The invention discloses direct drinking tea seed oil and a preparation process thereof, and relates to the technical field of
grease processing. The method adopts a pure physical squeezing and whole-course low-
temperature treatment technology, and comprises the following steps: screening fresh tea seeds, performing low-temperature
drying treatment, and performing mechanical shelling and crushing to obtain a tea seed kernel and tea seed shell composite squeezed material in a specific proportion; and finally, obtaining virgin
grease by adopting a low-temperature physical spiral squeezing process. The obtained
crude oil is sequentially subjected to rough
filtration,
sedimentation and vacuum suction
filtration, and then is subjected to the steps of ultrasonic-assisted hydration degumming, low-temperature
winterization wax removal, vacuum low-temperature
drying and the like, so that non-
triglyceride components such as impurities,
moisture,
phospholipid and waxiness in the
grease are effectively removed. According to the process, chemical reagents are not needed, high-temperature damage and generation of harmful substances are avoided, nutritional active ingredients such as
unsaturated fatty acid,
tocopherol,
phytosterol and
squalene in the tea seed oil are effectively reserved, and the finished product oil is clear, transparent, pure in
flavor, safe, capable of being directly drunk and suitable for development of high-end nutritional oil and functional
vegetable oil.
