Abstract:

Effects of different factors on extraction and separation efficiency of garlic oil were explored by using modern molecular distillation technology on the basis of Box-Behnken design principle and response surface analysis. The optimal extraction processing parameters were system pressure of 105 Pa, material-feeding rate of 1.2 g/min, material-feeding temperature of 40-55 ℃ and distillation temperature of 45.1 ℃. Under the optimal processing conditions, the quality of garlic oil was markedly improved, and the average yield of garlic oil was 0.476%. The content of water in garlic oil was 0.15% and the purity of garlic oil was up to 99.85%.

Key words: garlic, molecular distillation, extraction, garlic oil
