Description

Astaxanthin composition and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of astaxanthin, and particularly relates to an astaxanthin composition, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Starch is a high molecular carbohydrate, a polysaccharide consisting of a single type of sugar unit. The basic constituent unit of starch is alpha-D-glucopyranose, and the covalent polymer formed by removing water molecules from glucose and connecting the glucose together through glycosidic bonds is the starch molecule. Under certain conditions, oligosaccharides with different polymerization degrees can be obtained after specific enzymatic hydrolysis or microbial fermentation. Oligosaccharides are not destroyed by human stomach acid and are not decomposed by digestive enzymes. But it can be utilized by bacterial fermentation in the intestine to convert to short chain fatty acids and lactic acid.
Astaxanthin has super-strong antioxidant capacity which is 500 times that of vitamin E, and besides, it has the functions of improving immunity, resisting aging, preventing arteriosclerosis and related diseases, maintaining the health of eyes and central nervous system, repairing after exercise, relieving fatigue, etc. Has wide application prospect in the aspects of health care products, medicines, cosmetics, food additives, aquaculture and the like.
Astaxanthin is fat-soluble and there are great limitations in practical use. Once it is desired to use it in a liquid or solid system, such as a beverage or tablet, a large amount of carrier such as an emulsifier, stabilizer, dispersant is required to maintain stability of the system, conventional stabilizers such as ethyl acetate, mono-diglycerides, polyglycerol fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene, sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene, sorbitan monopalmitate, sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan tristearate, sorbitan monooleate, and the like, due to its liposoluble dissolution characteristics. On the other hand, chelation of the additive also inhibits the digestive absorption of astaxanthin to some extent. Moreover, if used as a fat-soluble component alone, it is difficult to reach the action part to exert the effect due to the acid-base environment of the stomach and intestine, and the release is also affected.
Finally, the natural astaxanthin is extracted from algae, has special fishy smell of algae, and is greatly limited in development and application in products.
Therefore, the development of an astaxanthin product which can adapt to acid and alkali, is more stable, has low fishy smell and higher bioavailability is the key for solving the application.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical means, the creation features, the achievement of the purposes and the effects of the present invention easy to understand, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The invention provides an astaxanthin composition, which has good palatability and no algae fishy smell; has better water dispersibility, heat resistance, acid-base and illumination stability, and higher bioavailability, and greatly widens the application scene of the astaxanthin. The invention also provides a preparation method of the astaxanthin composition, and the production process of the astaxanthin composition is simple and beneficial to industrialization, and no organic reagent residue or synthetic additive is used. In addition, the invention also provides application and an application method of the composition.
Astaxanthin has super-strong antioxidant capacity, and besides it has effects of enhancing immunity, resisting aging, preventing arteriosclerosis and related diseases, maintaining eye and central nervous system health, repairing after exercise, and relieving fatigue. However, astaxanthin of natural origin is generally derived from algae extraction and has a particular fishy smell. In addition, astaxanthin is fat-soluble and poorly soluble in water, so that flavor and solubility can bring about many impediments to product development during practical use.
The existing fishy smell masking method is unhealthy and green due to the fact that a large amount of sugar or high-power sweetener or essence is used. Many schemes for improving the solubility of astaxanthin are available, and most of the schemes use embedding treatment, sodium alginate or other coating materials, and the schemes are only improved from the physical properties, so that the schemes have no effect on bioavailability, and even the digestion and absorption of the astaxanthin in vivo can be influenced after part of the additive is chelated with the astaxanthin. Therefore, a more green, safe and healthy way is needed to improve the solubility of astaxanthin so as to increase the application range of astaxanthin in different product systems and exert the efficacy of astaxanthin.
In one aspect the present invention provides an astaxanthin composition, said composition comprising the following components:
Component I: the component I is an oligosaccharide mixture enriched after starch is subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis or microbial fermentation or a derivative modified by taking the oligosaccharide mixture as a substrate;
component II: the component II is astaxanthin of natural source;
Preferably, the starch comprises one or more of corn starch, wheat starch, potato starch, pea starch, tapioca starch, mung bean starch, rice starch, sweet potato starch.
Still preferably, the enzyme for preparing component I comprises one or more of alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, CGT glucosyltransferase, isoamylase; the microorganism comprises one or more of bacillus, thermophilic bacillus, bacillus circulans, bacillus macerans, alkali-resistant bacillus megaterium and escherichia coli; the modification method comprises heat treatment, microwave treatment, ionization radiation treatment, ultrasonic treatment, ball milling treatment, extrusion treatment, high-pressure treatment, etherification, esterification, oxidation and crosslinking.
In a specific embodiment, the component I is an oligosaccharide mixture obtained by subjecting a mixture of tapioca starch, rice starch and pea starch to alpha-amylase, CGT glucosyltransferase, beta-amylase enzymolysis or escherichia coli fermentation, and then performing the steps of normal enzyme deactivation, filtration and the like.
In a more specific embodiment, the component I is an oligosaccharide mixture obtained by subjecting a mixture of tapioca starch and rice starch to alpha-amylase, CGT glucosyltransferase, enzymolysis, normal enzyme deactivation, filtration and the like.
