Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most of the sterols prepared at home and abroad are 4-methyl-free sterols, which have many defects such as complex process, cumbersome process, high energy consumption, and low product yield. Sterols have not been reported in the literature
Shea butter mainly contains triglycerides, free fatty acids and 4,4'-dimethyl sterol esters, etc. The properties are relatively close, and it is difficult to separate them by pure physical methods

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting and preparing 4,4'-dimethylsterol from shea nut butter. The method comprises the following steps: taking shea nut butter as a raw material, adding a potassium hydroxide ethanol solution, carrying out saponification treatment, and a collecting saponified oily liquid; adding a solvent into the saponified oily liquid, performing layering, taking out anorganic layer, adding water for washing, and performing liquid separation to obtain a feed liquid containing 4,4'-dimethylsterol; evaporating the feed liquid containing the 4,4'-dimethylsterol at 37 DEG C under the condition of -0.09 MPa, and removing the solvent to obtain an 4,4'-dimethylsterol-enriched product; and adding a solvent into the 4,4'-dimethylsterol-enriched product, heating the 4,4'-dimethylsterol-enriched product to 60-85 DEG C for dissolving, and performing cooling and crystallizing to obtain a pure 4,4'-dimethylsterol product. The method has the advantages of simple process steps, easy solvent recovery, low energy consumption, high product purity and extraction efficiency, and capability of industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of separation engineering, and in particular relates to a method for extracting and preparing 4,4'-dimethyl sterol from shea butter. Background technique [0002] 4,4'-Dimethyl sterol is a component in the unsaponifiable matter of vegetable oil. For most vegetable oils, the content of 4-non-methyl sterol (stigmasterol, campesterol, sitosterol) in the unsaponifiable matter higher, and lower 4,4'-dimethylsterol content. The content of unsaponifiable matter in shea butter is as high as 10%, and the main content is 4,4'-dimethyl sterol. Shea butter can be used as a new food raw material, and the unsaponifiable matter resource after saponification of shea butter can be used to extract 4,4'-dimethyl sterol. The 4,4'-dimethyl sterols in shea butter include lupeol, α-amyresinol, β-amyresinol, butyryl cetyl alcohol, and mannisol. Many studies have shown that the 4,4'-dimethyl sterol contained in shea butter has th...
