Abstract:

The experiment aims to use subcritical extraction technology to explore the optimal extraction condition of free gossypol in cotton kernels, and provide a basis for the industrial production of gossypol. Using high-phenol cottonseed as the raw material for extraction, the influence of factors such as the pretreatment method and the temperature, time, material-to-liquid ratio, and times of extraction on the extraction rate were analyzed, and orthogonal experiments were conducted to determine the optimal extraction condition. The results showed that in the pretreatment experiment, the extraction rate of crushed embryos through 40 mesh sieve was the highest, which was 57.6%; In the single factor experiment, the extraction rate of gossypol first increased and then decreased with the increase of temperature, reaching the highest 58.2% at 20 ℃. With the time increasing gradually, the growth of the extraction rate tended to be flat after 30 minutes, and gradually increased along with the number of extraction times, the growth tended to be flat after 4 times. The extraction rate gradually increased along with the material-to-liquid ratio, and became flat after the ratio reached 1:12. Orthogonal test results showed that the optimal condition for subcritical extraction of gossypol was: temperature at 20℃, time duration of 40 min, 4 times of extraction, and the material-liquid ratio of 1:14, under this condition, the extraction rate was 68.9%.

Key words: gossypol, subcritical extraction, single-factor experiment, orthogonal test
