Description
2301587 PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF CAROTENOID PIGMENT FROM ALGAE The
present invention relates broadly to the recovery of astaxanthin carotenoid pigment from algae. More particularly, the invention relates to the recovery of astaxanthin carotenoid from Haematococcus pluvialis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.
As known, astaxanthin is a red-violet crystalline carotenoid pigment found in natural origin especially in the shells of crustaceans, yeasts, and accumulates in Haematococcus pluvialis algae.It is largely used as a pigment- ation supplement composition, generally for incorporation in feeds and particularly in animal feeds such as various types of fish. Since the cell walls of this type of algae are rigid and flexible, and therefore not easily disintegrated, the valuable pigment is available only after its recovery from the respective algae.
According to the PCT Publication No. 89/06910, the method involves a grinding of encysted Haematococcus after a prior drying, at cryogenic temperatures, such as liquid nitrogen usually followed by the addition of an antioxi- dant in order to inhibit the degradation of the pigment. The algae become impervious to many types of chemical and physical stresses and accordingly will withstand conventional grinding techniques.
Another method suggested for processing of Haematococcus pluvialis, applicable mainly on a laboratory scale, involves a vigorous vortexing with glass balls.
- 2 Another suggested method was to perform an enzymatic pretreatment which has the purpose of weakening the algae walls, preferably followed by glass balls grinding. The disa.,,antage of this method is that it requires a separate washing and an additional drying step, to remove the enzyme residue from the final product. However,a complete recovery of astaxanthin pigment was not achieved in any of the above mentioned methods.
A recent French Patent Application No. 2,703,692 claims a method for obtaining carotenoids from Haematococcus algae. The method involves freeze drying the encysted Haematococcus cells at a temperature below -500C followed by the addition of sodium chloride and comminnting the cells, in order to obtain particles with an average size below about 10 4. The carotenoids are further obtained from the comminuted Haematococcus algae by extraction using known solvents, such as:methylene chloride, hexane, ive berzene, acetone, etc. Although, this method might,I positive results on a small scale, it is doubtful whether it WOUld be applicable on a large scale, due to the requir,,:d stringent conditions. Furthermore, the use of organic solvents for this purpose seems to be quite una L I I-a,: t ilkle. it is an object of the present invention to provide a new process for tho recovery of astaxanthin carotenoid pigmerit Ut-oni Haematococcus pluvialis algae. it is another - 3 object of the present invention to provide a new process for an efficient rupture of algae cell walls without using stringent conditions. It is yet another object of the Present invention, to provide a simple process for an efficient rupture of algae cell walls, which can be easily implemented on an industrial scale.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION.OF THE INVENTION.
The invention relateh to a process for the recovery of astaxanthin carotenoid pigment from Haematococcus pluvi- alis algae, which comprises the steps of: comminution of the algae in a liquid medium by rupturing the cell walls algae containing said carotenoid and dispersing the resulted pignient from said algae, being characterized by the fact that said comminution is carried out i... a high pressure apparatus consisting of two consecutive units:
a pressure vessel and an interaction chamber, whereby a slurry, of said algae containing above 1% solids and gerierally between 5% to 10% by weight, enters into;-,aid pressure vessel maintained at a pressure of at least 2G 2,000 psi and preferably in the range of 3,000 to 6,000 psi and is conveyed into said interaction chamber mairtain.ed at a pressure of above 10,000 psi, and prefe rahly in the range of '1300) to 18000 psi said interaction (-..onta-nirig at least one channel, thi--,-,;ugit which lite luryy is passed ax: an increased velocity to effect a jet a rupture of the walls of the algae cells and a substantially decrease in the particles size of the algae, which impinge the disintegrated particles within a low pressure zone, whereby the astaxanthin car-otenoid pigment is released from the comminuted algae and is subsequently recovered. This recovery may be carried out either by drying the slurry containing the pigment, or by extraction of the pigment with an organic solvent. In the latter case one may also conceive to disintegrate the algae walls in the presence of an organic solvent which will subsequently extract the pigment. The particles size after the rupture of the algae cell walls decrease to about 20 to.15 g.
11 was found that by using this process, more than 95% of the aigae cell walls are disintegrated in a very short period of time. As a result,a high release of the pigment is achieved, as indicated by a very high extraction efficiency of the astaxanthin pigment, which is two to three times higher than the amount obtained by the known conventional methods.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Figure 1, repr-sents a flowsheet of the process for the recovery of astaxanthin carotenoid from Haematococcus pluvialis according to the present invention. iligure '.', iitistl,ates the percentage of the rupture as a function of the concent-ation of the algae in the slurry entering into the apparatus.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION.
According to the present invention, the rupture of the algae cell walls is based upon performing a turbulent jet on the liquid mixture containing the algae in a high pressure Ppparatus. The turbulent jet is produced along a common boundary as formed by the mixture. In oider to achieve a better efficiency of breaking the algae walls, it is preferred to recycle at least a substantial portion of the mixture through said chamber at the pressure prevailing in the respective unit at the corresponding ve. I oc i t Y.
The mixture f lowing through the channels develops a high 15 velocity, being under a high rressure, linear shear cavitation and impact forcks. In this manner, the broken Palticies of the cell walls became smaller and are dislpersed through the liquid medium. The solid particles of the biotrass containing the pigment are separated out from the dispersion followed by extraction of the pigmenL. Alternatively, the entire biomass may be dried.
The cxtent of the algae. eel[ walls breakage and the r t:! 1 t: -l _,- C of ihe (-.arotenoids (;an be evaluated according to the colotur imparted to the liquid medium, or quantitativt_-1y determined by a microscopic or spectroscopic examina t o n - 6 :-cording to a most preferred embodiment, it is suggested to add an antioxidant reagent, such as butylated hydroxyanisole, in order to avoid any oxidation of the pigment.
The recovery of the pigment from the algae according to the present invention was found to be more efficient than other known methods. in the following Table 1 the results of the piEment recovery from algae are given, as compared with other known methods.

it may be concluded from the above Table that only the meitiod using liquid nitrogen reaches an extent of release which is of the same order of magnitude as the process according to the present invention. However, the method using, liquid nitrogen shows the following main disadvantages: it can not be casiy applied on an industrial scale., it---equires a prior drying of the algae, and it is much more expensive than the process according to the present invention.
