[Extraction and purification process of total fatty acid in Brassica campestris pollen].

This study was aimed to optimize the extraction (CO2 supercritical extraction) process and purification (ethanol washing and decontaminating) process of total fatty acid in Brassica campestris pollen. With the extraction yield of total fatty acid as index, CO2 supercritical extraction of total fatty acid in B. campestris polle was optimized by central composite design-response surface methodology. Ethanol washing and decontaminating was done for the extract through orthogonal design with content of total fatty acid (linolenic acid amide, linolenic acid glyceride, linolenic acid and palmitic acid) as the indexes. The optimum parameters of CO2 supercritical extraction technology were as follows: extraction pressure of 35 MPa, extraction temperature of 60 ℃and extraction time of 3 h. When extract of supercritical fluid was purified by 50 times of 80% ethanol for 1.5 h, the content of total fatty acid can reach 60%. In addition, this process was stable and steady, provided reliable basis for production.
