Abstract

Disclosed is a method for preparing a low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil. The method includes subjecting a double low rapeseed to aroma-generating treatment, to obtain an aroma-generated rapeseed, the double low rapeseed including lower than 3 wt % of erucic acid, lower than 45 μmol/g of total glucosinolates, 6-15 μmol/g of 3-butenyl glucosinolate, and 0.4-2.0 μmol/g of 4-methylthiobutyl glucosinolate; mechanically squeezing the aroma-generated rapeseed, to obtain a crude oil; and degumming the crude oil, to obtain the low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil.

Claims (19)

1 . A method for preparing a low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil, comprising steps of

subjecting a double low rapeseed to aroma-generating treatment, to obtain an aroma-generated rapeseed, wherein the double low rapeseed contains lower than 3 wt % of erucic acid, lower than 45 μmol/g of total glucosinolates, 6-15 μmol/g of 3-butenyl glucosinolate, and 0.4-2.0 μmol/g of 4-methylthiobutyl glucosinolate;

mechanically squeezing the aroma-generated rapeseed, to obtain a crude oil; and

degumming the crude oil, to obtain the low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aroma-generating treatment comprises pressure aroma-generating treatment, microwave aroma-generating treatment, or stir-frying aroma-generating treatment.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the aroma-generating treatment is the pressure aroma-generating treatment, and the pressure aroma-generating treatment is performed at a temperature of 140-200° C. and a pressure of 0.7-1.0 MPa for 1-5 minutes.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the aroma-generating treatment is the microwave aroma-generating treatment, and the microwave aroma-generating treatment is performed at a microwave power of 400-1200 W for 4-12 minutes.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the aroma-generating treatment is the stir-frying aroma-generating treatment, and the stir-frying aroma-generating treatment is performed at a temperature of 140-200° C. for 20-40 minutes.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aroma-generated rapeseed has a water content of 3-5 wt %.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein mechanically squeezing the aroma-generated rapeseed is performed at a temperature of 130-160° C., with a processing capacity of 5 kg/(5-30) minutes, and mechanically squeezing the aroma-generated rapeseed is performed by using a mechanical squeezer at a current of 0.5-20 A.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a degumming agent used for the degumming is silicon dioxide; and

the degumming agent is in an amount of 0.2-2% of a mass of the low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising after the degumming, subjecting a degummed oil obtained from the degumming to natural sedimentation and solid-liquid separation, to obtain a liquid component of the low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil, wherein the natural sedimentation is performed at room temperature for 24-48 hours.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising after the degumming, subjecting a degummed oil obtained from the degumming to natural sedimentation and solid-liquid separation, to obtain a liquid component of the low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil, wherein

the natural sedimentation is performed at room temperature for.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the aroma-generated rapeseed has a water content of 3-5 wt %.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the aroma-generated rapeseed has a water content of 3-5 wt %.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the aroma-generated rapeseed has a water content of 3-5 wt %.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the aroma-generated rapeseed has a water content of 3-5 wt %.
