Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering and food, relates to a separation and application technology of enzyme, and particularly relates to a method for pretreating crude fish oil by an enzyme method, degumming and decoloring.
Background
In recent years, fish oil has been the most important variety of functional oils because of its rich polyunsaturated fatty acids, and has the effects of anticancer, coronary heart disease prevention, blood pressure lowering, brain development promotion, etc., and has received wide attention at home and abroad. However, the raw material, i.e. crude fish oil, has the factors of many impurities, high chromaticity, complex components and the like, so that the raw material is difficult to decolorize and degum, the process is complex, the steps are complicated, and the loss rate is high, which has become a technical problem which troubles fish oil enterprises for many years, so that the development of simple and efficient refining technology is urgently needed.
In recent decades, scientists have made a series of attempts to decolorize and degum crude fish oil, but it has been a great difficulty to develop an economical and industrially feasible process. At present, the fish oil decoloring technology mainly comprises clay, active carbon and other adsorbents for adsorption decoloring, but the technological process is complex, the equipment requirement is high, and the requirements on operators are also very high. However, the development of high-quality and low-cost decolorants leads to long time consumption of the process and large production cost and time cost. In addition, the fish oil also contains mucoid impurities such as phospholipid, and the phospholipid colloid impurities are removed by treatment with water, acid, alkali or enzyme, but the fish oil usually needs multi-step washing, so that the process is complicated, the cost is high, the color of the fish oil is easily deepened, and the pretreatment difficulty is further improved. In general, the problems of complicated process, more side reactions, high energy consumption, long time and the like of the conventional fish oil pretreatment technology severely restrict the large-scale application of the fish oil.

The method has the advantages of low energy consumption, high utilization rate of raw materials, simple process and the like.
