Real-time online monitoring technology for sweeping frequency ultrasound (SFU) assisted extraction of amur grape (Vitis amurensis) seed oil

Abstract

Sweeping frequency ultrasound (SFU) was used to assist extraction of amur grape (Vitis amurensis) seed (AGS) oil. Extraction conditions and physicochemical properties were optimized and analyzed under different extraction methods. Meanwhile, frequency and time domains were online monitored during SFU assisted extraction of AGS oil. PVDF piezoelectric sensor was used in time domain, and the hydrophone in frequency domain, so as to obtain the time–voltage waveform, signal power, spectrum distribution and other visual models. Physical models of the spatial peak acoustic intensity, charge quantity and work done by electric field force under different ultrasonic conditions were derived. The mathematical model between the work done by electric field force and the spatial peak acoustic intensity under the working state of PVDF piezoelectric sensor was constructed. Results show that the content of AGS oil by SFU assisted extraction was higher than that by organic extraction. Furthermore, the optimal single-frequency was 40 kHz and dual-frequency was 28/33 kHz, and SFU extraction time of 30 min was suitable with higher oil yield of 16.70 % and 16.94 %, respectively. In addition, the selection and combination of SFU also affected the oil oxidation degree. The peak voltage, spatial peak acoustic intensity, signal power and work of electric field force at 28/33 kHz were all higher than those at 40 kHz.
