Disclosure of Invention
The present invention provides a method for purifying ginger extract with low pesticide residue and high yield.
The invention provides a method for refining ginger extract, which comprises the following steps:
(1) Dispersing and dissolving raw ginger extract raw materials by adopting low-carbon alcohol to obtain a first feed liquid, wherein the raw ginger extract raw materials are ginger extracts obtained by extracting ginger by adopting supercritical carbon dioxide;
(2) The pH value of the feed liquid I is adjusted to be 12-13, and after full reaction, the pH value is adjusted to be 5-6, so that feed liquid II is obtained;
(3) Concentrating the feed liquid II until the concentration of the low-carbon alcohol is 15% -45%, standing at 30-50 ℃, and separating to obtain a lower layer material (oily resin);
(4) And (3) fully mixing the lower layer material with low-carbon alcohol with the concentration of 15% -45%, standing at 30-50 ℃, and collecting the lower layer.
According to the research, the problem of pesticide residues in the ginger extract obtained by extracting the ginger by using the supercritical carbon dioxide is serious, and the application requirements cannot be met, and further, according to the research, the thiamethoxam and fosthiazate can be effectively removed after the ginger extract obtained by extracting the ginger by using the supercritical carbon dioxide is firstly dissolved and dispersed and then the pH value of the ginger extract is adjusted to a specific alkaline condition for full reaction. And then adjusting the pH value of the feed liquid to 5-6, and then purifying and washing the feed liquid at a specific temperature to further remove other pesticide residues, so as to finally obtain the ginger extract with low pesticide residues.
If the pH value of the feed liquid is not within the limit of the invention when the feed liquid is fully reacted under alkaline conditions, the sufficient removal of pesticide residues and the high yield of gingerol in the product cannot be achieved. If the concentration of the alcohol solution is too low or the temperature is too low during purification and washing, the sufficient removal of pesticide residues is not facilitated, and if the concentration of the alcohol solution is too high or the temperature is too high, the yield of gingerol in the product is affected. The purification and washing conditions defined by the invention can be favorable for improving the yield of gingerol.
