition of the present invention can be characterized by its solid fat content at a given temperature. For example, in some embodiments, the solid fat content of the composition is between about 1% and about 10% at temperatures of about 0°C, about 2°C, about 5°C, or about 10°C. In some variations, the composition has a solid fat content between about 1% and about 10% at a temperature of about 5°C.

In some variations, the dropping point is determined by AOCS test method AOCS Cc 18-80.
[0074] In some embodiments, the water-wheat peel oil composition may be characterized by its flash point.

In some embodiments, the water-wheat peel oil composition has a flash point of at least about 200°C, at least about 220°C, or at least about 240°C. Any suitable method or technique known in this art may be used to measure the flash point of the compositions herein. In some variations, the flash point is determined by AOCS test method AOCS Cc 9b-55.
[0075] In some embodiments, the smoke point of the water hyacinth oil composition can be characterized by its smoke point. The smoke point of an oil is the temperature at which the oil begins to produce continuous visible smoke under specified conditions. Oils with higher smoke points may have enhanced efficacy in food-related applications, such as horizontal frying or pan-frying, deep frying, or baking (where high temperatures are common). In still other embodiments, the water hyacinth oil composition has a smoke point of at least about 180°C, at least about 190°C, at least about 195°C, at least about 200°C, or at least about 210°C.

[Method for analyzing the composition of water croton oil] []
[0096] High concentrations of quercetin and quercetin found in the oil and seed cake obtained from *Phellodendron amurense* seeds render them inedible due to their unpleasant taste and odor, as well as potential toxicity, and are generally not used in food oils and seed cakes. These compounds can render the oil and seed cake inedible and may be harmful to humans and animals. Previous attempts to develop edible *Phellodendron amurense* compositions have not been entirely successful because consistent maximum acceptable limits for quercetin concentrations and other antinutritional compounds have not been established. Furthermore, existing methods for analyzing *Phellodendron amurense* compositions are inaccurate and unreliable, requiring significant effort to assess quercetin concentrations, let alone determine maximum acceptable concentrations. Therefore, more precise methods for determining the content of quercetin and other antinutritional compounds present in *Phellodendron amurense* compositions are still needed.
[0097] This invention addresses this need by providing methods for analyzing compositions of water fern seed oil, specifically methods for determining the concentrations of water fern epidermine and other intrinsic compounds in water fern seed oil, which offer greater accuracy and precision compared to existing methods. Therefore, in some samples, this invention provides methods for analyzing the concentrations of water fern epidermine and / or water fern seed extract in water fern seed oil using solvent extraction analysis.

