The invention discloses a
haematococcus pluvialis exopolysaccharide and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method of the
haematococcus pluvialis exopolysaccharide comprises the step that the exopolysaccharide in
haematococcus pluvialis liquid which is cultured for 30 days or above in low light is extracted through an
alcohol precipitation method, specifically, the
haematococcus pluvialis liquid which is cultured for 30 days or above in low light is collected, and the
haematococcus pluvialis exopolysaccharide is obtained. Carrying out centrifugal treatment on the
algae liquid, and collecting supernate; adding absolute ethyl
alcohol into the collected supernate to enable the final concentration of the ethyl
alcohol to reach 70%-80%, standing in a refrigerator at the temperature of 4 DEG C overnight, centrifuging the supernate containing the ethyl alcohol, and collecting precipitate; adding 200mL of
purified water into the precipitate, and then carrying out auxiliary
dissolution under an ultrasonic condition; and finally, centrifuging again, collecting a faint yellow
extracellular polysaccharide solution, and freeze-
drying to obtain the
haematococcus pluvialis extracellular polysaccharide dry powder. According to the haematococcus pluvialis exopolysaccharide prepared by the method disclosed by the invention, the accumulation of
astaxanthin in haematococcus pluvialis cells can be remarkably accelerated, the yield of
astaxanthin produced by large-scale commercial culture of haematococcus pluvialis is favorably improved, and the economic benefit is obviously improved.
