Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of astaxanthin synthesis, and particularly relates to an immobilized bioenzyme and a preparation method thereof, as well as a synthesis method of astaxanthin monoester. Background Art

[0002] Astaxanthin (3,3′-dihydroxy-4,4-diketo-β,β′-carotene) is a carotenoid of the xanthophyll class, composed of eight isoprene units, and belongs to the keto-carotenoid class. It is widely found in the biological world, especially in the feathers of shrimp, crab, fish and birds of aquatic animals. In addition, some algae can also produce astaxanthin, such as Haematococcus pluvialis, which is both autotrophic and heterotrophic. At the same time, Phaffia rhodozyma, Rhodotorula glutinosus BF-6, Haemococcus, etc. can also produce astaxanthin. The production of artificially synthesized astaxanthin abroad includes Hoffmann-la roche AG in Switzerland and BASF in Germany.

[0003] Although astaxanthin is a carotenoid, some of its biological effects are much stronger than other carotenoids. Astaxanthin is a non-provitamin carotenoid that cannot be converted into vitamins in animals, but it has extremely strong antioxidant properties, can remove free radicals in the body, regulate and reduce these photochemically caused damage, and has a good therapeutic effect on skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays. Astaxanthin can also significantly promote the production of lymph node antibodies, especially the production of cell-related antigen antibodies in the body. In food, astaxanthin can not only color, but also effectively preserve freshness, prevent discoloration, taste change, and deterioration. Astaxanthin has a stronger anti-photosensitivity effect than β-carotene. The pharmaceutical and food industries use the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-promoting effects of astaxanthin as a drug to prevent oxidative tissue damage and prepare health foods. Therefore, astaxanthin has a wide range of application prospects.

[0004] In nature, astaxanthin exists in the form of free astaxanthin or astaxanthin fatty acid esters (monoesters or diesters) alone or in a mixture. Most natural astaxanthin exists in the form of astaxanthin esters. These astaxanthin esters are usually long-chain fatty acid esters, including saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid and stearic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.

[0005] Astaxanthin prepared by microbial fermentation is mainly in free state, but the free astaxanthin has hydrophobicity due to the presence of polyisoprene, which reduces its bioavailability and applicability. At the same time, since free astaxanthin has conjugated double bonds, carbon groups and hydroxyls, it has a high electronic effect, which makes it quite unstable when exposed to air, high temperature and light, thereby greatly reducing its activity and affecting the use effect. Therefore, during feed processing and storage, the pigment is easily degraded to a large extent. If astaxanthin can be converted into astaxanthin ester, it not only has the activity of astaxanthin, but also has new functions due to the introduction of new groups, such as improved hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, easy digestion and absorption, etc.

[0006] At present, astaxanthin esters are mainly synthesized by chemical methods, using organic bases such as alkali metal alkoxides as catalysts and acyl chlorides as acylating agents. The reaction process is complex and polluting. In the reaction process, astaxanthin is easily isomerized or degraded by heat and oxidation, thereby reducing the reaction yield. The separation and purification of the product is complex and the biological activity of the product is not high. Compared with the chemical method, the enzyme catalysis method for synthesizing astaxanthin esters has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high catalytic efficiency, and strong catalytic specificity.

[0007] CN104513844A discloses a method for synthesizing astaxanthin succinate using Phaffia rhodozyma as a raw material and lipase catalysis, separation and reaction coupling. The raw material used in the method is the extract concentrate before purification, and yeast lipase and acylating agent (succinic anhydride) are directly added to catalyze esterification under certain conditions to synthesize astaxanthin succinate with good stability. The process uses the extract concentrate with lower purity for esterification, which is easy to have a certain impact on the formation and stability of astaxanthin esters, and the lipase required for esterification catalysis is not modified and immobilized, and the recovery rate is not high, resulting in high cost and unfavorable for scale-up production.