Example
[0135] The subject matter of this invention will be better understood by referring to the following examples, which are provided as illustrative rather than limiting examples. [Example] [1] [Characteristics of Water-Yellow Skin Oil] []
[0136] This example provides a general scheme for characterizing water-yellow skin oil. The schemes provided herein and illustrated in Figure 1 are for characterizing crude oil and purified oil, as described in the following examples (including Example 2).
[0137] A sample of water frangipani oil was combined with acetone to prepare an extraction mixture. The extraction mixture was then sonicated to extract a liquid fraction containing water frangipani extract and / or water frangipani seed extract from the oil. This liquid fraction was injected into an HPLC column equilibrated with 40% acetonitrile for component analysis. Table 1 below summarizes the HPLC-DAD setup used. [surface] [1] Overview of Alkaline HPLC-DAD Setup [Table of contents] [describe] tower Agilent Poroshell C18, 4.6×100 mm, 2.6 µm Tarvin 35 ± 0.5℃ Moving phase A HPLC grade water Moving phase B Acetonitrile Sealed washing 90:10 Water: Acetonitrile Needle washing solution 90:10 Acetonitrile:Water Needle washing time 6 seconds (Flush Port) Flow rate 0.800 mL / min Injection volume 1.0 µL Signal A wavelength 304 nm (bandwidth 4 nm) Signal B wavelength 350 nm (bandwidth 4 nm)
[0138] Once the sample extract is loaded onto a C18 column equilibrated with 40% acetonitrile, while maintaining a flow rate of 0.8 mL / min, the relative concentration of acetonitrile (i) increases linearly to 90% over 18 minutes, (ii) remains at 90% for 4 minutes, (iii) decreases linearly to 40% over 1 minute, and (iv) remains at 40% for 2 minutes, as outlined in Table 2 below. [surface] [2] [.] Dissolution program [time] [(min)] [flow] [(mL)] [A] [(%) [B] [(%) [Flow rate] [(mL / min)] 0 0 60 40 0.8 18 14.4 10 90 0.8 twenty two 17.6 10 90 0.8 twenty three 18.4 60 40 0.8 25 20 60 40 0.8
[0139] Aquacinolone dissociation was observed at approximately 9.6 minutes, corresponding to a relative acetonitrile concentration of approximately 67%. Aquacinolein dissociation was observed at approximately 14.4 minutes, corresponding to a relative acetonitrile concentration of approximately 80%. Based on spectral analysis of the dissociated fractions of aquacinolone and aquacinolein, the ppm concentrations of each component were determined. [Example] [2] [Batch manufacturing of water croaker bark oil] []
[0140] This embodiment demonstrates the production of edible (e.g., non-bitter) water wampee oil via liquid extraction: liquid extraction of crude (e.g., bitter) water wampee oil. Water wampee triterpenoids, water wampee seed extract, and possibly other anti-nutritional factors and / or bitter compounds are removed from the water wampee oil after pressing, yielding a purified oil product. [Laboratory-scale batch manufacturing] []
[0141] Edible water hyacinth oil was produced in a laboratory-scale manner. Water hyacinth oil, filtered through diatomaceous earth and pressed using a press, was used to remove solids or solid waste. The crude water hyacinth oil was then mixed with fresh 95% ethanol (5% water) in 50 mL tubes at a fixed volume ratio as indicated in Table 3. The mixture was heated to approximately 65°C and stirred for 30 minutes, then allowed to stand and the solvent (ethanol) layer was decanted. It should be understood that the mixture may be heated to maintain it several degrees below the boiling point of the solvent and / or to limit the loss of solvent vapors. The remaining liquid was cooled to 20°C and allowed to stand. The solvent layer was decanted again, and the remaining oil underwent the same process twice more, mixed with fresh 95% ethanol at a fixed volume ratio.
[0142] The extraction coefficient indicates the ability of an extraction solvent to extract target impurities from a given feedstock (e.g., crude water-yellow peel oil in this case). The extraction coefficient is calculated as follows: Extraction coefficient = (Concentration of impurities in the extract residue / Concentration of impurities in the feed)
[0143] This laboratory-scale experiment explored different solvent-to-oil ratios and demonstrated that the extraction coefficient depends on the solvent-to-oil ratio, as outlined in Table 3 below. [surface] [3] [.] Extraction coefficient (EC) used in large-scale batch extraction methods.

[0144] Large-scale batch extraction was also performed according to the procedure illustrated in Figure 2. Water-rich yellow skin oil, filtered through diatomaceous earth and pressed using a press, was used to remove solids or waste. Subsequently, the oil was mixed with fresh 95% ethanol (5% water) at a solvent-to-oil mass ratio of 5:1 in a 400 L stainless steel container equipped with a propeller-type stirrer. The mixture was heated to 65°C and stirred for 30 minutes, then allowed to stand and the solvent (ethanol) layer was decanted. It should be understood that the mixture may be heated to maintain it several degrees below the boiling point of the solvent and / or to limit solvent vapor loss. The remaining liquid was cooled to 20°C and allowed to stand. The solvent layer was decanted again, and the remaining oil, starting from a mixture with fresh 95% ethanol at a solvent-to-oil mass ratio of 5:1, underwent the same process twice more.
[0145] In each extraction round, the content of quercetin in the oil layer, as detected by the analytical method described in Example 1 above, decreased from 2342 ppm to 650 ppm, then to 192 ppm, and finally to 54 ppm. Similarly, in each extraction round, the content of quercetin in the oil layer decreased from 11935 ppm to 2306 ppm, then to 516 ppm, and finally to 91 ppm. The average extraction coefficient for quercetin was 0.2, and the average extraction coefficient for quercetin was 0.28. After all three extraction rounds, the quercetin oil was found to have no bitter taste, and the contents of quercetin and quercetin were both less than 100 ppm. Table 4-8 below summarizes the various compositions and characteristics of the edible quercetin oil produced in this example.
[0146] The analytical methods described in Example 1 above were also used to characterize hydroflavin and hydroflavin seed extract in the crude oil and purified oil of this example. In large-scale batch manufacturing, HPLC chromatography revealed the removal of furan flavonoid compounds. Figures 3A and 3B also compare the removal of furan flavonoids and other chemicals from the edible oil in the crude oil and purified oil of this example.

