The present invention belongs to the technical field of peony flower
processing, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a concentrated peony flower liquid rich in
aroma components and its application in flavors and fragrances. The method for preparing the concentrated peony flower liquid is as follows: the peony flowers are sequentially pre-cooled and deep-frozen, then sheared and crushed in a circulating
liquid nitrogen atmosphere, followed by
enzymatic hydrolysis using
ultrasound-assisted biological enzymes to obtain an enzymatic hydrolyzate, and finally, a product enriched liquid with a specific molecular weight is intercepted and concentrated through an
ultrafiltration membrane. The present invention pre-cools and deep-freezes the peony flowers, which not only avoids the loss of active substances such as polyphenols and
browning of the material, but also helps to maximize the retention of
aroma components in fresh petals, avoiding the problem of loss of volatile
aroma components caused by pulverization operations at high or room temperatures. The peony flower liquid finally prepared by the present invention contains rich volatile aroma components such as
linalool oxide,
citronellol, and
benzoic acid, and has broad application prospects in
skin care products and flavors and fragrances.
