The invention discloses a catalytic
infrared pretreatment method for improving
soybean oil quality by inactivating
lipoxygenase, and relates to the technical field of agricultural product and
food processing. The method comprises the following steps: cleaning and removing impurities from an air-dried soybean
raw material, irradiating the soybean
raw material under catalytic
infrared rays (the
power density is 7.89 kW and the
wavelength is 4-18 microns), and controlling the temperature of the
infrared rays irradiated to the surface of the soybean
raw material to be 90-130 DEG C and the
treatment time to be 3-9 minutes, so as to obtain a pretreated soybean raw material; squeezing oil by using a screw oil press to obtain virgin soybean
crude oil; removing impurities through physical
filtration to obtain pure
soybean oil; through the innovative design of catalytic infrared pretreatment and parameter optimization, the inactivation rate of
lipoxygenase is as high as 96.16%, the oil yield is as high as 16.67%, 0.97% and 11.99 mg / mL, the content of
sterol and
polyphenol is as high as 16.67%, 0.97% and 11.99 mg / mL, all indexes are far better than those of traditional hot
air heating and
microwave heating treatment, and the
grease quality and functional component protection are remarkably improved.
