The invention relates to the technical field of
natural product extraction and bionic preparations, and provides a method for extracting
curcuma oil from fresh turmeric, a
curcuma oil microcapsule and application. The method comprises the following steps: S11, adding pretreated fresh turmeric into an extraction solution, and shearing and crushing; s21, adjusting the pH value of the extracting solution, adding a compound
enzyme system, and then carrying out ultrasonic enzymolysis; s31, adjusting the pH value of the enzymatic
hydrolysate, and then inactivating and filtering to obtain a first filtrate and filter residues; s41, adding a
density gradient medium into the first filtrate, then carrying out low-temperature
centrifugal separation, collecting upper-layer cream, and resuspending to obtain primary
emulsion containing
curcuma oil; s51, adding a surfactant into the primary
emulsion, adjusting the pH value, and filtering to obtain a second filtrate; and S61, centrifuging the second filtrate at low temperature, collecting the upper-layer cream, and resuspending to obtain the curcuma
oil emulsion. The curcuma oil obtained by the invention has the advantages of high
solubility, high stability, high
bioavailability and the like.
