The present application relates to the technical field of chemical preparations, in particular to a method for improving the
bioavailability of
astaxanthin in
phaffia rhodozyma powder and application. The present application uses composite enzymes to pretreat
phaffia rhodozyma powder, so that
astaxanthin is fully released from the cells, and then specially-made eutectic
solvent is used to efficiently extract the pretreated
phaffia rhodozyma powder, and the extraction rate can reach more than 90%. The
astaxanthin extract prepared by the present application has high
antioxidant activity and high
bioavailability, and the
DPPH free radical
scavenging rate can be up to 89.14%, the
ABTS free radical
scavenging rate can be up to 90.09%, and the
bioavailability can be up to 81.41%. In addition, the present application is simple to operate, does not need ultrasonic,
microwave and other assisted methods, has low requirements on equipment, can be suitable for industrial large-scale production, provides a feasible scheme for the green and efficient extraction of astaxanthin, and has a wide application prospect in the food, cosmetic and feed industries.