[0008] CN110218308A discloses a method for preparing methoxy polyethylene glycol acetate astaxanthin ester, which uses chemically synthesized free astaxanthin or free astaxanthin from natural sources as the main skeleton, methoxy polyethylene glycol acetic acid as the acyl donor and hydrophilic group, uses a catalyst to catalyze the synthesis reaction, and then purifies to obtain methoxy polyethylene glycol acetate astaxanthin ester. In this method, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) are used as chemical catalysts, and the catalyst is removed by acid washing, alkaline washing, and brine washing in the later stage. However, the yield of astaxanthin ester prepared by using chemical catalyst is low, and there are safety issues caused by incomplete washing of chemical catalysts, astaxanthin ester is easy to isomerize during the esterification process, has low production capacity, and high cost.

[0009] Furthermore, because astaxanthin is a secondary alcohol, and there is a ketone group on the adjacent position that occupies a larger spatial position, this makes the steric hindrance of astaxanthin in the esterification process larger, and it is difficult to catalyze the esterification synthesis of astaxanthin esters using ordinary biological enzymes alone. In addition, free astaxanthin is easy to synthesize a mixture of astaxanthin monoesters and diesters during the esterification synthesis process. Since astaxanthin diesters are more lipophilic than monoesters, astaxanthin diesters are not as easy to digest and absorb as astaxanthin monoesters. At the same time, astaxanthin monoesters have better DPPH clearance and ABTS clearance rates than astaxanthin diesters. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for efficiently catalyzing the esterification synthesis of astaxanthin esters, especially astaxanthin monoesters, so that the industrial production of astaxanthin monoesters synthesized from astaxanthin becomes possible. Summary of the invention

[0010] The first object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an immobilized bio-enzyme, wherein the immobilized bio-enzyme obtained by the method can efficiently catalyze the esterification synthesis of astaxanthin monoester.

[0011] The second object of the present invention is to provide an immobilized bioenzyme prepared by the above method.

[0012] The third object of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing astaxanthin monoester using the above-mentioned immobilized bioenzyme.

[0013] Specifically, the method for preparing the immobilized enzyme provided by the present invention comprises the following steps: S1. Preparation of derived magnetic carbon carrier: an organic carrier, a phosphate and an organosilicon source are subjected to a sol-gel reaction in a hydrochloric acid solution, the obtained gel is subjected to high temperature aging to separate solid particles, the obtained solid particles are then washed with water and dried, and then the obtained silicate solid particles are immersed in an iron salt solution for solid-liquid separation, and then the obtained solid particles are pyrolyzed and carbonized to obtain a derived magnetic carbon carrier; S2. Enzyme immobilization: The derived magnetic carbon carrier is dispersed in a phosphate buffer solution, the pH value of the obtained dispersion is adjusted to 5-8 and then ultrasonically activated, and then the obtained activation solution and the biological enzyme solution are ultrasonically treated so that the biological enzyme solution is adsorbed on the carrier to obtain an immobilized biological enzyme.

[0014] The method for synthesizing astaxanthin monoester provided by the present invention comprises subjecting free astaxanthin to esterification reaction with unsaturated fatty acid in the presence of the above-mentioned immobilized biological enzyme.

[0015] The immobilized bio-enzyme obtained by the method provided by the present invention can catalyze the free astaxanthin to efficiently synthesize astaxanthin monoester, and the yield of astaxanthin monoester is relatively high. Furthermore, the present invention performs magnetic modification on the carbon carrier, embeds the magnetic species into the carrier trunk, and can effectively prepare a porous carbon carrier with stable magnetic modification. Compared with directly connecting the magnetic nanoparticles to the surface of the material through weak interactions, it can effectively avoid removing the magnetic loss caused by removing from the material during use, and solves the problems of limited stability and difficult separation in the application of bio-enzymes at the same time, and the obtained immobilized enzyme can be recycled and reused. In addition, the present invention introduces ultrasonic activation during the assimilation of enzyme fixation, which is not only conducive to the firm connection between the carrier and the enzyme, but also can prevent the carrier from agglomerating during the adsorption of the bio-enzyme, playing a dual role.

