Abstract

The application belongs to the technical field of high polymer substances, and particularly relates to a preparation method of astaxanthin-loaded ovomucin-pectin-epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride composite nanogel. Under stirring conditions, a pectin solution is added into an ovomucin solution; then an astaxanthin solution is added, and ultrasonic treatment is performed to obtain a mixed solution; an epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride solution is added into the mixed solution, and stirring reaction is performed to obtain a mixture; the mixture is centrifuged to obtain a dispersion liquid and a precipitate, and the dispersion liquid is dialyzed after separation to obtain the astaxanthin-loaded ovomucin-pectin-epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride composite nanogel. The application uses naturally-sourced ovomucin, pectin and epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride as raw materials, effectively avoids the use of organic solvents, and reduces the risk of organic residue; the preparation method has mild conditions and simple operation, the raw materials are widely sourced and low in price, and the application does not need complex equipment and organic solvents, and has good prospects for large-scale production and application.
