Methods Cellulase and pectinase solution was used as the extraction solvent. The effects of p H value of enzyme, amount of complex enzyme, dissociation time, and enzymatic hydrolysis temperature on the extraction results were investigated. Results The optimal conditions were obtained as follows: ratio of solid to liquid(g:mL) 1:10, pH value 4.5, amount of complex enzymes 4%, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature 50oC, and reaction time 2.0 h. Under these conditions, the extraction yield of galanthamine was 0.0294%. In addition, D-001 cation exchange resin was selected for separation of galanthamine. The separation conditions were that adsorption flow rate was 3 BV/h with reagent of pH2 and the desorption flow rate was 3 BV/h with 70% ethanol solution containing 1.5 mol/L ammonia. After separation, the content of galanthamine was increased to 12.31%. Conclusion The results provide a reference for industrial production of galanthamine.展开更多

文摘Peanut oil is widely favored for its pleasant flavor and nutritional value.However,conventional processing techniques often lead to the loss of micronutrients in peanut oil and yield a product with a monotonous flavor profile.This study examined the impact of various combined biological pretreatments of peanut germination and enzymatic hydrolysis on peanut oil,with an emphasis on the improvement of its physicochemical properties,nutritional quality,and flavor profile.It was demonstrated that the nutrient composition and flavor profile of peanut oil could be remarkably enhanced by moderate germination combined with enzymatic hydrolysis.The total phenolic content in peanut oil was increased by approximately 5-fold(from 27.53 to 153.54 mg/kg),and the resveratrol content was enhanced from 0.25 mg/kg to 0.57 mg/kg.Furthermore,the combined treatment resulted in approximately a 10-fold increase in total volatile content(from 3343.87 to 54,761.83μg/kg)compared with the untreated.Pyrazines,furans,and aldehydes were the predominant volatile compounds contributing to the desirable flavor of the treated peanut oil.Notably,2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4Hpyran-4-one and phenylacetaldehyde were identified as key contributors,primarily imparting caramel-like notes to the treated peanut oil.This study offers a viable strategy for producing premium peanut oil with optimized nutritional and sensory profiles.
