Method for preparing maize germ oil through enzymatic degumming

The invention relates to a method for preparing maize germ oil through enzymatic degumming. Specifically, phosphatidase is employed for a degumming treatment of maize crude oil during the refining process. Then after deacidification, decoloration, dewaxing and deodorization, refined maize germ oil can be obtained. Wherein, the degumming treatment comprises acid reaction, alkali neutralization, enzyme reaction, and separation, dehydration and drying; the acid in the acid reaction is citric acid, and the enzyme in the enzyme reaction is phosphatidase. In the invention, the key technology for maize germ oil refining is overcome, and the optimum technological conditions for the enzymatic degumming of maize germ oil are optimized. The maize germ oil prepared through enzymatic degumming has the obvious advantages of: low operation temperature and low energy consumption; obviously superior quality of the obtained oil to the quality of oil prepared by traditional methods, and increased product oil yield by over 1%; reduced consumption of acid and alkali chemicals, and reduced waste water generation by 70%-90%, substantially reduced environmental protection cost and markedly improved economic benefit.
