In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts following technical scheme to realize:
A kind of preparation of water soluble lake of carminic comprises the steps:
(1) preparation of carmic acid mother liquor
Adding pH is 8.5~9 alkali lye in the cochineal stem body; Carminic acid in the extraction cochineal stem body; Add hydrolysising protease then and carry out proteolysis, filter behind the adjusting pH to 1-2.5, will filtrate then and remove the cochineal protein of molecular weight greater than 6000Da through milipore filter;
(2) color lakeization
When to be concentrated to carminic acid concentration be 2wt%~5wt% with above-mentioned carmic acid mother liquor, be warming up to 60 ℃-100 ℃, add alum solution and calcium chloride solution, regulate pH to 1-3 after insulation reaction 2-4 hour, make the color lake deposition and filter;
(3) generation in water-soluble color lake
It is in 20 ℃-80 ℃ the hot water that the above-mentioned cochinilin color lake filter cake that obtains is dropped into temperature, regulates pH to 7-10, insulated and stirred 0.5-2 hour, and after the filtration, drying.
Alkali lye in the said step (1) is the cushioning liquid of sodium carbonate, sodium acid carbonate or glycine and NaOH; Because leaching process is the dispose procedure of walking unhurriedly that a kind of carminic acid is converted into sodium salt; Adopt pH can accelerate the rate of release of carminic acid, reduce extraction time in 8.5~9 scope; Can make simultaneously carminic acid be in receptive phase in the situation that alkali condition decomposes again, its resolution ratio is less than 1.5%.
Protease in the said step (1) is neutral proteinase or animal proteolytic enzyme, its pH≤9, and the proteolysis condition changes according to the difference of the enzyme of selecting.
Milipore filter in the said step (1) must can molecular cut off greater than the material of 6000Da.
Carmic acid mother liquor in the said step (2) comprises: carmine color acid butt 5wt%-20wt%; With cochineal protein hydrolysate butt 5wt%-20wt%.
The carmic acid in the said step (2) and the mol ratio of alum are 1: 0.5-5, the mol ratio of carmic acid and calcium chloride is 1: 0.5-9.
The cochinilin color lake filter cake in the said step (3) and the weight ratio of water are 1: 1-15.
PH in the said step (3) is preferably 8-9.
The application of said water-soluble cochinilin color lake in food products, candy, beverage, medicine and cosmetics.
Because carminic acid belongs to the hydroxy-anthraquione derivative, according to its molecular structure, belong to madder type hydroxy-anthraquione derivative, can be water-soluble, diluted acid, diluted alkaline, ethanol, propane diols, be insoluble to ether or edible oil, can adopt therefore that alkali is carried, alcohol extracting, supercritical CO
2Extracting three kinds of modes extracts the carminic acid in the cochineal.Supercritical CO wherein
2Extraction just proposed in recent years, and relevant report is fewer, and needed specific laboratory apparatus, therefore was difficult to extensive use.The present invention carries, after alcohol extracting experiment compares, finds that alkali puies forward effect and be superior to the alcohol extracting effect through a series of alkali, considers follow-up color lake chemical industry preface simultaneously, therefore confirms to adopt the alkali lye method for distilling to carry out the extraction of carminic acid.
But for the extraction of carminic acid, its influence factor possibly also have temperature, pH, extraction time, and the present invention has carried out orthogonal experiment to confirm the optimum condition of extraction process to this.Fig. 2 is the pH of carminic acid and the graph of a relation of carminic acid resolution ratio, from figure, can find that after pH was greater than 10, the decomposition rate of carminic acid obviously increased.
The film device that the present invention simultaneously also adopts the membrane molecule interception to be respectively 6000Da, 3000Da, 1000Da experimentizes to the coccinic acid extract, finds directly to adopt membrane separation technique also can effectively remove the potential allergy protein of molecular weight greater than 6000Da; Simultaneously according to experiment also explain pH acid with neutrallty condition under the effect of separating through film better; And under alkali condition owing to there is the decomposition of carminic acid; So the yield of product lower (part is decomposed), the environment for use of therefore explanation the best should be carried out under neutrality or solutions of weak acidity; And three kinds of films that experiment is adopted all can be removed the potential allergy protein of molecular weight greater than 6000Da.
