To optimize the method for free astaxanthin detection and develop an extraction process for astaxanthin from Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous powder.
By optimizing the detection time and mobile phase ratio, an analytical method for free astaxanthin based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was established. On this basis, using Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous powder as raw material, the extraction process for astaxanthin from Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous powder was developed via single-factor experiments, Plackett-Burman design, and response surface methodology, using astaxanthin extraction yield as the evaluation index.
The limit of detection was 0.55 μg/g, and the limit of quantitation was 0.16 μg/g. The spike recoveries ranged from 105.12% to 127.70%, and the relative standard deviation in the precision test was less than 0.14%. The extraction process for astaxanthin from Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous powder was developed and optimized as follows: The average particle size of superfine Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous powder was 0.55 μm;the water addition ratio was 3.30:1 (mL:g); the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) addition ratio was 41.25:1 (mL:g); the acetone addition ratio was 137.50:1 (mL:g); the extraction was performed twice; after water addition, the mixture was incubated at 45 ℃ for 5 min; and after DMSO addition, it was incubated at 45 ℃ for 15 min. The extraction yield was 2.74 mg/g.
The established HPLC method for free astaxanthin is sensitive, accurate and reproducible, enabling rapid quantitative analysis of free astaxanthin in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. The optimized extraction process is efficient, stable and environmentally friendly. This study provides technical support for the application of Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous astaxanthin in aquaculture, food and other fields.
