Abstract: Bee pollen was treated with supercritical CO2. The cell wall of the pollen was broken by fast decreasing the pressure and the effect of pressure was investigated through SEM. The difference of fatty acid composition between cell wall-broken rape pollen oil and the control was investigated. The results demonstrated that the wall-broken rate increases when the pressure goes up. The fatty acid composition displays significant difference between cell wall-breaked rape pollen oil and the control. The procedure is under low temperature, with short wall-broken time. So the process is a promising and ideal method for breaking cell wall.

Key words: bee pollen, cell wall-broken, supercritical CO2, fatty acid composition
