The invention discloses a method for preparing oil-soluble
phycocyanobilin through
protease-
lipase combination and an obtained product and application of the oil-soluble
phycocyanobilin. The method comprises the steps that water-soluble
phycocyanobilin is subjected to
protease catalytic hydrolysis in a
buffer solution, separation and purification are conducted after
protease is inactivated, and a phycocyanobilin-
peptide compound intermediate is obtained; dispersing the obtained intermediate in a non-polar
organic solvent, catalyzing by using
immobilized lipase, and carrying out
esterification reaction with
fatty alcohol with the
chain length of C8 to C18, so as to obtain the oil-soluble phycocyanobilin derivative. According to the invention, water-soluble
phycocyanin is successfully converted into oil-soluble
phycocyanin, and the product has remarkable oil
solubility and can be stably dispersed in a
grease system; the
reaction conditions are mild, the structure of the phycocyanobilin
chromophore is effectively protected from being damaged, and the color and the
biological activity of the product are ensured; the
thermal stability of the modified phycocyanobilin at 60 DEG C is improved; the biological
enzyme is used as the catalyst, the specificity is high, byproducts are few, the reaction
solvent can be recycled, and the process is green and environment-friendly.
