The present application relates to the technical field of
lutein extraction, and provides a green extraction method of
lutein from marigold, which comprises the following steps: mixing marigold dry flower particles with deionized water to prepare
slurry, and performing high-pressure homogenization treatment to obtain pretreated
slurry; mixing the pretreated
slurry with a
deep eutectic solvent (DES) and performing countercurrent extraction under the protection of
inert gas to obtain DES extraction liquid after
filtration; preheating the DES extraction liquid and pumping it into a
continuous flow fixed-
bed enzyme reactor filled with
immobilized lipase, and performing enzymolysis reaction under constant temperature to obtain an enzymolysis liquid; sequentially treating the enzymolysis liquid through a
ceramic ultrafiltration membrane and a
nanofiltration membrane; collecting the retentate of the
nanofiltration membrane, adding preheated deionized water to the
nanofiltration retentate, and performing low-temperature standing
crystallization; and washing and vacuum freeze-
drying the obtained crystals to obtain a
lutein crystal product. Through the above technical scheme, the extraction rate of lutein is improved, and the problem of incomplete extraction caused by insufficient
cell structure damage in the traditional extraction method is improved.
