The invention discloses a preparation method for a
pearl shell whitening factor. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) crushing clamshells, and conducting screening to obtain small-particle
clamshell powder; 2) mixing the
clamshell powder with an aqueous weak acid solution, conducting stirring and decomposing, and separating out a
solid, namely crude
protein; 3) cleaning the crude
protein with deionized water, mixing the cleaned crude
protein with a
buffer solution having a pH value of 6.0-7.5, treating the
mixed solution for 20-40 minutes at an ultrahigh pressure of 100-200Mpa and a temperature of 40-80 DEG C, and subjecting the
mixed solution and
protease to mixing and reacting for 2-7 hours at a temperature of 40-60 DEG C under ultrasonic conditions; 4) carrying outstirring for 20-50 minutes at 85-100 DEG C for
enzyme deactivation, and performing filter pressing through a filter membrane to obtain a sterile filtrate; 5) mixing a freeze-
drying protective agent with the filtrate, conducting pre-freezing, and then performing freeze-
drying in a vacuum freeze-
drying bin for 12-20 hours so as to finally obtain freeze-dried
powder with a
moisture content of 2-5%. The invention also discloses application of the
pearl shell whitening factor obtained by the method in preparation of an endothelin
antagonist. The preparation method is simple in process, and the obtained
pearl shell whitening factor is obvious in whitening effect.
