Embodiment 1

[0036] Embodiment 1, a kind of method for preparing high-purity astaxanthin extract, carry out following steps successively:

[0037] 1) Take 1mL of natural astaxanthin oil produced by Ningbo Honglong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and dilute it with 5mL of absolute ethanol to obtain the diluted astaxanthin crude extract;

[0038] Take 1 mL of the diluted astaxanthin crude extract and add it to 4 mL of 12 mmol / L NaOH-absolute ethanol solution, mix well and place it in a dark place for saponification at room temperature (25°C) for 1 hour to obtain a saponified solution;

[0039] 2) Add the saponified solution obtained in step 1) into the dichloromethane-water solution (obtained by mixing 5mL of dichloromethane+5mL of water), mix thoroughly, and then let stand to separate and discard the upper liquid. The lower liquid was concentrated at 45°C under reduced pressure (0.09MPa) to obtain an extract (about 200mg);

[0040] 3) Dissolve the extract obtained in step 2) in 1 mL of n-hexane:ac...

Embodiment 2

[0062] Embodiment 2, a kind of method for preparing high-purity astaxanthin extract, carry out following steps successively:

[0063] 1) Take 0.1mL of natural astaxanthin oil produced by Ningbo Honglong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and dilute it with 0.5mL of absolute ethanol to obtain a crude astaxanthin extract after dilution;

[0064] Take 0.1 mL of the diluted astaxanthin crude extract and add it to 0.4 mL of 6 mmol / L NaOH-absolute ethanol solution, mix well and place it in a dark place for saponification at room temperature (30°C) for 0.5 h to obtain a saponified solution;

[0065] 2) Add the saponified solution obtained in step 1) into a solution of dichloromethane-water (2mL+1mL), mix thoroughly, and then let stand to separate layers, and discard the upper layer liquid. The lower liquid was concentrated under reduced pressure at 40°C to obtain an extract;

[0066] 3) Dissolve the extract obtained in step 2) in 1 mL of n-hexane:acetone=4:1 (volume ratio) solution, and load a...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a high-purity astaxanthin extract. The method comprises the following steps in sequence: (1) taking a crude extract of astaxanthin, diluting with absolute ethyl alcohol, adding a NaOH- absolute ethyl alcohol solution with concentration of 6-12 mmol / L, and then placing at a dark place for saponification at room temperature; (2) adding the obtained saponification solution into a methylene dichloride-water solution, standing for layering, and concentrating the lower layer liquid to obtain an extractum; (3) dissolving the obtained extractum into a solution with the volume ratio of normal hexane to acetone being 4 to 1, and applying onto a silicagel column; sequentially performing the following elution: taking the solution with the volume ratio of normal hexane to acetone being 4 to 1 as the elution solution I for elution to obtain a yellow fraction, taking the solution with the volume ratio of normal hexane to acetone being 1 to 1 as the elution solution II for elution to obtain an orange fraction, and eluting with methyl alcohol till the silicagel column is colorless; and (4) performing vacuum concentration on the orange fraction, thereby obtaining an aubergine extractum which is the high-purity astaxanthin extract.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the separation and purification of natural products, and mainly relates to a method for preparing high-purity astaxanthin extract. Background technique [0002] Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid with the chemical name 3,3’-dihydroxy-β,β’-carotene-4,4’-dione and the molecular formula C 40 h 52 o 4 (Formula 1). Astaxanthin has a wide range of uses in industry: first, astaxanthin has health functions such as anti-oxidation, lowering blood fat, anti-tumor, and anti-aging, and can be used in food, health care products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries; second, astaxanthin Astaxanthin is a good food coloring agent, which can be used as a food coloring agent; thirdly, astaxanthin can also be used as a feed additive in the cultivation of ornamental fish and shrimp to make its color more vivid. In terms of sources, astaxanthin can be either artificially synthesized or extracted from living organisms. The application of artifi...
