Method for decolorizing and deproteinizing brown algae polysaccharides
Technical field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polysaccharide separation and purification,
and specifically relates to a method for decolorizing and deproteinizing brown algae
polysaccharides.
Background
Polysaccharides are natural macromolecular carbohydrates composed of at least 10
monosaccharides, which can be divided into plant polysaccharides, animal polysaccharides
and microbial polysaccharides according to their sources. Brown algae are high level algae
with about 1,500 species. The commonly seen brown algae in China include Laminaria
japonica, Undariapinnatifida,Macrocystis pyrifera, Ectocarpus confervoides,
Sphaerotrichia,Desmarestiaviridis, Scytosiphon lomentaria, Colpomenia sinuosa, Chorda
filum, Myosoton aquaticum, Dictyota dichotoma, Padina,Sargassum, Silvetia siliquosa,
Sargassumpallidum, Sargassum muticum, and Sargassumfusiforme. etc., which are
important sources of plant polysaccharides. At present, brown algae in China are mainly used
to produce algin, which is widely used in industry, but recent studies have shown that brown
algae polysaccharides have a variety of biological activities, such as anti-oxidation,
anti-coagulation, anti-virus, hypoglycemic effect, immune regulation, and so on, and thus they
have gradually been noticed by researchers. However, brown algae polysaccharides are often
mixed with impurities such as proteins and pigments, which hinder the purification,
classification, structure identification, and pharmacological activity analysis of the
polysaccharides. In addition, the commonly used decolorization methods such as activated
carbon method, hydrogen peroxide method and macroporous resin method and
deproteinization methods such as Sevage method, sodium chloride method, calcium chloride
method, trichloroacetic acid method and hydrochloric acid method have many shortcomings
including too many repetitions, cumbersome operation, large loss of polysaccharide
components, low purity, or the use of acids and organic solvents. Therefore, how to remove
17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU impurities such as proteins and pigments conveniently, effectively and environmentally has become a hot issue in the study of brown algae polysaccharides.
In addition to the traditional decolorization and deproteinization methods, the currently
studied decolorization and deproteinization methods includes that: CN201710249849.6
discloses a purification method for decolorizing and deproteinizing champion bean
polysaccharides, which is mainly based on D113 weakly acidic cation exchange resin to
achieve decolorization and deproteinization; CN201710394098.7 discloses a method for
deproteinizing and decolorizing polysaccharides in the by-product of mango processing,
which mainly comprises deproteinizing by TCA combined with n-butanol, and then further
decolorizing by activated carbon.
At present, the decolorization effect of H202 alone has been confirmed, but in order to
achieve a more ideal decolorization effect, a higher concentration of H202 is often required; in
addition, there are no reports about using either UV or H202 and UV combined with H202 for
simultaneous decolorization and deproteinization.
Summary of the invention
In view of the existing problems in the separation and purification of brown algae
polysaccharides, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for decolorization
and deproteinization in the purification process of brown algae polysaccharides to solve the
above problems. The whole process does not use acids, bases and organic solvents, which is

Detailed description
The technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below through
embodiments, but the technical solutions of the present invention are not limited to the
following embodiments.
Example 1
Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharides were decolorized and deproteinized by a UV/H202
method including the following steps:
(1) After the washed and dried Sargassumfusiformeis superfinely pulverized, 100 g of it
was mixed with 400 mL of 95 vol% ethanol and refluxed for 3 times in a slightly boiling state
for a total of 5 hours to remove lipids, pigments and small molecules. Then centrifugation was
carried out, the precipitate was collected and dried to obtain the pretreated Sargassum
fusiforme superfine powder.
