Abstract:
      In order to provide data reference for efficient extraction of tiger nut oil and deep processing and utilization of its meal, the tiger nut oil was extracted by screw pressing-leaching process. First, the effects of decortication and pressing temperature on the residual oil rate and browning degree of screw-pressed tiger nut cakes were investigated, and the process conditions of pretreatment methods (microwave, roasting, and vacuum oven) were optimized. Then, the tiger nut oil was extracted by supercritical CO2 and solvent, respectively, and the quality of tiger nut oil and its meal was compared. The results showed that the residual oil rate (11.17%) and browning degree (4.30) of the pressed cake were low after being screw pressing at 80-90 ℃ after unpeeled tiger nut being treated in a vacuum oven at 85 ℃ for 180 min. The crude fat content of tiger nut meal obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction was 1.05%, which was lower than that of solvent extraction, and its crude protein content (6.49%) and nitrogen solubility index (0.89%) were higher; the sterol, tocopherol and total phenol contents in the obtained tiger nut oil were 436.31, 26.55 mg/100 g and 15.13 mg/100 g, respectively. In conclusion, after 180 min of vacuum oven treatment of unpeeled tiger nut at 85 ℃, screw pressing at 80-90 ℃, and then supercritical CO2 extraction is a method that can not only efficiently extract tiger nut oil, but also ensure the quality of meal.
