Astaxanthin is a red ketone-based oxygen-containing carotenoid that is widely found in the biological world, especially in shrimps, crabs, fish and other aquatic animals, algae and yeast. It has antioxidant properties, improves metabolism, and improves eye and bone health. The role of joint health. Haematococcus is the microalgae with the highest astaxanthin content and the species with the highest accumulation of astaxanthin among all known astaxanthin-synthesizing organisms. Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis is recognized as the most suitable organism in nature for extracting natural astaxanthin.
difficulty
The spore wall of Haematococcus pluvialis is thick, and it needs to be broken to extract the active ingredient astaxanthin.
Preparation process
1. Preprocess to obtain aqueous Haematococcus samples and oily Haematococcus samples;
2.Use ATS high-pressure homogenizer, equipped with a special valve seat for cell disruption, and temperature control;
Result
1.Observation of the results of aqueous Haematococcus fragmentation
Figure 1 Before breaking, complete red ball shape
Figure 2 After breaking, the red spherical shape is basically broken.
2.Observation on the fragmentation of oily Haematococcus
Figure 3 Before breaking, red spherical shape with agglomeration.
Figure 4 After being broken, the red ball is still partially broken.