[0154] This example describes a continuous countercurrent method for producing edible water-based wampee oil from crude water-based wampee oil that is mechanically separated, and generally follows the exemplary system illustrated in Figure 4.
[0155] Edible water fern oil is produced by continuous liquid-liquid extraction of filtered crude water fern oil at 96% ethanol. The liquid-liquid extraction equipment includes a forced-stirring disc column, in which crude oil and solvent streams at 70°C enter the column at the top and bottom, respectively. The raffinate (heavier oil layer) exits the column at the bottom, and the lighter solvent layer exits the column at the top. The column includes multiple physical stages equal to the theoretical number of stages, and multiple additional stages to account for deviations from the theoretical oil / solvent equilibrium conditions. The amounts of water fern epidermine and water fern seed extract present in the raffinate exiting the column at the bottom are measured according to the analytical method described in Example 1 above. When the raffinate contains less than 150 ppm of water fern epidermine and / or water fern seed extract and the solvent percentage at the mixing temperature corresponds to the liquid-liquid equilibrium composition of ethanol and water fern oil, the raffinate is cooled (e.g., by means of a cooling tower; CTWS = cooling tower water supply; CTWR = cooling tower water return) and the solvent is further separated from the oil in the decanter and decanted. Any remaining solvent is then stripped away by vacuum steam in a stripping tower.
[0156] The lighter solvent layer leaving the top of the column is conveyed to an evaporator, where the solvent evaporates from the oil under vacuum. The solvent from the evaporator is condensed and further purified in an ethanol distillation column to remove any accumulated water vapor, achieving 95% ethanol purity. The purified ethanol is then recycled back to the liquid-liquid extraction column. The solvent-free oil from the solvent recovery evaporator contains impurities removed from the crude oil. Additional oil is recovered from the residual oil stream by further distillation. Impurities from the oil are separated and concentrated in a liquid stream using oil as a solvent and stored for further processing. [Example] [4] [Batch manufacturing of water croton oil and sensory evaluation of water croton oil]
[0157] The embodiments of the present invention describe in detail the batch production of purified water-based yellow peel oil by liquid-liquid extraction.
[0158] The crude water-yellow peel oil used in this embodiment of the invention was obtained from the same crude oil sample (crude water-yellow peel oil, Example 2) provided in Example 2, or from the pressing of water-yellow peel soybeans (crude water-yellow peel oil, Example 4). The crude water-yellow peel oil of Example 2 was used as the initial oil for purified oil samples #1-#3. Purified water-yellow peel oil sample #1 was the same as the sample obtained in Example 2.
[0159] The extraction tank system consists of a stainless steel reactor vessel with a conical bottom and a top-mounted vertical shaft, along with four mounted propeller-type agitators. The vessel is equipped with sealed internal coils for heating or cooling, for example, using steam. [ , ]
[0160] Table 11 below shows the process parameters used to obtain different purified water-based samples of yellow peel oil. [surface]

