The invention provides a method for extracting
peanut oil and
peanut butter through an aqueous enzymatic method and belongs to the technical field of
vegetable oil and fat
processing. The method includes the following steps that 1, peanuts are subjected to
extrusion and puffing
processing after being peeled and crushed, and a puffing product is obtained; 2, water is added into an enzymolysis reaction kettle, after
steam heating is conducted, the puffing product is added, mixed liquid is obtained, after the pH of the mixed liquid is adjusted,
alkaline protease is added for enzymolysis, after enzymolysis is conducted, a horizontal
centrifuge is adopted for conducting
centrifugation, and a
liquid phase and residuals are obtained; 3, a disk
centrifuge is adopted for conducting
centrifugation on the
liquid phase, the
peanut oil and the water phase are obtained, the residuals are mixed with water after being crushed, mixed
slurry is obtained, and the mixed
slurry is subjected to heat treatment; 4, the mixed
slurry obtained after heat treatment is placed into a blending tank, then saccharose, salt, essence and
agar are added for blending, the blended slurry is subjected to homogeneity, concentration and sterilization, and the
peanut butter is obtained. The method is simple in process, low in cost and suitable for industrialized
continuous production, and the high-quality
peanut oil and the low-fat high-
protein peanut butter can be obtained at the same time.
