The invention provides a production method for extracting VE and
sterol from a
soybean oil deodorized distillate by using an
enzyme-
chemistry combined technology. The method comprises the steps of firstly, converting fatty acids in the deodorized distillate into
fatty acid methyl ester by using
immobilized lipase as a catalyst, then, carrying out an ester exchange reaction on the material by using
sodium methylate as a catalyst so as to convert glyceryl esters and
sterol esters in the deodorized distillate into
fatty acid methyl ester, glycerine and
sterol, carrying out
water washing to remove the glycerine, carrying out cooling, crystallizing and filtrating so as to obtain crude sterol, and carrying out
distillation, thereby obtaining the
fatty acid methyl ester and the VE. According to the method, the
esterification reaction is carried out by replacing strong acid with the
lipase, the fatty acids in the deodorized distillate are converted into the
fatty acid methyl ester under mild conditions, no
wastewater is generated, the operation is simple, no environmental
pollution is caused, industrialization is easy to achieve, the yield of the
fatty acid methyl ester and the sterol is remarkably increased; and through an
enzyme method and a chemical method, the VE with relatively high purity and the crude sterol are finally obtained.
