Abstract:

In order to explore the purification feasibility of α-linolenic acid from perilla oil based on molecular distillation technology, based on screening the best extraction method of perilla oil, the effects of four factors of distillation temperature, distillation pressure, scraper speed and feed speed on purification of α-linolenic acid were studied. The results show that the supercritical CO2 extraction method is the best for perilla oil, and the primary factor affecting the purity of α-linolenic acid is distillation temperature, followed by distillation pressure, feed speed and scraper speed. The optimal purification process is as follows: distillation temperature of 220℃, distillation pressure of 0.07 mbar, scraper speed of 375 r/min, feed speed of 1.0 d/min, under this process condition, the purity of α-linolenic acid could reach 97.42%. This method significantly improves the purity of α-linolenic acid from perilla oil, and could lay a theoretical foundation for the research and utilization of highly purified α-linolenic acid.

Key words: perilla oil, molecular distillation technology, separation and purification, extract method, α-linolenic acid
