Description

Method for extracting biologically fermented carotenoid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of extraction and separation of microbial active ingredients. More particularly, relates to a method for extracting carotenoid from microbial fermentation.
Background
Carotenoids (carotenoids) are a generic name for an important class of natural pigments, which are commonly found in yellow, orange-red or red pigments of animals, higher plants, fungi, algae. It is an isoprenoid polymer containing 40 carbons, i.e., a tetraterpene compound. Typical carotenoids are formed by 8 isoprene units joined end to end. The color of carotenoids varies depending on the number of conjugated double bonds. The greater the number of conjugated double bonds, the more red the color shifts. The natural carotenoids found so far are over 700 kinds, and can be divided into two groups according to the difference of chemical structures, one is carotene family (containing only two elements of carbon and hydrogen, and not containing oxygen element, such as beta-carotene and lycopene), and the other is xanthophyll family (containing oxygen-containing functional group of hydroxyl, keto, carboxyl, methoxyl, etc., such as xanthophyll and astaxanthin). Carotenoid is the main source of vitamin A in vivo, and also has effects of resisting oxidation, regulating immunity, resisting cancer, delaying aging, etc.
At present, the preparation method of carotenoid mainly comprises natural extraction method, chemical synthesis method and microbial fermentation method. The natural extraction method has low carotenoid yield and high cost, and is limited by the raw material source; the chemical synthesis method has potential safety hazard; the microbial fermentation method has the advantages of simple process, high production efficiency, consistent biological activity with natural plant extracts and the like, and is receiving more and more attention. With the development of modern molecular genetic technology, the separation of genes is promoted, the in-vivo function complementation, the characteristic optimization of recombinase and the creation of transgenic plants are realized, and the progress of microbial fermentation biosynthesis of carotenoid is promoted. Carotenoids produced by microbial fermentation have become a good alternative to industrially synthesized carotenoids. Among them, fungus microorganisms (such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Phaffia rhodozyma and Blakeslea trispora) are the best choice for producing carotenoids in microbial fermentation industrialization, as fermentation engineering bacteria widely applied in food and drug industries.
Generally, the thickness of the fungal microbial cell wall is about 0.1 to 0.3 μm, and the thickness increases as the cell ages, the structure is tough and difficult to break, and the cell must be broken or decomposed by external force. The carotenoid belongs to an intracellular product, the structure of the cell wall of a fungus microorganism must be completely destroyed in the extraction process, so that the carotenoid can be fully released and effectively extracted, otherwise, the carotenoid is difficult to extract due to the obstruction of the cell wall. The unique structure of the cell wall of the fungal microorganism causes the cell wall to be difficult to break, the commonly used cell wall breaking methods such as a grinding method, a freeze-thaw method, an acid method, a high-pressure homogenization method, an ultrasonic method and the like have an unsatisfactory cell wall breaking effect on the cell wall of the fungal microorganism, and some methods can also destroy the activity of intracellular biomacromolecules.
In patent CN110407659A, a high-pressure homogenizer is adopted to carry out wall breaking on fungus microorganisms, the wall breaking pressure is 100MPa, the energy consumption is high, and the wall breaking rate is generally not more than 80%; in addition, the high-pressure homogenizer needs to break the wall in a liquid environment, after the wall is broken, a large amount of cell contents are gushed out, solid-liquid separation is troublesome, even if membrane concentration is adopted for solid-liquid separation, the water content is still as high as 40-50%, and the subsequent vacuum drying cost is greatly increased; patent CN201310116039.5 discloses a method for extracting astaxanthin, which adopts acidic aqueous solution to break the walls of algae, the wall-breaking step is simple, the wall-breaking rate is as high as more than 95%, but the wall-breaking temperature is high, which leads to unstable astaxanthin and loss of effective components (generally more than 25%); some patents adopt enzymatic wall breaking, but the time consumption of enzymatic treatment is long, generally for several hours, the carotenoid loss is about 20%, and the enzymatic wall breaking cost is high.
Therefore, the microbial wall breaking of the fungi is a difficult point for extracting the carotenoid through biological fermentation and is an important reason for restricting the extraction yield and the extraction cost. Incomplete wall breaking can increase the difficulty of the carotenoid extraction process and limit the extraction yield; in addition, since the carotenoid is a reductive substance, the carotenoid is very easy to oxidize, and the oxidation risk is increased and the purity is reduced when the carotenoid is exposed to an unstable environment for a long time in the wall breaking process.
