The invention provides an enzymatic pretreatment assisted
curcumin extraction technology. The enzymatic pretreatment assisted
curcumin extraction technology comprises steps as follows: after 1 part of
curcuma powder is taken, ground, sieved, added with water and stirred uniformly, the mixture is subjected to water bath for 60 min and is cooled to the constant temperature of 52-58 DEG C, and
curcuma pulp is obtained; compound
enzyme comprising
cellulase,
amylase and
papain is added to the
curcuma pulp and reacts for 2-4 h, and enzymatic
hydrolysate is obtained; the enzymatic
hydrolysate is taken, added with an
ethanol solution and homogenized for 1-2 min under the condition of 8,000-9,000 r / min, and a
curcumin extracting solution is obtained; finally, a flocculant is added to the extracting solution, the mixture is stirred and filtered, a
clear liquid flows through an
activated carbon chromatographic column and is eluted with an alkaline solution, and a curcumin desorbed solution is obtained. The technology has the advantages of high extraction speed, low temperature, low
energy consumption, high yield of the effective component curcumin, stable product quality and controllable
reaction conditions, and is applicable to industrial large-scale production.
