This invention provides a method for the separation, purification, and
aroma quality control of biosynthesized
patchouli essential oil, belonging to the field of daily chemical product purification technology. It solves the technical problems of low separation efficiency, insufficient purity, easy destruction of heat-sensitive components, and low
aroma matching in existing essential oils. This method uses metabolically engineered brewer's
yeast fermentation broth as
raw material, sequentially undergoing pretreatment, multi-stage countercurrent extraction, three-stage high-
vacuum distillation,
column chromatography purification,
activated carbon decolorization and deodorization,
aroma component recombination, and product stabilization to obtain high-purity
patchouli essential oil with high aroma matching. This invention is adapted to the three-stage
distillation process of biosynthetic systems, achieving efficient separation of solvents, sesquiterpenes, and
patchouli alcohol, resulting in high purity; the product aroma has a high matching degree with natural Indonesian essential oils; the process is mild throughout, can be stably scaled up from small-scale to
ton-scale, and is low-cost. This invention provides a complete, efficient, and green technical solution for the industrialization of natural fragrances derived from
synthetic biology.