In a more specific embodiment, the astaxanthin composition comprises at least 70% of the oligosaccharide mixture or a physically or chemically modified derivative with the oligosaccharide mixture as a substrate.
Starch is a high molecular carbohydrate, a polysaccharide consisting of a single type of sugar unit. The basic constituent unit of starch is alpha-D-glucopyranose, and the covalent polymer formed by removing water molecules from glucose and connecting the glucose together through glycosidic bonds is the starch molecule. After starch hydrolysis or fermentation, the molecules are hydrolyzed to the dextrin and oligosaccharide range, the number of substrate molecules is increased, and the tail end groups are increased. The special spatial structure forms a spiral structure with hydrophobic cavities and hydrophilicity, so that the spiral structure can form inclusion compounds. Inclusion of the encapsulated molecules within the cavity or between helices may prevent loss of the guest molecule during processing and storage or mask undesirable flavors.
The general operation is that after starch is hydrolyzed or fermented by microorganism, the starch needs to be separated and purified to obtain the target compound with single molecule. The compound is then used as a downstream product. The authors have found by chance that the enriched oligosaccharide mixture after hydrolysis or microbial fermentation of starch has the ability to encapsulate specific molecules. Based on the finding, the derivative which takes the oligosaccharide mixture enriched by starch after hydrolysis or microbial fermentation as a substrate after physical or chemical modification has a good wrapping effect. The encapsulation can significantly improve the water-dispersing properties of the encapsulated molecules.
The component II is astaxanthin of natural origin.
In a specific embodiment, the source of component ii is in the shell of an animal such as algae, fungi, phytoplankton, shrimp, crab, shellfish, etc.
In a more specific embodiment, the source of component ii is algae, fungi, phytoplankton.
Astaxanthin in nature is derived from algae, bacteria and phytoplankton. It has been found that many kinds of algae such as Haematococcus pluvialis, chlorella, chlamydomonas, euglena, and Chlorella contain astaxanthin.
Haematococcus pluvialis is a single-cell organism, and can promote cell growth when a nitrogen source is sufficient in the culture process; in the absence of a nitrogen source, the cells are stimulated to produce and accumulate astaxanthin in vivo. The haematococcus pluvialis for producing astaxanthin has the characteristics of quick cell reproduction, simple culture and easy extraction, and is considered as a microalgae with good astaxanthin production prospect. The astaxanthin in the excellent haematococcus pluvialis algae in foreign countries generally accounts for more than 90 percent of the total carotenoid, the production quality is better, the astaxanthin exists in an esterified form and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of the total carotenoid, and a small amount of astaxanthin exists in a free form. However, haematococcus pluvialis has the disadvantages of relatively high growth conditions, long culture period, light irradiation, wall breaking, astaxanthin release and the like.
Chlorella belongs to Chlorella of Chlorophyta, and has the characteristics of easy culture, rapid growth, high temperature resistance, extreme pH, easy outdoor culture, etc. The synthesized astaxanthin has partial advantages of both rhodotorula rubra and haematococcus pluvialis, and can be rapidly synthesized under the dark condition by using organic matters such as glucose as a carbon source and energy, wherein the optimal growth temperature and the optimal astaxanthin synthesis temperature are both close to the room temperature at 24 ℃. The higher the carbon-nitrogen ratio, the more favorable the synthesis of astaxanthin. The astaxanthin is accumulated in a large amount in cytoplasm in an esterified state, so that higher cell concentration is relatively easy to achieve, and the growth and propagation and the accumulation of the astaxanthin can be synchronously carried out.
In addition, chlamydomonas, euglena, umbelliferae, etc. also contain a certain amount of astaxanthin.
In addition, the astaxanthin composition also comprises a component III, wherein the component III is an auxiliary material or a filler acceptable in foods, medicines and cosmetics.
These adjuvants or fillers are known in the art and have the effect of mainly ensuring the mixing uniformity and processing properties among the materials, but do not have any of the solubility change and fishy smell masking effects described in the present invention and do not adversely affect the flavor of the product.
In some specific embodiments, these excipients include one or more of microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, soluble starch, sorbitol, calcium sulfate, magnesium stearate, calcium phosphate.
Based on the above description, in a specific embodiment, the present invention provides an astaxanthin composition comprising about 10% to 95% of said oligosaccharide mixture or a physically or chemically modified derivative based on said oligosaccharide mixture, and about 1% to 50% of astaxanthin, the balance being supplemented by acceptable water-soluble adjuvants or fillers in said food, pharmaceutical product, said specific amounts being determined at the time of application of said astaxanthin composition.
In a more preferred embodiment, the present invention provides an astaxanthin composition comprising about 20% to 95% of said oligosaccharide mixture or a physically or chemically modified derivative with the oligosaccharide mixture as a substrate, and about 1% to 30% of astaxanthin, the balance being supplemented by water-soluble adjuvants or fillers acceptable in said food, pharmaceutical product, said specific amounts being determined at the time of application of said astaxanthin composition.
In yet another preferred embodiment, the composition is in the form of a liquid, powder, granule.
