The embodiment of the invention discloses a
separation method for extracting
phycocyanin from spirulina platensis through eutectic aqueous two-phase extraction, relates to the technical field of extraction and purification of
phycocyanin, and aims at solving the problems that in the prior art, when
phycocyanin is extracted through a eutectic aqueous two-phase
system, the cost is high, the
raw material handling capacity is low, and the salt concentration is high. The
separation method comprises the following steps: extracting spirulina platensis
powder by adopting a CaCl2 solution, and carrying out
freeze thawing wall breaking treatment and centrifugal treatment on the extracted spirulina platensis
powder to obtain a crude extract containing phycocyanin; the method comprises the following steps: carrying out
ultrafiltration desalting treatment on a crude extract containing phycocyanin, adding a
deep eutectic solvent and a
sodium potassium tartrate tetrahydrate solution, uniformly mixing to obtain an aqueous two-phase
system, adjusting the pH value, uniformly mixing, vortex, standing for phase separation, centrifuging for promoting phase separation, separating an upper phase, and carrying out
ultrafiltration treatment on the upper phase to obtain filtrate of the
deep eutectic solvent component and a concentrated phycocyanin solution; the concentrated phycocyanin solution is subjected to
freeze drying treatment, and phycocyanin
powder is obtained.
