The invention belongs to the technical field of oil extraction and purification, and provides
acer truncatum seed oil for improving memory and an extraction and purification method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: freezing
acer truncatum seeds, crushing to obtain the
acer truncatum seeds, and adding the acer truncatum seeds into
butane containing a surfactant for subcritical extraction; adding an
aqueous solution containing
ammonium sulfate and
chitosan for back extraction, and separating to obtain an oil layer, a
water layer and a precipitate; mixing the
water layer and the precipitate, adding compound enzymes (flavourzyme and beta-
glucanase) for enzymolysis, separating after enzymolysis to obtain an acer truncatum seed enzymatic
hydrolysate, removing unreacted enzymes, concentrating, and mixing with the oil layer to obtain acer truncatum seed oil; adding the acer truncatum seed oil and a catalyst into absolute ethyl
alcohol or
methanol for reaction to obtain acer truncatum seed oil
fatty acid ester; purifying through molecular
distillation; the purified product is subjected to
saponification, acid adding,
water washing and extraction in sequence, and the acer truncatum seed oil rich in
nervonic acid is obtained.
