Abstract

The present invention relates to a removal method of caffeine from tea polyphenol by supercritical carbon dioxide. Food-grade CO2 is adopted; the food-grade CO2 is converted into supercritical CO2 by pressurization and is used as an extraction solvent. Firstly, raw material tea polyphenol is placed into a supercritical extraction kettle; after CO2 is driven into the supercritical extraction kettle, the raw materials are sufficiently soaked under the condition of high voltage CO2; then, extraction is carried out by a continuous extraction way; the caffeine is selectively extracted by selecting technical parameters, such as temperature, pressure, time, etc., according to the theory that polyphenol substances, such as catechin in the tea polyphenol, etc., and the caffeine have different dissolvability in the supercritical CO2. Accordingly, tea polyphenol products which do not have residual solvent and have a low caffeine content can be obtained. Accordingly, the caffeine from tea polyphenol can be used for the aspects, such as high-grade food antioxidants, health foods, medicines, etc.

Description

Remove the method for caffeine in the tea-polyphenol with supercritical co
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that removes caffeine in the tea-polyphenol, relate in particular to and a kind ofly remove the method for caffeine in the tea-polyphenol, adopt supercritical CO with supercritical co 2Be solvent, remove the caffeine in the tea-polyphenol, obtain the tea-polyphenol product of low caffeine content.Belong to tea products deep processing field.
Background technology
Tea-polyphenol (Tea polyhenols) is a kind of polyphenolic compound that extracts from tealeaves.Nearest studies show that, that tea-polyphenol has is anticancer, radioprotective, anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, effect such as antibacterial, has important use to be worth at protective foods, aspect medical.Yet directly the tea-polyphenol product that extraction obtains from tealeaves generally contains the caffeine about 2%~10%.Excessive caffeine may influence the physiological system of human body, shows lather, insomnia, easily wakes up, diarrhoea, headache and cardio palmus shape.Medicines and health protection with the tea-polyphenol product in requiring product, must not detect hazardous solvent residual, special requirement content of caffeine<1% also.At present, the method for acquisition low caffeine content tea-polyphenol mainly contains ion precipitation method, absorption method and supercritical fluid extraction.(Hubei chemical industry such as Yuan Hua, the third phase in 2000,12-14) utilize the ion precipitation method to prepare the tea-polyphenol of low caffeine content, according to tea-polyphenol can be with the metal ion co-precipitation not with the character of caffeine co-precipitation, in the water extract of tealeaves, add metal ion, form tea-polyphenol-precipitation by metallic ion thing, filtration obtains throw out, add acid dissolving, use the organic solvent extraction tea-polyphenol, obtain content of caffeine after the precipitation drying less than 1% tea-polyphenol product.This method operation is loaded down with trivial details, and product exists organic solvent and the residual problem that exceeds standard of metal ion; United States Patent (USP) (5,702,747) adopts the caffeine in the activated carbon fiber absorption removal green tea water crude extract, but caffeine is resolved relatively difficulty again from activated carbon fiber, make the utilization ratio of carbon fiber not high, and the products production cost increases.Patent (86103112) " is removed the method for caffeine in the tealeaves " and is adopted supercritical CO 2Directly caffeine is removed in extraction from tealeaves, is raw material but do not relate to the tea-polyphenol, removes wherein caffeine.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is at above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, provide a kind of and remove the method for caffeine in the tea-polyphenol with supercritical co, obtain the tea-polyphenol product of noresidue solvent, low caffeine content, technical process is simple, is suitable for suitability for industrialized production.
For realizing such purpose, the present invention adopts food-class CO 2, be converted into supercritical CO by pressurization 2As extraction solvent.Earlier tea polyphenol raw materials is put into supercritical extraction reactor, squeeze into CO 2Make raw material at high pressure CO 2Down fully dipping extracts in the continuous extraction mode then, by selecting processing parameters such as temperature, pressure, time, according to polyphenol substance such as catechin in the tea-polyphenol and caffeine at supercritical CO 2The principle of different solubility, selectively caffeine is extracted, obtain the product of low caffeine content.
Method of the present invention comprises raw material dipping and circulation two steps of extraction, and is specific as follows:
(1) raw material dipping: tea polyphenol raw materials is put into supercritical extraction reactor, squeeze into CO with high-pressure pump 2Press 8~30MPa to still, the still temperature is made as 32-55 ℃, closes high-pressure pump, pressurize, makes raw material at high pressure CO 2Middle static dipping 0.5-2 hour.
(2) circulation is extracted: open the extraction kettle terminal valve, start high-pressure pump, keep still pressure, temperature-resistant, CO 2Flow velocity be made as 10~40kg/h, the temperature of separator is made as 40-50 ℃, pressure 4-7MPa, continuous cycling extraction raw material in extraction kettle-separator-extraction kettle extraction loop, after 1~4 hour, collect the tea-polyphenol product that obtains low caffeine content at extraction kettle.
Caffeine is at supercritical CO 2In solubleness bigger than polyphenol substances such as catechins, thereby at first be extracted out, enter separator because separator pressure is lower, caffeine is precipitated out in separator, is enriched in the separator bottom, CO 2Then become gas again and turn back to the extraction that extraction kettle carries out next round; Polyphenol substances such as the catechin in the tea-polyphenol are still stayed in the extraction kettle.After the extraction, can collect the tea-polyphenol product that obtains low caffeine content from extraction kettle.
Tea-polyphenol of the present invention refers to the green tea water crude extract of different catechin content.
The CO that the present invention adopts 2After can becoming liquid through refrigeration earlier, inject extraction kettle by high-pressure pump again.
Adopt method products obtained therefrom content of caffeine of the present invention 0.3%~1%.This product noresidue solvent can be used for aspects such as gourmet food antioxidant, protective foods, medicine.Technology of the present invention is simple, and compliance with environmental protection requirements is suitable for suitability for industrialized production.
