Lycopene is easily soluble in chloroform, benzene and oil but insoluble in water, unstable to light and oxygen, and easy to turn brown after encountering iron. Therefore, when extracting lycopene artificially, the technical process used has a great relationship with the quality of the extraction. At present, we can use plant extraction equipment to extract lycopene.
Plant extraction equipment is a new technology applied to the extraction of plant active ingredients, which has the advantages of high extraction purity, high efficiency and energy saving. It can not only quickly separate and extract lycopene, but also ensure that the extraction process does not undergo phase transformation phenomena such as browning and Maillard. The application of plant extraction equipment effectively avoids the qualitative or phase change of lycopene due to the defects of traditional extraction technology, improves the utilization rate of raw materials, and the permeate can be reused, which greatly saves production costs. In the extraction process, the plant extraction equipment can also effectively remove small molecule impurities and inorganic salts to improve the extraction quality.
The plant extraction equipment adopts the MS-R process, which is suitable for a variety of raw materials with complex cell structures. Special membrane elements are used inside the equipment, which improves the extraction rate and strong anti-pollution, and can customize different membranes according to different plant raw materials. Acid and alkali resistance, simple operation, good regeneration performance, low maintenance costs, and long service life are all competitive advantages of plant extraction equipment.
Traditional plant extraction technologies, such as centrifugation, plate and frame filtration, clarifiers, alcohol precipitation, macroporous resin adsorption extraction, etc., have shown various defects in practical applications, and the emergence of plant extraction equipment has comprehensively improved these technologies, and combined with membrane separation technology, it has higher cost performance, stronger competitive advantage and better application prospects.