[0016] The principle of magnetic attraction of the derived magnetic carbon carrier provided by the present invention is: Fe and Si elements in the Fe-silicate on the derived magnetic carbon carrier obtained by pyrolysis and carbonization are respectively present in the form of Fe3C and silicon sulfide. The etching effect on the porous carbon material framework during the formation of these substances leads to changes in the carrier structure. Among them, the iron salt enters the pore structure of the silicate solid particles during the immersion process, and then undergoes high-temperature pyrolysis and carbonization together with the silicate solid particles. Fe 2+ It may be reduced by C and other substances in the framework of porous carbon materials and penetrate into the carbon framework to form Fe3C. The divalent S element in the iron salt (ferrous sulfate) is reduced and reacts with Si 2+ Combined to form silicon sulfide. Some O elements and C elements in the framework form volatile carbon oxides and volatilize. However, the Fe3C substance generated at this moment makes the prepared carrier magnetic and can be attracted by the magnet. The magnetic effect produced can significantly enhance the catalytic activity of the enzyme in the later stage and improve the recovery rate and reuse rate after use.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the immobilized bio-enzyme further includes the step of modifying and cross-linking the immobilized bio-enzyme to obtain an immobilized magnetic carbonized lipase, and the modification and cross-linking process includes: performing a modification reaction on the immobilized bio-enzyme and a modifier, performing a cross-linking reaction on the obtained modified immobilized bio-enzyme and a cross-linking agent, washing and drying the obtained cross-linking reaction product, and the obtained product is an immobilized magnetic carbonized lipase. At this time, by directional modification and fixation of the amino acid residues constituting the catalytic active center of the enzyme, free astaxanthin can be efficiently catalyzed and esterified to synthesize astaxanthin monoester by the enzyme, and the immobilized bio-enzyme obtained in the preparation process becomes difficult to dissolve in the reaction solution due to its immobilization and structural modification, and also promotes the reuse and recovery of the enzyme, improves the original catalytic function of the enzyme, and is more conducive to the efficient esterification of tert-butyl astaxanthin with large steric hindrance and unsaturated fatty acids to synthesize astaxanthin monoester.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The method for preparing an immobilized biological enzyme provided by the present invention comprises step S1 (ie, preparation of a derivative magnetic carbon carrier) and step S2 (ie, enzyme immobilization).

[0020] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned immobilized bio-enzyme, step S1 specifically includes subjecting the organic carrier, phosphate and organosilicon to a sol-gel reaction in a hydrochloric acid solution, subjecting the obtained gel to high-temperature aging to separate solid particles, then washing the obtained solid particles with water and drying them, then immersing the obtained silicate solid particles in an iron salt solution for solid-liquid separation, and then pyrolyzing and carbonizing the obtained solid particles to obtain a derived magnetic carbon carrier.

[0021] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned immobilized bio-enzyme, the derivative magnetic carbon carrier, as a host material, not only has a high enzyme capacity, but also has good stability and mechanical strength. The derivative magnetic carbon carrier has the characteristics of large specific surface area, high porosity, stable structure, etc., and is extremely suitable for enzyme immobilization. Specifically, the present invention first prepares mesoporous silicate solid particles, and then improves them through pyrolysis carbonization magnetic absorption, which can not only increase their porosity and pore area, but also make them have super strong magnetism.

[0022] In the preparation process of the above-mentioned immobilized bio-enzyme, since the structure of the carbon material mainly depends on covalent bonds, high-temperature pyrolysis carbonization can not only improve the chemical stability of the obtained carbon carrier, but also remove some active agents on the surface of the carbon carrier particles to make the pores of the obtained carbon carrier particles larger. The present invention makes a large-pore derivative magnetic carbon carrier by pyrolysis carbonization after impregnating the synthesized silicate solid particles with iron salts, which can increase the reuse rate of the enzyme. At the same time, a major limitation of the large-scale industrial application of immobilized enzymes is the high cost introduced by their separation and recovery. In this regard, the present invention magnetically modifies the enzyme immobilized carrier and embeds the magnetic species into the carrier backbone, so that a porous carbon material with stable magnetic modification can be effectively obtained. Compared with directly using magnetic nanoparticles through weak interactions, the derivative magnetic carbon carrier obtained by the present invention may avoid being removed from the material during use and causing magnetic loss, and at the same time solves the problems of stability limitation and separation difficulty in the application of immobilized lipase.
