The invention discloses a purification method of low-
viscosity and high-melting-point
lutein ester, and belongs to the technical field of
lutein ester purification. The purification method comprises the following steps: carrying out enzymolysis treatment on
lutein ester extract by using a complex
enzyme aqueous solution to obtain an enzymolysis reaction solution; after the
enzymatic hydrolysis reaction liquid is subjected to standing layering, taking supernatant liquid, mixing the supernatant liquid with an
alcohol solution, adding basic salt, and carrying out a
neutralization reaction to obtain a
neutralization reaction liquid; and cooling, crystallizing and filtering the
neutralization reaction liquid, taking a
crystal solid, repeatedly crystallizing twice by using an alcoholic solution, and
drying to obtain a purified finished product of the lutein ester. According to the method disclosed by the invention, sticky and low-melting-point vegetable fat components in the lutein ester extract can be greatly removed, the
viscosity of a lutein ester product can be effectively reduced, the properties of the product can be improved, the
melting point of the product can be increased, and the problems of difficulty in
drying, difficulty in crushing and the like are solved, so that the quality of the lutein ester product is improved, and related application of the lutein ester product is promoted.