(2) After the pretreatment, the superfine Sargassumfusiformepowder was extracted by
hot water at a material-liquid ratio of 1 g:50 mL. The extraction was under 100 °C for 4 h, and
the extract was centrifuged to obtain the supernatant. The supernatant was concentrated by a
17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU vacuum rotary evaporator, and then 95 vol% ethanol was slowly added to reach a final concentration of 80 wt%. The solution was shaken to mix uniformly, and then allowed to stand at 4 °C for 12 h. Centrifugation was carried out on the next day, the supernatant was removed, and the precipitate was washed with 95 vol% ethanol followed by standing at room temperature. After the ethanol was volatilized, an appropriate amount of pure water was added to dissolve the precipitate again, and finally the solution was concentrated by a vacuum rotary evaporator and lyophilized to obtain the Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharides.
(3) an appropriate amount of Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharides obtained above was
dissolved in pure water containing H202 so that the final concentration of the polysaccharides
was 2.5 mg/mL and the final concentration of H202 was 25, 75 and 150 mmol/L. Then the
solution was placed under ultraviolet light for decolorization and deproteinization for 2 h,
wherein the irradiation intensity was 6500 mJ/cm 2 . Then the decolorization and
deproteinization rates before and after UV/H202 treatment were measured. In addition, in
order to further evaluate the enhancement effect of combining UV with H202, the
decolorization and deproteinization effects of Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharide after UV
treatment or H202 treatment alone were further determined.
(4) Detection of decolorization and deproteinization effects of Sargassumfusiforme
polysaccharide solution by the UV/H202 method:
Decolorization rate detection: the wavelength of 420 nm is often used in the study of the
decolorization rate of polysaccharides; appropriate amounts of the polysaccharide solutions
treated for different time were centrifuged at 12000 r/min for 30 sec, and the absorbances at
420 nm were measured. The decolorization rate is calculated according to the following
formula, the results being shown in Fig. 1.
decolorization rate(%) absorbance before decolorization AO - absorbance after decolorization At 25 = x100 absorbance before decolorization AO
Deproteinization detection: protein has a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of
17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU
280 nm; at the same concentration, the absorbance indicates the concentration of the protein.
Therefore, the absorbance at the wavelength of 280 nm can be used as one of the evaluation
indicators of the deproteinization ability. Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer was used to
scan through a wavelength range of 200-800nm. The result is shown in Fig. 2a. In addition,
the protein content was further determined by the Coomassie Brilliant Blue method, and the
results are shown in Fig. 2b.
It can be seen from Fig. 1 that compared with the untreated Sargassumfusiforme
polysaccharide solution, the color of the polysaccharides becomes darker after UV treatment
alone, while the color of the polysaccharide solution becomes lighter after the 150 mmol/L of
H202 treatment alone, indicating that it has a certain effect on decolorization of the
Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharide solution. In the cases of treating with 25, 75 and 150
mmol/L of H202 combined with UV, the decolorization rates increase greatly. With the
increase of H202 concentration, the decolorization effect is better, indicating that the
treatment combining H202 with UV is a feasible and effective decolorization method for
Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharides.
Protein has a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of 280 nm; at the same
concentration, the absorbance indicates the concentration of the protein. It can be seen from
Fig. 2a that, compared with the untreated Sargassumfusiformepolysaccharide solution, the
absorbances at 280 nm do not change significantly after UV treatment alone and 150 mmol/L
of H202 treatment alone, while after treating with 25, 75 and 150 mmol/L of H202 combined
with UV, the absorbances at 280 nm of the Sargassumfusiforme polysaccharide solution are
greatly reduced, indicating that the protein contents in the solution are reduced. Further
determination by the Coomassie brilliant blue method (Fig. 2b) shows that the protein
contents in the solutions after UV treatment alone and 150 mmol/L of H202 treatment alone
do not change significantly compared to that of the untreated solution, but in the cases of
treating with 25, 75 and 150 mmol/L of H202 combined with UV, the protein contents
decrease significantly, which is consistent with the full-wavelength scan results. And as the
concentration of H202 increases, the protein content decreases. In summary, the treatment
17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU combining H202 with UV is a feasible and effective method for deproteinizing Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharides.
