A method for preparing a high-purity
yeast β-
glucan, comprising the following steps: treating a
yeast cell wall mixed liquid by adding
amylase at a certain temperature, then adjusting the pH, and treating the mixed liquid by adding
lipase at a certain temperature; adding an alkali and a
nonionic surfactant, carrying out heating and
thermal insulation treatment, and cooling to obtain an alkali-treated liquid; washing and separating the alkali-treated liquid, adding water to a precipitate, then adding an acid to adjust the pH to 3-5, carrying out heating and
thermal insulation treatment to obtain an acid-treated liquid, and performing separation, washing, and
drying on the acid-treated liquid to obtain a
yeast β-
glucan product; and subjecting the yeast β-
glucan to a combined action of a mixed
enzyme preparation and
ultrasound to obtain an enzymatic
hydrolysate, and performing separation treatment on the enzymatic
hydrolysate to obtain an insoluble yeast β-glucan and a water-soluble yeast β-glucan, respectively. In the present invention, a high-purity yeast β-glucan product having a content of 90% or more and a water-soluble yeast β-glucan product with
biological activity can be prepared, the preparation method is simple, large-scale production can be achieved, and the quality and additional value of the product can be improved.
