The invention discloses preparation of soluble
squid ink
melanin after fishy smell removal, and an application of the soluble
squid ink
melanin after fishy smell removal in foods, and belongs to the technical field of the foods. The preparation method comprises the following steps of unfreezing
squid ink sacs, performing centrifuging, taking precipitate, then adding a
citric acid /
sesamol /
ethanol composite fishy smell removal agent, performing stirring fishy smell removal treatment on the precipitate, then performing centrifuging, taking precipitate, performing washing repeatedly, and performing freeze-
drying so as to obtain insoluble
melanin samples; and dispersing the insoluble melanin in water, performing ultrasonic treatment for some time, then performing cooling, performing centrifuging, taking supernatant, and performing
freeze drying so as to obtain the soluble squid melanin after fishy smell removal treatment. According to the preparation disclosed by the invention, the fishy smell removal treatment is performed through the
citric acid /
sesamol /
ethanol composite fishy smell removal agent, so that the problem of fetor of cephalopoda melanin is thoroughly solved, and the prepared squid soluble melanin does not have any fetor taste and can be applied to development of foods, medicines and
cosmetics.
