Medicament taking haematococcus pluvialis as raw material

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicaments or food, and discloses a medicament or food taking haematococcus pluvialis as a raw material. The medicament is characterized by comprising the following raw materials in part by weight: 50 to 500 parts of haematococcus pluvialis, and 100 to 2,000 parts of honey serving as an auxiliary material. Natural astaxanthin is obtained by washing the wall-broken haematococcus pluvialis extracted by adopting alkali ethanol. A process for the medicament is suitable for industrialized production, and meets the environment-friendly requirement and does not cause environmental pollution in the absence of Class 1 or Class 2 solvent; and the used ethanol is easily reclaimed and reutilized so as to save the production cost. Pharmacodynamical experiments show that the medicament has good effect of improving the immunity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to a medicine whose raw material is Haematococcus pluvialis. Background technique [0002] Astaxanthin is a non-provitamin A carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties. Animal experiments have shown that it has many physiological effects such as inhibiting tumorigenesis and enhancing immune function. At present, it has been widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and aquaculture industries. The content of astaxanthin (aka super vitamin E) in Haematococcus pluvialis can reach 3.0% or even higher, which is much higher than that in Phaffia rhodozyma, which is 1000-4000% in salmon meat. Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis is regarded as the "concentrate" of natural astaxanthin, which is the best biological source of natural astaxanthin. At present, Haematococcus pluvialis is recognized as the best organism for producing natural astaxanthin in nature. Therefore, the use ...

Problems solved by technology

In terms of physiological functions, the stability and oxidation activity of synthetic astaxanthin are also lower than those of natural astaxanthin. Because the hydroxyl (-OH) at both ends of astaxanthin molecule can be esterified, its stability is different. Natural shrimp More than 90% of xanthin exists in the form of esterification, so it is relatively stable. Synthetic astaxanthin exists in a free state, so the stability is different. Synthetic astaxanthin must be embedded to be stable
