Abstract

The application provides a preparation method of a high-stability safflower yellow pigment preparation, (1) safflower powder is added into an ethanol aqueous solution containing sodium dihydrogen phosphate for extraction, the residue is repeatedly extracted, the filtrates are combined, sodium dihydrogen phosphate is added for dissolution, and the mixture is left to stand, and the upper extraction liquid is concentrated to obtain safflower yellow extract A; (2) the safflower yellow extract A is subjected to silica gel chromatography column elution, and the eluate is collected; (3) the eluate is mixed with a metal chelating agent, an antioxidant protective agent and wall material A, and concentrated to obtain safflower yellow extract B; (4) wall material B in an aqueous solution, safflower yellow extract B and an antioxidant protective agent are mixed and emulsified, and spray drying is carried out to obtain the safflower yellow pigment preparation. In the process of extracting the safflower yellow pigment, the ethanol aqueous solution containing sodium dihydrogen phosphate is combined with silica gel chromatography extraction and purification, which can effectively protect the safflower yellow from degradation in the processing process, reduce the heating time of the safflower yellow in the processing, improve the retention rate of the safflower yellow, and obtain a high-stability, high-color-value safflower yellow powder product.
