  • Patent number: 11845908
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for preparing functional grease through segmented solid-state fermentation of mixed fungi, and belongs to the field of edible oil processing. According to the disclosure, soybeans are used as a main fermentation substrate, for the requirements for different functional nutrition, the soybeans are matched with other oil seeds, fungus segmented solid-state fermentation is used and combined with a supercritical extraction fractionation technology, so that the purposes of improving the aftertaste of soybean oils and generating different flavors are achieved, and the nutritional value of the grease is improved. The fungus segmented solid-state fermentation of the disclosure can improve the oil yield, improve the fatty acid composition of the grease, and increase the content of main flavor substances such as pyrazines, alcohols and phenols, and the sensory functions such as flavor and color of the grease more meet the requirements of consumers for innovative products.

  • Patent number: 11733230
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for quickly and accurately analyzing polyphenol content in rapeseed oil, and belongs to the field of analysis of natural compounds. The separation method of the disclosure uses acetonitrile-water as an extractant to extract polyphenols from the rapeseed oil, and cooperates with a C18 adsorbent for purification, and then performs separation and purification. Compared with the traditional liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction, the method has an average recovery rate of polyphenols in the rapeseed oil of 81.31% to 102.95%, and RSDs of 0.86% to 8.03%, and has higher accuracy and precision. The method of the disclosure not only uses less organic reagents and causes less environmental pollution, but also reduces matrix interference and improves purification efficiency through optimization of the adsorbent.

  • Patent number: 11319565
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for preparing a lipoamino acid compound based on deep eutectic solvents, and belongs to the field of organic synthesis. The preparation method of the disclosure uses a fatty acid and an amino acid as substrates, uses a deep eutectic solvent as a medium, and directly and efficiently prepares a single-chain lipoamino acid surfactant under the catalysis of lipase CALB. Alternatively, Amano lipase M is used as a catalyst to efficiently catalyze the reaction of an amino acid containing a plurality of amino groups with a fatty acid to prepare a Gemini amino acid. The method of the disclosure does not need to undergo protection and deprotection of the amino acid, and does not involve commonly used fatty acid chlorides. Compared with the traditional chemical synthesis methods, the disclosure has the advantages of greenness, safety, high selectivity, high yield, etc., and has very important potential application value.