Example 2
Laminariajaponicapolysaccharide solution was decolorized and deproteinized by a
UV/H202 method including the following steps:
(1) After the washed and dried Laminariajaponicawas pulverized, 100 g of it was mixed
with 400 mL of 95 vol% ethanol and refluxed for 2 times in a slightly boiling state for a total
of 3 hours to remove lipids, pigments and small molecules. Then centrifugation was carried
out, the precipitate was collected and dried to obtain the pretreated Laminariajaponica
powder.
(2) After the pretreatment, the Laminariajaponicapowder was extracted by hot water at
a material-liquid ratio of 1 g:30 mL. The extraction was under 60 °C for 4 h, and the extract
was centrifuged to obtain the supernatant. The supernatant was concentrated by a vacuum
rotary evaporator, and then 95 vol% ethanol was slowly added to reach a final concentration
of 80 wt%. The solution was shaken to mix uniformly, and then allowed to stand at 4 °C for
12 h. Centrifugation was carried out on the next day, the supernatant was removed, and the
precipitate was washed with 95 vol% ethanol followed by standing at room temperature. After
the ethanol was volatilized, an appropriate amount of pure water was added to dissolve the
precipitate again, and finally the solution was concentrated by a vacuum rotary evaporator and
lyophilized to obtain the Laminariajaponicapolysaccharides.
(3) an appropriate amount of Laminariajaponicapolysaccharides obtained above was
dissolved in pure water containing H202 so that the final concentration of the polysaccharides
was 5.0 mg/mL and the final concentration of H202 was 25, 50 and 75 mmol/L. Then the
solution was placed under ultraviolet light for decolorization and deproteinization for 1 h,
wherein the irradiation intensity was 6500 mJ/cm 2 . Then the decolorization and
deproteinization rates before and after UV/H202 treatment were measured. In addition, in
order to further evaluate the enhancement effect of combining UV with H202, the 17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU decolorization and deproteinization effects of Laminariajaponicapolysaccharide after UV treatment or H202 treatment alone were further determined.
(4) Detection of decolorization and deproteinization effects of Laminariajaponica
polysaccharide solution by the UV/H202 method was carried out according to step (4) of
Example 1. The result of decolorization rate is shown in Fig. 3, and the result of
deproteinization is shown in Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b.
It can be seen from Fig. 3 that compared with the untreated Laminariajaponica
polysaccharide solution, the color of the polysaccharides becomes darker after UV treatment
alone, while the color of the polysaccharide solution becomes lighter after the 50 mmol/L of
H202 treatment alone, indicating that it has a certain effect on decolorization of the Laminaria
japonica polysaccharide solution. In the cases of treating with 25, 50 and 75 mmol/L of H202
combined with UV, the decolorization rates increase greatly. With the increase of H202
concentration, the decolorization effect is better, indicating that the treatment combining H202
with UV is a feasible and effective decolorization method for Laminariajaponica
polysaccharides.
Protein has a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of 280 nm; at the same
concentration, the absorbance indicates the concentration of the protein. It can be seen from
Fig. 4a that, compared with the untreated Laminariajaponicapolysaccharide solution, the
absorbances at 280 nm do not change significantly after UV treatment alone and 50 mmol/L
of H202 treatment alone, while after treating with 25, 50 and 75 mmol/L of H202 combined
with UV, the absorbances at 280 nm of the Laminariajaponicapolysaccharide solution are
greatly reduced, indicating that the protein contents in the solution are reduced. Further
determination by the Coomassie brilliant blue method (Fig. 4b) shows that the protein
contents in the solution after UV treatment alone and 50 mmol/L of H202 treatment alone do
not change significantly compared to that of the untreated solution, but in the cases of treating
with 25, 50 and 75 mmol/L of H202 combined with UV, the protein contents decrease
significantly, which is consistent with the full-wavelength scan results. And as the
17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU concentration of H202 increases, the protein content decreases. In summary, the treatment combining H202 with UV is a feasible and effective method for deproteinizing Laminaria japonica polysaccharides.