[0161] First Wash: First, transfer the crude water flavone oil to the extraction tank, followed by ethanol (5 times the weight of the crude oil). Once the crude oil and ethanol have been added, begin stirring. For test operations where the target temperature for extraction is higher than ambient temperature, heat the tank contents to the target temperature (e.g., 70°C). Once at the desired temperature, stir the contents of the tank for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, stop stirring and allow the oil and solvent to separate into non-dispersed states for approximately 3-5 minutes. The oil from the first wash is then carefully decanted from the ethanol in the tank, and the consumed ethanol is discharged from the tank. Repeat the washing procedure twice more. After the first, second, and third washes, collect samples of the washed oil and the used ethanol to monitor the water flavone and water flavone seed extract content, peroxide value, and p-methoxyaniline value during the extraction process.
[0162] Decanting and Desolvation: Once the required number of washes has been completed, the oil obtained from the final wash is decanted and desolvated. The oil obtained from the final wash is placed in a container and immersed in a hot water bath (45°C) for at least 5 minutes to induce phase separation; then the oil and ethanol are separated by decantation. After decantation, the decanted oil is desolvated for the first 90 minutes using a rotary evaporator (rotary evaporator) with a water bath set at 55°C until no more condensate (ethanol) droplets are observed, and then for a second 90-minute period at 60°C until no more condensate (ethanol) droplets are observed.
[0163] Following extraction, the contents of quercetin and quercetin, residual solvent content, sensory characteristics (including taste and odor), peroxide value, and p-methoxyaniline value of the purified water quercetin oil samples were analyzed. Table 12 shows the quercetin content, quercetin content, peroxide value, and p-methoxyaniline value of the final purified water quercetin oil samples obtained from each treatment round. [surface]

[0164] The intrinsic flavor of water-wampee peel oil involved six individuals. Participants were asked to evaluate each oil sample based on color, turbidity, odor, taste, and overall acceptability. For taste and odor assessment, participants freely chose to analyze their flavor by blind tasting each purified water-wampee peel oil sample and specifying the attribute they considered best to describe the flavor of each oil sample.
[0165] Samples #1-3 were found to be pale yellow, turbid, and odorless. Common descriptive terms appearing in the taste profiles of these purified water-wheat peel oil samples in free choice analysis are: pure, nutty, smooth, creamy, and pure. Additional descriptive terms include no bitterness, characteristic water-wheat peel taste, and a faint grassy taste. Table 13 below summarizes the sensory characteristics of water-wheat peel oil samples obtained from various process rounds. [surface]

[0166] This example describes a continuous countercurrent method for producing edible water frangipani oil from crude water frangipani oil obtained through mechanical separation. Temperature and the ratio of solvent to crude water frangipani oil are considered. The final water frangipani content, color, odor, and taste of the purified water frangipani oil sample are evaluated.
[0167] Edible water citrus oil was produced by continuous liquid-liquid extraction of filtered crude water citrus oil under ethanol. The liquid-liquid extraction equipment was operated using one of two types of forced-pump stirred tray towers. For both tower types, the tower was first filled with solvent at the desired solvent flow rate to the feed inlet. Next, crude oil was fed into the tower at the desired rate. Once a junction was established in the bottom detachment chamber, bottom discharge was initiated and controlled by adjusting the bottom removal rate. After one tower conversion (total tower volume divided by combined feed and solvent flow rates), the tower agitation was adjusted to increase the desired stroke / speed. Agitation was set before two tower conversions. The tower was operated a total of five (5) conversions before the sampling and extraction stages of the raffinate. Before sampling, the extract and raffinate rates were manually obtained by the operator. After the first operation, and after adjusting the variables specified by the engineer, a total of three (3) conversions were performed before sampling for each round. The solvent to feed (S / F) ratio and volume were adjusted by increasing or decreasing the feed and solvent inlet rates. Temperature adjustment is achieved by increasing or decreasing the temperature of the hot oil to the feed and solvent preheater, and by adjusting the temperature of the heating element on the tower.
[0168] The amounts of aquamarine and aquamarine seed extract present in the extract residue leaving the bottom of the column were measured according to the analytical method described in Example 1 above. Table 14 below shows the process parameters and the observed K+P. As explained below, it was observed that process rounds (#4-#7) performed at 25°C did not achieve sufficient removal of aquamarine and aquamarine seed extract for downstream use. However, for process rounds (#8-#15) performed at this high temperature, substantial removal of aquamarine and aquamarine seed extract occurred, reaching undetectable levels in some cases. [surface]
