[0010] 4. Haematococcus culture method, microalgae such as: Haematococcus, Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, Scenedesmus, Chlorella, snow algae and other green Both can synthesize astaxanthin, among which Haematococcus pluvialis is the microalgae with the highest astaxanthin content, and its breeding conditions are relatively strict and the cost is relatively high
Because hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and other substances need to be added in this process, it not only increases the cost, but also affects its food safety, and its wall breaking rate is 75-80%, which limits its application value
[0014] 2. Enzymatic hydrolysis and wall breaking method: the process is: feed liquid—add biological enzyme and stir to break the wall—centrifugal separation—spray drying. The disadvantage is that the enzymatic hydrolysis treatment takes a long time, generally takes several hours, and the wall breaking rate At about 85%, the loss rate of astaxanthin is about 25%, and the loss is large

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting astaxanthin, which is finished by taking a rhodotorula or microalgae feed liquid containing the astaxanthin as a raw material, and performing separation, drying, crushing wall-breaking processes to the feed liquid. The method comprises the following concrete steps: the raw material is separated first to produce a mashed material with the water content less than or equal to 90 percent; the mashed material is dried to produce feed powder with the water content of between 5 and 10 percent; then an airflow crushing method is adopted to crush the feed powder to particles with diameters less than or equal to 10mu m. In the method, the drying is performed first and then the wall-breaking is performed, so the loss of the astaxanthin is reduced; the airflow crushing method is adopted, and has high wall-breaking rate and short wall-breaking time (only 1 minute or so), the temperature is between 20 and 30 DEG C during the wall-breaking process, and avoids the loss of the astaxanthin due to high-temperature oxidation; and the loss rate of the astaxanthin is less than or equal to 10 percent, and the wall-breaking rate is more than or equal to 90 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting astaxanthin, in particular to a method for extracting astaxanthin from red yeast or microalgae feed liquid. Background technique [0002] The chemical name of Astaxanthin is 3,3'-dihydroxy-4,4'-diketone-β-carotene, and its molecular formula is C 40 h 52 o 4 , the relative molecular mass is 596.86, and its structural formula is as follows: [0003] [0004] It is a ketocarotenoid containing two hydroxyl groups (—OH) and two keto groups (=0). It is an oxygen-containing organic compound with a red color, insoluble in water, and easily soluble in most organic solvents. [0005] Astaxanthin has a strong antioxidant function, can remove free radicals produced by ultraviolet radiation in the body, regulate and reduce the harm caused by photochemistry, and has a good curative effect on skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays. The protective effect of astaxanthin against fat oxidation under certain conditi...