Example 3
Undariapinnatifidapolysaccharide solution was decolorized and deproteinized by a
UV/H202 method including the following steps:
(1) After the washed and dried Undariapinnatifida was pulverized, 40 g of it was mixed
with 1000 mL of 95 vol% ethanol and refluxed in a slightly boiling state for a total of 3 hours
to remove lipids, pigments and small molecules. Then centrifugation was carried out, the
precipitate was collected and dried to obtain the pretreated Undariapinnatifida powder.
(2) After the pretreatment, the Undariapinnatifidapowder was extracted by hot water at
a material-liquid ratio of 1 g:40 mL. The extraction was under 100 °C for 4 h, and the extract
was centrifuged to obtain the supernatant. The supernatant was concentrated by a vacuum
rotary evaporator, and then 95 vol% ethanol was slowly added to reach a final concentration
of 80 wt%. The solution was shaken to mix uniformly, and then allowed to stand at 4 °C for
12 h. Centrifugation was carried out on the next day, the supernatant was removed, and the
precipitate was washed with 95 vol% ethanol followed by standing at room temperature. After
the ethanol was volatilized, an appropriate amount of pure water was added to dissolve the
precipitate again, and finally the solution was concentrated by a vacuum rotary evaporator and
lyophilized to obtain the Undariapinnatifida polysaccharides.
(3) an appropriate amount of Undariapinnatifidapolysaccharides obtained above was
dissolved in pure water containing H202 so that the final concentration of the polysaccharides
was 10.0 mg/mL and the final concentration of H202 was 25, 50 and 100 mmol/L. Then the
solution was placed under ultraviolet light for decolorization and deproteinization for 2 h,
wherein the irradiation intensity was 6500 mJ/cm 2 . Then the decolorization and
deproteinization rate before and after UV/H202 treatment was measured.
17844994_1 (GHMatters) P116644.AU
(4) Detection of decolorization and deproteinization effects of Undariapinnatifida
polysaccharide solution by the UV/H202 method was carried out according to step (4) of
Example 1. The result of decolorization rate is shown in Fig. 5, and the result of
deproteinization is shown in Fig. 6a and Fig. 6b.
It can be seen from Fig. 5 that compared with the untreated Undariapinnatifida
polysaccharide solution, the color of the polysaccharides becomes darker after UV treatment
alone, while the color of the polysaccharide solution becomes lighter after the 100 mmol/L of
H202 treatment alone, indicating that it has a certain effect on decolorization of the Undaria
pinnatifidapolysaccharide solution. In the cases of treating with 25, 50 and 100 mmol/L of
H202 combined with UV, the decolorization rates increase greatly. With the increase of H202
concentration, the decolorization effect is better, indicating that the treatment combining H202
with UV is a feasible and effective decolorization method for Undariapinnatifida
polysaccharides.
Protein has a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of 280 nm; at the same
concentration, the absorbance indicates the concentration of the protein. It can be seen from
Fig. 6a that, compared with the untreated Undariapinnatifidapolysaccharide solution, the
absorbances at 280 nm do not change significantly after UV treatment alone and 100 mmol/L
of H202 treatment alone, while after treating with 25, 50 and 100 mmol/L of H202 combined
with UV, the absorbances at 280 nm of the Undariapinnatifida polysaccharide solution are
greatly reduced, indicating that the protein contents in the solution are reduced. Further
determination by the Coomassie brilliant blue method (Fig. 6b) shows that the protein
contents in the solution after UV treatment alone and 50 mmol/L of H202 treatment alone do
not change significantly compared to that of the untreated solution, but in the cases of treating
with 25, 50 and 100 mmol/L of H202 combined with UV, the protein contents decrease
significantly, which is consistent with the full-wavelength scan results. And as the
concentration of H202 increases, the protein content decreases. In summary, the treatment
combining H202 with UV is a feasible and effective method for deproteinizing Undaria
pinnatifidapolysaccharides.
