The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic matter extraction, and particularly relates to a green directional extraction and purification method for
haematococcus astaxanthin, which comprises the following steps: (1) mixing dried
haematococcus powder and a composite pretreatment agent according to a
mass ratio of 1: (8-15), and stirring to obtain a pretreated
algae solution; (2) treating the pretreated
algae liquid through ultrahigh-pressure microjet equipment to obtain wall-broken
slurry; (3) mixing the wall-broken
slurry and a composite extraction agent according to a volume ratio of 1: 3-1: 5, and performing extraction separation to obtain an
astaxanthin extraction phase; (4) carrying out
selective adsorption on the
astaxanthin extraction phase through an adsorption column filled with a
molecular imprinting adsorbent; (5) collecting eluent by adopting a
gradient elution method; and (6) performing vacuum concentration on the eluent, and performing
spray drying to obtain an astaxanthin product. According to the method, the astaxanthin extraction efficiency and the product purity are remarkably improved, meanwhile, the
energy consumption is reduced to the maximum extent, toxic
solvent residues are avoided, and the stability of the astaxanthin is effectively protected.
