Abstract:

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) were separately used to extract oil from peach kernel in order to improve the comprehensive utilization of by-products about peach. The extraction process was optimized by single factor and orthogonal test. The physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition, structure of main functional groups, thermodynamic properties and flavor of oil were determined to evaluate the oil quality from different extraction methods. The results showed that the oil yield of 49.23% was obtained under optimum extraction conditions of extraction time 25 min, extraction temperature 75℃, microwave power 400 W and liquid to material ratio of 11:1(mL:g) by MAE. The oil yield of 48.56% was obtained under optimum extraction conditions of extraction time 40 min, extraction temperature 75℃, ultrasonic power 500 W and liquid to material ratio of 11:1(mL:g) by UAE. Although the extraction yield of the two methods was slightly lower than that of Soxhlet extraction (51.87%), the extraction time was significantly shortened, and the extraction efficiency was significantly improved.The physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition, structure of main functional groups, thermodynamic properties and flavor of peach kernel oil obtained by MAE and UAE were not significantly difference from oil obtained by Soxhlet extraction. Peach kernel oil mainly contained oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid. The content of oleic acid and linoleic acid were very abundant in peach kernel oil, and the sum of them was above 93%.

Key words: peach kernel oil, microwave-assisted extraction(MAE), ultrasonic-assisted extraction(UAE), physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition
