The invention relates to the technical field of grain and oil by-product high-value utilization and food functional ingredient preparation, in particular to a
nitrogen-rich
mesoporous carbon-based
cholesterol adsorption ingredient as well as a preparation method and application thereof. According to the method,
soybean meal and rice
bran are taken as a
carbon source and an endogenous
nitrogen source, and
urea or
melamine is compounded as an exogenous
nitrogen-rich precursor, so that an internal-external synergistic nitrogen-rich
system is constructed; the method comprises the following steps: compounding a
zinc chloride or
potassium hydroxide chemical activator with a
ferric chloride catalytic graphitizing agent to form a nitrogen-rich-catalytic synergistic conversion
system; the method comprises the steps of
raw material pretreatment, nitrogen-rich
slurry preparation, catalytic activation precursor preparation and the like. The prepared carbon-based ingredient has a developed mesoporous structure and high-content alkaline nitrogen-containing functional groups, and is large in
cholesterol adsorption capacity and high in selectivity, and the raw materials are grain and
oil processing byproducts, so that the cost is low, and the carbon-based ingredient is green and environment-friendly; the preparation process has the advantages of controllable parameters and good
repeatability, is suitable for industrial production, and provides a new technical path for the development of
functional food ingredients for reducing blood fat.
