利用微藻提取类胡萝卜素方法研究进展

近年来,人工合成类胡萝卜素的生物学效应和安全性备受质疑,微藻作为天然类胡萝卜素的最佳来源受到人们广泛的关注。在由微藻生产类胡萝卜素的过程中,提取技术是影响其推广应用的关键环节之一。本文首先介绍常见的高产类胡萝卜素微藻藻种,然后综述了目前国内外关于微藻类胡萝卜素的各种提取方法以及最新研究进展,对其中能够实现微藻培养和类胡萝卜素提取同时进行的原位萃取法进行重点阐述。最后对微藻类胡萝卜素的未来发展方向提出建议。 

Research advances in utilization of microalgae for carotenoids production

In recent years,the biological effects and safety of synthetic carotenoids have been disputed. People's attention has been attracted by microalgae,the best resource of natural carotenoids. In the process of utilizing microalgae for carotenoids production,extracting technology becomes one of the key steps in promotion and application of microalgae carotenoids.In this paper,microalgae specises which have high content carotenoids were introduced,and different extracting methods on carotenoids from microalgae and the latest research progress in China and abroad were reviewed.The in situ extraction in which cultivating microalgae and extracting carotenoids could be carried out simultaneously was particularly discussed.Finally,the future trends of microalgae carotenoids was proposed.
