Background
Antarctic krill is one of invertebrates, belongs to the order of Krill of Crustacea, has a body length of 3-5 cm, is abundant in storage amount, and is conservative and estimated at present to be 6-10 hundred million tons. Protein resources are rich in antarctic bodies, the protein content is 17.56% (the water content of antarctic krill is 77.26%), and the proportion of high-quality protein is high. Amino acid composition analysis of Antarctic krill protein shows that: the antarctic krill protein is rich in amino acid composition, contains all essential amino acids for human bodies, particularly contains lysine which is representative of human nutritional characteristics, and has higher content than that of the well-known tuna, chicken and beef. The antarctic krill protein contains 53% of essential and semi-essential amino acids, and has high nutritive value. Antarctic krill is used as a huge protein library of high-quality marine protein, and has important significance for extracting and developing the protein of the Antarctic krill to supplement animal protein for human in the future.
Electrolyzed water is generally classified into two types, i.e., acidic electrolyzed water and alkaline electrolyzed water. The acidic electrolyzed water generates acid from the anode of the electrode, and is widely used in the fields of medical instrument disinfection, food sterilization, catering service, agricultural fruit and vegetable processing, aquatic product preservation and the like at present; alkaline electrolyzed water can be produced by the negative electrode, and the alkaline electrolyzed water still has higher utilization value as a byproduct for producing acidic electrolyzed water: (1) the alkaline electrolyzed water has the characteristics of easy permeation through cell gaps, strong permeability and the like, so the alkaline electrolyzed water still has strong sterilization capability; (2) the alkaline electrolyzed water has strong reducing power, and is of great help in the aspects of clearing free radicals in vivo and assisting the treatment of various senile diseases (tumors, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and the like).
Most studies have shown improved quality and safety of Food products after sonication (chandra, Oliver, kentih and ashokumar, 2012) (chandra, j., Oliver, c., kentih, s., & ashokumar, M. (2012). Ultrasonics in Food quality assessment and Food safety. trends in Food Science & Technology,26(2), 88-98.). However, in the prior art, more sodium hydroxide is usually adopted for extracting protein, which is not beneficial to environmental protection; and direct ultrasonic extraction often oxidizes proteins and destroys protein structures. And the protein extracted by the traditional alkali-soluble acid precipitation method has serious protein pollution and poor physical property, is not beneficial to the later processing of food, and has low extraction rate of the protein. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel method for extracting protein, which improves the extraction rate of protein and the performance of the extracted protein, and is environmentally friendly.

Example 1
(1) Preparing alkaline electrolyzed water: preparing sodium chloride aqueous solutions (0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, 1.5 wt%) with different concentrations, and then placing the aqueous solutions in an electrolytic water device (Tianye corporation, Shenkangcuan county, Japan, model FW-200) for electrolysis for 10 minutes to obtain three alkaline electrolytic waters, wherein ORP and pH contents in the three alkaline electrolytic waters are shown in Table 1;
(2) and (3) mixing the unfrozen antarctic krill with alkaline electrolytic water according to the feed-liquid ratio of 1g: 5mL of the mixture is mixed, and then the mixture is homogenized for 2min at the rotating speed of 500r/min to obtain a mixture;

In the embodiment, the electrolyzed water with different sodium chloride concentrations is used for extracting the proteins of the antarctic krill, and the electrolyzed water with different sodium chloride concentrations is used for comparing and verifying the extracted proteins. The results are shown in table 1: there was no statistical difference in effective reduction potential and pH for alkaline electrolyzed water prepared at different sodium chloride concentrations. The pH intensity of the electrolyzed water is weak, the pH value of the aqueous solution of the mixture is reduced to about 9.5 after the alkaline electrolyzed water and the antarctic krill are homogenized together in the process of extracting the antarctic krill protein, and in order to achieve the effect of extracting the protein by the alkaline-solution acid-precipitation method, the pH value of the homogenized mixture of the antarctic krill needs to be adjusted to 12 by 1mol/L of sodium hydroxide. The use amount of sodium hydroxide can be greatly reduced by adopting alkaline electrolyzed water to replace deionized water to be mixed with shrimp meat, and the volume of 1mol/L of sodium hydroxide is required for adjusting the pH value of a mixture obtained by mixing Antarctic krill with 1L of deionized water and 1L of alkaline electrolyzed water obtained by sodium chloride with different concentrations to 12, as shown in figure 1, the use amount of the sodium hydroxide can be reduced by about 33.4%.

In the embodiment, the euphausia superba protein is extracted by processing at 300W for different time (0, 10, 20 and 30min), and the influence of the processing for different ultrasonic time on the quality of the extracted protein is avoided. The particle size, foaming property, solubility and emulsifying property of the protein extracted from the euphausia superba treated by different ultrasonic time are improved in different ways. The particle size of the protein is one of the many factors that affect the functional properties of the protein, and smaller particle size proteins tend to have superior properties, as shown in figure 3: during the ultrasonic-assisted extraction process of the protein of the Antarctic krill, the particle size of the protein is gradually reduced along with the increase of the ultrasonic time. As shown in FIG. 4, the foaming ability and foaming stability of the protein obtained by ultrasonic-assisted extraction are improved, and the protein obtained by ultrasonic treatment for 20-30min has the best effect. Scanning electron microscope analysis (A is not ultrasonic; B is ultrasonic for 10 min; C is ultrasonic for 20 min; D is ultrasonic for 30min) is carried out on the protein extracted by different ultrasonic waves as shown in the figure 5, and the result shows that the structure of the euphausia superba protein is smaller and looser after ultrasonic treatment.

The experiment on the oxidation of the extracted euphausia superba protein by using different ultrasonic time assisted alkaline electrolyzed water shows. Protein carbonyl is an early marker of various amino acids in the oxidative modification process of proteins, and the higher content of the protein carbonyl indicates the higher degree of oxidative damage of the proteins, and the protein carbonyl is a main marker for measuring the oxidative damage of the proteins. The results of this example are shown in fig. 6, the content of carbonyl in the alkaline electrolyzed water extracted antarctic krill protein is far lower than that of the protein extracted by deionized water, the ultrasound-assisted treatment increases protein exposure and slightly increases the carbonyl in the extracted protein, but the content of carbonyl is also far lower than that of the protein extracted by deionized water, so the reduction potential in the alkaline electrolyzed water during the protein extraction process of the method can effectively protect the protein from oxidation.
