The invention provides an extraction method for increasing the
oleuropein conversion rate and the
hydroxytyrosol content in olive
pomace, and belongs to the technical field of
natural product extraction. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the olive
pomace material, firstly, the compact structure of the olive
pomace is destroyed through
steam explosion pretreatment, and pores are loosened; then carrying out compound
enzyme enzymolysis, cooperatively hydrolyzing wrapped
binding protein by adopting acid
protease and hemicellulase in a combined manner, destroying a
polysaccharide wrapping barrier in the pomace, and promoting rapid release of
oleuropein; finally, high static pressure extraction is adopted, ultrahigh pressure is used for accelerating
solvent permeation, the conversion rate of
oleuropein is increased, and the content of
hydroxytyrosol is comprehensively increased. The method is green and efficient, the oleuropein conversion rate can be increased to the maximum extent, and the content of
hydroxytyrosol is increased; the degradation loss of hydroxytyrosol in the extraction process is reduced, and the
economic benefits of the olive pomace are comprehensively improved.
